Last year on this date, Orin wrote a thoughtful reflection on the anniversary of the September 11th attacks. This year, on this date, I (Shannon) have neither the time nor the headspace to write something thoughtful. And yet, it’s my turn for Jesus-Justice-Joy. Soooo…I think for today I just want to try and bring a…

Songs We Should Never Record – NCCYM 2014
Hello NPM 2021! Thanks for visiting. We had a great time at this year’s convention, and hope you did too, whether in person or virtually. Below is the webpage we set up when we debuted “Songs We Should Never Record” at NCCYM in 2014. Enjoy watching the video of that below!
You can also check out older videos of The Liturginerd Olympics and “May God Bless and Keep You” as well as the rest of our site of course. Thanks again for dropping in!
Hello everybody! Boy, did we have a blast at NCCYM in San Antonio this past weekend – we hope you did too. We’re happy to make available to our visitors, absolutely free, our small piece of the Friday Night Youth Ministry Extravaganza, “Songs We Should Never Record.”

We also want to add a special word of thanks to our friend Mike Kivett, who penned the words to “There They Go, Lord.” Mike is a great live audio technician, he helped us with our first couple self-produced CDs, and most importantly is an all around good egg. When he heard some our silly stuff we were asking him to record, he shared with us his little creation, and we’re certainly glad he did. Thanks, Mike!
And thanks as well to the NFCYM for a great conference as always, and great NCYCs the other years. See you next fall in Indy!
PS – A couple people have asked us about the lyrics to the “Stand By Your Man” parody we sang as part of the finale of the night. Those words were written by Bob Rice, here they are:
Sometimes its hard to be a pastor,
Caring for all those ministries.
Absolving all those sins, the roof is caving in,
And the youth room needs a 55 inch flat screen high definition TV.
Stand by your man,
Give him an ear to listen.
It’s hard, he’s always giving,
And you are kind of needy.
Stand by your man,
And even if he’s awkward,
Make him look as cool as you can,
Baby! Stand by your man.

Gracie is not dead.
In response to a comment about Gracie looking dead, I offer this picture of both Gracie and Penny snapped by Orin’s wife Erin earlier today at the bottom of the steps. No, Ricky, they aren’t stuffed either.
