Today, my wife, son, and I joined over 50 of our colleagues from the church in the Philippines where I work, for a fun day of environmentally aware activities at the Zoobic Safari Nature Park in Subic, Olongapo. The almost three-hour drive, while hardly difficult, certainly tired me out even upon arrival there, and suffice it to say that I was adequately pooped.

Happy holidays, everybody! In celebration of House of Praise’s delightful decision to bring in the new CDs of some of my favorite artists, I’m giving away four Christian CDs to four lucky – separate – winners this December! Taking a page from my good pal Raft3r, each contest is named after a hit song of the artist whose CD is at stake for that particular week.
