Message Mondays and Throwback Tuesdays (Retail Therapy)
It has amazed me, and continues to do so, how I see many people latch onto something new. Always whenever I browse the nearest DVD/electronics store in the shopping centre that I frequent, I see many people browsing the latest, whether it be movies, TV shows, CD’s, or even the latest versions of phones, iPads and the latest gadgets like fit-bits and nutri-bullets. And what has continued to amaze me is how quickly we drop that particular thing we purchase after a few weeks, and latch onto the next thing. Since when did we as a human race become so fickle-minded in our purchases? Are we really that bored with our purchases one week that we need to fill that void the next? This is not a griping session, yet in this week’s Message Mondays/Throwback Tuesdays, I delve into the theme of retail therapy, and how sometimes, it can be celebrated and enjoyed, and other moments we may need to take time out, in the view to keep our sanity and the sanity of those around us intact.

Message Mondays – The Struggle
One of my favourite Christian bands of late has been quintet Tenth Avenue North. With songs like “Healing Begins”, “By Your Side”, “For Those Who Can’t Speak”, “Strong Enough to Save” and “Worn” to name a few, they have written and sung some of, what I reckon, have been the most underrated, impacting and confronting songs out of any other CCM band in the industry at the moment. In fact, it was, and still is, their 2012 album The Struggle that has impacted me the most out of all albums the band has done. This message Mondays post in particular is devoted to Tenth Avenue North, and what they have to say about their 2012 album, which I reckon is one of that year’s best (out of every album 2012 has ever produced).
