Free At Last

I'm feeling a little old skool today so I'm pulling out DC Talk which hasn't made an appearance yet on the 365.  That's largely due to the fact that they haven't been a group for years so I don't think about them as a group anymore, rather as individuals with their new projects.  tobyMac has a successful (that's probably an understatement) solo career, Michael Tait is front for the Newsboys, and Kevin Max has his own solo career as well. 
Free at Last was one of many songs that put DC Talk on the music map.  For that time they were like no other band (white rappers say what?!) and they really made some inroads in Christian music.  They brought together the best of Christian pop and Christian rap and mixed the two to become a hugely successful band. 
I will probably always love Free at Last and actually the album it was on.  It's like my "oldies".  DC Talk is to me like Beach Boys is to my Dad. 
Free at Last celebrated the freedom we can have in Christ.  And we CAN have that freedom, it is available to all - it isn't withheld from anyone.  If it isn't available it is because you have made it inaccessible to yourself.  In Christ there IS freedom.  Celebrate it!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
