Empty CD Cases [Music Monday]

[Note: Facebookers - you'll need to look at the original post if you want to click the links.]

So the wife and I went on a cleaning spree Saturday. Actually, she was cleaning and I went on an organizing rampage. My cd collection has been destroyed, manhandled, scratched and mutilated since kids came along.

I'm pretty sad about the empty cd cases. Does anyone have any of these cds? I'll give them back, I promise.

- Audio Adrenaline, Worldwide
- Bryan Duncan, The Last Time I Was Here.
- Cedarmont Worship For Kids, Volume 1
- Steven Curtis Chapman, The Great Adventure
- Steven Curtis Chapman, Signs of Life
- Michael W. Smith, This Was Your Time
- Michael W. Smith, i 2 (Eye)
- Michael Card, The Life, Disc 2
- Third Day, Offerings, A Worship Album

Sadder than a caseless cd, or a cd-less case, is the thought that there are cds I have purchased and lost case and all, and fail to remember. Oh well. We live here for a time, and we do not take anything with us when we go. Why cry over that which is lost and cannot be brought to mind or reclaimed?

Instead, we ought to enjoy what God has given us in the now, delight in it for His Glory and our joy. I got to listen to Tormato by Yes yesterday for the first time in a long time. Brilliant, in a 'care for the creation' kind of way, and also the 'what were they thinking' kind of way. The boldly beautiful and piercingly painful keyboarding of Rick Wakemen is my favorite.

Just a sample for your listening delight:

Pasta Keith,

I believe that I may have the Steve Curtis Chapman discs and the Michael W. Smith. Possibly Audio Adrenaline. We can look at Thanksgiving time.

I also have suffered from this disease.

I think I have the Michael Card one. I'll look.
