Normally in the car we listen to 106.1 which is pop music, and my girls love to sing, they learn songs really quickly. I realized a couple of weeks ago and was convicted of the fact that there are some VERY inappropriate songs on the radio that they do not need to be listening to. (nor do I) How about this one, "I kissed a girl and I liked it" Um yeah, you definitely don't want your 7 year old daughter singing that song! So I have turned off the radio and put in a Gateway worship CD. It is so peaceful and I love it! The weights of this world bog me down so easily and when I listen to it, I feel lighter, refreshed, renewed, and encouraged! So the other day, we were listening to it on the way to school and I took the girls in and got back in the car and it was back on! I heard Joey in the backseat singing the words with the song, he was singing "Worthy, Worthy, you are Worthy, worthy to be praise" It was the sweetest, most precious sound I have ever heard, to hear that little 4 year old voice singing praise to God. I was immediately reminded that is how our Heavenly Father feels when we sing praise to him. He loves it so much. I want to encourage all of you to put in some worship music in the car and see what a difference it makes in your life!

LOL - yeah non of us want our daughters singing "I kissed a girl ..."!!! That is sooo sweet about Joey. :) I think I'll stick to my nerdy 570 KLIF AM radio gab for now... but good for you! that is a good idea!
That "I kissed a girl" song gets totally stuck in your head!!! Unfortunately, I love the tune to that one... For the past 2 months i have pretty much only listened to worship = Gateway, Kari Jobe, Hillsong and Desperation. I've been on a bit of a country kick too - but anyways - i totally agree with it changing the way you feel - i cry every time i think about the words of some of these songs as i sing them!! so beautiful!
