A long time ago, Ali and I said we didn't want our kids singing immoral "normal" songs you hear on the radio every day. By immoral I am talking about the regular garbage you hear in music about sexual conquests, violence and just flat out disregard for human kind.
I will be the first to admit that from my original perspective I had this goal mainly because I can't stand certain kinds of garbage "bubble-gum" and gangsta rap melodies that pass for entertainment these days. In the past 2 years however it has become much more than that. (I must say it has always been more than that for Alicia, she is obviously much more advanced than me!!!)
I have a deep desire for music and listening/sharing quality music from artists of all genre's. If you know me, you know this is true. You will almost always hear me listening to both Christian and Secular music of all types to find new artists that I enjoy, and I will always be willing to share what I find with you and anyone else that so desires to hear new music. However, I have recently become outright distusted by certain vulgar content that is played all over the airwaves in our society. I don't think I need to leave any examples, you all know what I am talking about.
Long story breaking to a short conclusion... Alicia was driving to work this morning with the normal sounds of Elmo and Care Bears coming from the back with the kids and her 91.9 playing in the from to help her sanity! She turned the radio down to hear what Sydney was saying only to find out she was singing. Sydney very promptly called out to Alicia and said "Mommy! Turn that back up I was singing that song!!!"
What was the song you ask? "Blessed be the name of the Lord" by Tree63. We are so very proud! Now if I could only get her to humm some Wish You Were Here or Momentary Lapse...
