Fruits Of The Spirit Songs: "Joy"

Here's the latest installment in my "Fruits of the Spirit" song series. As if it weren't obvious, this is a collection of songs on the subject of "Joy." If these don't bring a smile or two to your face, you may want to check your spiritual health. I did and found that I could use a little more joy in my life. This set of songs is a good place to start. Take a listen!  ~  JH

Songs By Artists With Presidential Names, Vol. 1

I get a lot of dumb ideas, and sometimes I blog about them. The other day, I wondered if I could find a singer or band whose name included the surname of each of our 44 Presidents. And, as it turns out, I could! Here's the first 22 of them. If enough people are interested to view this post, I'll post the other half this afternoon. If not, I'll post it tomorrow. (You see, you can't really escape it.) Enjoy!  ~  JH
