It wasn’t long before I figured out that two blogs were virtually impossible to manage so I combined them. Ever since, benchilcote.net has been a combination of personal creativity…
This song ROCKS. It especially rocks to play. It especially rocks a lot to play with a full band. We’ve used this song a few times in our services. Casting Crowns has proved to be a game changer in Christian music. There songs are well delivered and usually carry a challenging message. Well done, Casting…
