Hey everyone, Laura here! In honor of their new album release, “The Loudest Sound Ever Heard” our friends from The Choir are giving away a free song this week PLUS a prize pack that includes a great t-shirt (as you can see here) & an autographed copy of the album.

Before I go any further though, I wanted to take a second to share this awesome song with you from the record that you must hear first. Why? Because it’s my favorite track, and I was able to convince the band to let us stream it for free this week just so you all can enjoy it! It’s the album’s closing song, “After All”, which features a stunning duet with Sixpence None The Richer’s Leigh Nash, in what will no doubt become a signature song for the band. Click below to hear it for yourself and let me know what you think!

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time of year—the leaves are changing colors, winter jackets are being brought out of the closet, and Starbucks brings back the Pumpkin Spice Latte. The season is  all about family, being thankful for one another, and enjoying each other’s company. Our main memories of Thanksgiving stem from sitting around the table with our families and friends with turkey, dressing, green bean casserole, yams, rolls, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie covering the entire dining room table. It is the one time of the year that all diets and healthy habits are thrown aside, and we can officially indulge ourselves. I mean come on it’s called the holiday season for a reason, right?

But when the big meal is over, do you ever wonder, “What am I going to do with all of these leftovers?” Generally, both of our families overcook every Thanksgiving, so there are enough leftovers for a few days, and after a while the regular turkey sandwich just doesn’t cut it. In this video, Todd Agnew provides a fresh new recipe for your leftover turkey. Watch the video, and surprise your family with a great, different meal that everyone can enjoy!

What are some of your favorite leftover recipes? Leave your comments below to enter for a chance at winning a Todd Agnew CD library!

Happy Eating,

Wow, check out this good looking Blindside prize pack sitting here all alone. I think it’s in need of a new home, so thought one of you might be willing to take it in

I’m super psyched that these Swedish rockers are going to be making their way to the states in September, and more specifically, to Nashville. (Click here to see if they’ll be coming through your town) But, you know what would be even better than seeing them play in Nashville? …. Seeing them play in their hometown of Sweden. Yep. I secretly dream of traveling the world one day, and I’d say Sweden might be on my list of places to go if I actually had one. For this week’s ‘Favorite Things Friday’ I thought I’d at least try to get it started with my top 5 picks and then see what you guys have to say.

Here’s what I’ve come up with as far as 5 places in the world that I’d like to visit, but I want to know yours too! Leave your list in the comments section, and you’ll be entered to win that beautiful Blindside prize pack above. 1 winner will be chosen to get a t-shirt, lyric card set & autographed CD!

5 Places I really want to see one day:

1. Israel
2. Italy
3. Greece
4. Ireland
5. China

Have a great weekend!

What does it look like when I spend years praying for healing for my husband that never comes? I feel like we’ve gotten to a place of having to make a choice- are we going to judge God based on our circumstances that we don’t understand? Or are we going to chose to judge our circumstances based on what we hold to be true of God? I’m learning that every morning when I wake up, to choose to trust God. And that’s what “blessings” is about. It’s just considering… MAYBE THE BLESSING IS ACTUALLY FOUND IN THE ABSENCE OF THE THING THAT I’M PRAYING FOR.
