Anybody out there still Jabez-ing it?
Remember the Prayer of Jabez? What ever happened to that?
See, these are the kinds of things I think about in a given day...

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Anybody out there still Jabez-ing it?:
The Rolling Stones: Shine a Light: Original Soundtrack
This is what a live album SHOULD sound like. Unedited, unfixed - just a good recording of what happened that night... (****)
Mudcrutch: Mudcrutch
Tom Petty and Mike Campbell reunite with their old band and forge an instant classic. (****)
Counting Crows: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings
It was pretty gutsy to lay it out the way they did: all the rockers on the "Saturday Night" section and all the ballads on the "Sunday Morning" side. But it works, and in a major way. Some of the best guitar work I've heard in recent memory. (*****)
The Black Crowes: The Lost Crowes
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME ABOUT THIS RECORD?! You've heard most of these songs on other records, but it's just so raw and band-y here. Fall in love with the best band in the world all over again... (*****)
Pillar: For The Love Of The Game
So far this is the album to beat for the rock album of 2008 in the Christian market... The title track has kind of been my "theme song" the last couple of months. (*****)
Maylene and the Sons of Disaster: II
The perfect blend of Southern rock and metal - this is my favorite album right now. (*****)
Kevn Kinney: Broken Hearts & Auto Parts
I picked this up in Athens the other day. It starts out a little slow, but turns into vintage Kevn Kinney/Drivin n Cryin. This is as good as anything he/they have ever put out! (****)
The Black Crowes: Warpaint
If you look up "killer" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of these guys.
Baroness: Red Album
So far the most original and inspiring music I've heard this year... (*****)
Down: Down - Over The Under
This is easily the most rockin' records I've ever owned. It's like redneck Soundgarden. Heaven for a dude like me... (*****)
Demon Hunter: Storm the Gates of Hell
Don't let the "metalcore" label fool you. This album features some of the biggest and hookiest choruses you'll ever hear. "Lead Us Home", "Carry Me Down", and "Thorns" are great examples. Plus I think they'll give you your money back if the title track doesn't make your ears bleed :) (*****)
I've wondered this myself... maybe you should launch a "bringing back the Jabez" campaign?
"I'm Bringing Jabez Back!"

My guess is that like all things with bad theology, it eventually just dies.

You and I both seem to think out of the square and about various 'weird' things....but if I were to have a blog and jot down my various thoughts, I doubt anyone would be interested....LOL

I'm not sure what ever happened to Jabez - but now everytime I meet someone named Jay I call them Jay-bez - such as my minister and friend Jay Hanson.

Believe it or not, I have a coin with the prayer of Jabez on it in my pocket. I don't remember the last time I actually read it.

Jabez-ing. That's funny.
I never Jabez-ed, but some of my friends did in high school.
