We’ll be getting together tonight with friends from our small group to ring in the new year together – nothing better than hanging out with friends playing some Wii, enjoying good food and laughing together.

There’s lots of young kids who will be there so there’s some talk of doing Happy New Year Greenland! as part of our festivities :)

2007 has been a pretty memorable year for me – personally, professionally, musically and blog-ly. Thanks for being a part of the ride. I’m looking forward to a great 2008!

2008 Make It Great!

I just posted the Top 10 most-played songs of the year but here are the Top 10 songs that I added to my iTunes this year:

1. The Power Of The Cross – Kristyn Getty
2. We Could Run Away – Needtobreathe
3. Glorious One – Steve Fee
4. Waiting On Your Love – Justin McRoberts
5. Washed By The Water – Needtobreathe
6. When God Ran – Philips, Craig & Dean
7. Victorious – Steve Fee
8. Respect – Aretha Franklin
9. Taps – Justin King
10. Streets Of Gold – Needtobreathe

Haha – okay I feel like this list needs a little more justification than the last one!

First – I told you I was loving the Needtobreathe record and now you can see that I was serious.

Second – “When God Ran” got lots of love because I put together a video using that song for one of our services. I much prefer the Shaded Red version, anyways.

Third – I l-o-v-e that Aretha made the list! This is mostly because of our amazing Krazee Arts Camp from the summer and the music that we would play while kids were arriving.

Fourth – If you’re a guitar player and you haven’t heard Justin King, you’re missing out. RSS’ers – come check the video!

UPDATE: Stephen asked how to get this playlist. In iTunes go to File -> New Smart Playlist and when the little window pops up choose “Date Added” from the first dropdown box then “is after” and then “01/01/2007″. In the line with the checkbox you want “Limit to 10 items selected by most often played.”

Here we go – the ten songs that got the most play in my office this year.

1. The Adventure (Radio Edit) – Angels & Airwaves
2. Reaching – Leeland
3. Hide and Seek – Imogen Heap
4. The Son of God Came Down – Sovereign Grace Music
5. Yes You Have – Leeland
6. Here Is Our King – David Crowder Band
7. Favorite Arcade – Hello Kelly
8. Yet I Will Praise – Melissa Boraski
9. Your Grace Is Enough – Chris Tomlin
10. Unchanging (Raise Up Holy Hands) – Chris Tomlin

UPDATE: To get this playlist in iTunes, go to File -> New Smart Playlist and when the little window pops up choose “Play Count” from the first dropdown box then “is greather than” and then “0″. Click the little + box beside it and then choose “Last Played is in the last 12 months.” In the line with the checkbox you want “Limit to 10 items selected by most often played.” Make sure you’ve got “Match all of the following rules” checked at the top of that window.
