All Saints Day
by Jill Phillips 09
2008
This past Sunday was All Saints Day, the day in the liturgical church calendar we remember and honor those who have died in the Lord. This has always been a really meaningful service for me, but this year I walked into our little Anglican church in Nashville with some trepidation. Our pastor, Thomas, had sent [...]
A.W. Tozer: Shooting From The Hip
by Ron Block 07
2008
Quoted from The Best of A.W. Tozer:
“No man is better for knowing that God so loved the world of men that He gave His only begotten Son to die for their redemption. In hell there are millions who know that. Theological truth is useless unless it is obeyed. The purpose behind all doctrine is to [...]
Episode 5: Andrew Peterson, “About Resurrection Letters, Vol. II”
by Andrew Peterson 06
2008
Hey, folks. I just published a new episode of the Rabbit Room Podcast. I don’t mean to hog the air time, but I wanted to share the stories behind the new songs on RL II with the folks who couldn’t make it out to one of the release shows. The whole album is on here, [...]
Flash of Genius – A Tale of Two Outcomes
by Russ Ramsey 04
2008
Nikola Tesla, inventor of the radio, said, “I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.” —from the “Flash of Genius” [...]
Randall Goodgame – Bluebird
by Stephen Lamb 04
2008
If you haven’t heard the news yet, Randall Goodgame’s new album, Bluebird, officially releases today. About six weeks ago, as they were nearing the end of the recording process, Randall asked if I would write some string arrangements for it. I thought I’d write a little about the process here, for those interested [...]
Home at Last
by Andrew Peterson 03
2008
The tour ended a few days ago. Josh and I rolled up the long gravel driveway to our house at about 1:30 am after having covered eleven states and almost 5,000 miles. Jamie had left the pumpkins lit and the porch light on, and my little house on the hill looked as warm and comforting [...]
“What’s Your Favorite Song?”: Political Songs
by Jason Gray 03
2008
Artists are passion people. To feel passionately about things seems to be a prerequisite to the creation of most art forms, maybe music especially.
A songwriter’s passion for ultimate ideas is what drives him/her to write songs about love, life, God, and other ultimate ideas – even ideas about justice, war, and the way the world [...]
Apples To Apples
by Jason Gray 31
2008
Sorry I’ve been MIA here for a bit. Between the Fall tour, writing for the next record, and quick trips home to be with my family, there’s been little room for extracurricular writing. But I wanted to let you know that CMCentral.com has posted a new piece I wrote about apples and what they have [...]
Kierkegaard Quote
by Matt Conner 30
2008
My friend posted a quote the other day that has me thinking (although it should have me ‘doing’). I’ve actually read this a couple times but now, more than ever, I am considering the implications and whether or not I agree. Then I thought the Rabbit Room is a perfect place for such an excerpt:
The [...]
Lives of Quiet Desperation
by Curt McLey 29
2008
My first career was radio broadcasting. My big break came when I was hired as the all night guy at 59/WOW Omaha. That era was the tail end of the glory days for music on AM radio. With 5,000 watts and a favorable dial position, our signal blasted into Canada, seven or eight states, and with the skywave signal during [...]

Facing the Truth
I went to the doctor yesterday for the first time in years. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been sick; it means I’m the kind of stubborn fool who doesn’t like to take an ibuprofen for a headache, the kind of crank who would rather walk around squinting and snappy than to take the blasted aspirin. I just don’t like medicine. I prefer sweating it out, however inconvenient that is for the people around me. So after ten days of coughing and sniffling and whining I finally decided it must be a sinus infection. I have a show in a few days, and I can’t afford to be sick. So I bravely did what any man in my shoes would do: I asked my wife what to do. She told me which doctor to visit and I drove to the offices with a steely resolve. The nurse behind the sliding glass window handed me the clipboard with the dreaded New Patient Paperwork, and then the thing happened that made me want to write this.
The questions began. “Do you have any allergies?” “Do you drink caffeine?” “Do you use tobacco?” “If so, how often?” “Do you exercise regularly?” “Is there a history of heart disease in your family?” “Have you had any surgeries?
