Saturday Surprises

Bryan and I have a lot in common. We love the outdoors, good wine, good music, and the company of the people we love most. However, there is something I religiously watch or record on the Moxi box that he puts up with only because he loves me -

He absolutely loathes this show.

If you know me at all, you know that one of my regrets is never auditioning for the show. I'm not fantastically awesome, but I have a pretty good set of pipes. I'd be interested to see what Simon has to say about me. :-) Alas, I'm now too old.

I have always admired the contestants who make it onto the show and use their time to give glory to God. I love to hear their testimonies and see how HE has changed them.

While I was blog-hopping this afternoon (read: avoiding the gym), I came across a video of Jason Castro. Somehow, I missed the boat on this guy. He's got a new fan in me today...

You didn't miss the boat :) His CD will be out this year. He is all about service and definitely "Shines His Light".

You can check him out all over the place.

Better late than never finding Jason! I knew there was something special about the kid the moment I heard him sing Daydream on Idol. After researching a bit on the web, I came to know of his faith. He not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk. He's an amazing young man and his music just grabs my soul. I think you will also enjoy his rendition of White Christmas that he sang at Lakepointe Church on Christmas Eve. Here's the link:

And here his pastors have a little fun with him!
