It was just recently that I used to listen to the songs of this band, Casting Crowns. I heard this band before but never was on my mind that their songs were great.


Casting Crowns started six years ago. This GRAMMY, American Music and Dove Awardee and having 8-chart topping radio singles band remains focused on discipleship through music. With lead singer and songwriter Mark Hall’s 18 years in youth ministry, the band’s message remains rooted in the student services he has led on a weekly basis since 2001, at Eagles Landing Baptist church near Atlanta. The songs start as messages for his 400 teenagers and their families. With boldly honest, hard-hitting lyrics, the band continues to challenge, strengthen and pour into the body of Christ, giving listeners a fresh, relevant perspective on loving God and loving people.


The band is composed of seven talented musicians. Mark Hall – lead vocals, Juan DeVevo – guitar/vocals, Hector Cervantes – guitar/vocals, Chris Huffman – bass, Megan Garrett – piano/vocals, Melodee DeVevo – violin/vocals and Brian Scoggin – drums.


They released their albums on 2003 – Casting Crowns, 2005 – Lifesong, 2007 – The Altar and The Door, 2008 – Peace On Earth. And this year, they released their album entitled “Until The Whole World Hears”. Living life with a kingdom focus, a reaching-out, loving-the-world-like-Jesus-does purpose – is the focus of the band’s latest album.


This band offers not just great music and voice but also wonderful message on every song.

Who among you have no Facebook or Friendster account yet? Maybe none or almost none. Many people today get hooked into this social networking. They used it for communication, fun, games, etc. Of course, when we talk of social network, first thing that comes into our mind is Friendster or the more popular Facebook.


Why is it that more users prefered to use Facebook than Friendster? If I were to ask? Well, I’d say Facebook is really much better than Friendster. Why? It’s because Facebook is cleaner. Clean in a way that the ads were properly placed. Simpler design, but sophisticatedly developed. Has various applications, especially games which I think as what I had observed one of the reasons why Facebook has more users than Friendster. And of all the things I like the most is that it is rich in AJAX which makes it faster than Friendster because it does not need to load the whole page when a user takes a certain action. Although Friendster today is different than before, new layout, new applications and new owner actually because it was sold to a Malaysian tycoon but if compared to Facebook, I think it’s not enough. Maybe soon.


These were only based on my own opinions. You have your own choice. Besides, there are lots of choices out there. There’s MySpace, Twitter, Plurk and many more…

After their big hit last 2007, the Trio are back again bringing more fun and more casts. Alvin and the Chipmunks – The Squeakquel is the sequel of Alvin and the Chipmunks showed last 2007.
