Between The Lines: Top Ten Albums Of The Decade... 2004 Keane:: Hopes And Fears
http://aldisalvatore.blogspot.com/2009/12/top-ten-albums-of-decade-2004-keane.html
Saturday, December 26, 2009. Top Ten Albums Of The Decade. 2004 Keane: Hopes And Fears. Even the 90's had a revival of sorts with Green Day's American Idiot, an epic punk-rock opera ala The Who. Gwen Stephani of No Doubt debuted her solo effort with a music fusion of pop, hip-hop, and reggie sounds in Love, Angel, Music, Baby. Gwen is cool, Lady Gaga notsomuch. What a year for great music, it reminds me of the year 1991, with such creativity and diversity. Saturday, December 26, 2009. You enjoy an engagi...

Between The Lines: I HATE YOUTH PASTORS!
http://aldisalvatore.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-hate-youth-pastors.html
Friday, May 4, 2012. I HATE YOUTH PASTORS! I've seen a trend. It was a perception I felt as a youth pastor. It is a reality that seems to be true now as a lead pastor. Maybe HATE is a strong word. Maybe MISUNDERSTOOD is more palatable. At times I see a lack of respect. A total distaste for youth ministry. There is an analogy that runs in circles that Pastors are like coaches. And coaches hire and fire their staff at will. Assistant coaches are just cogs in a larger machine, replaceable. We are excited to...

Between The Lines: December 2012
http://aldisalvatore.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Soundtracking the Bible Part VIII: Zephaniah - Malachi. The last four books of the Old Testament are often over looked by the most popular four books of the entire bible, the Gospels. Themes that close out minor prophets are just as important then as they are now. Dealing with issues of injustice, corrupt leaders, and money. The subjects addressed are layered in prophecy and judgement but God's truth and faithfulness still shine through. The book of Haggai is a spiritual fork-...

Between The Lines: A Drought Resistant Church Plant
http://aldisalvatore.blogspot.com/2012/06/drought-resistant-church-plant.html
Friday, June 29, 2012. A Drought Resistant Church Plant. Recently following a VCC service a hip couple gave me a most unusual and most inspiring gift, a Cactus. They explained it was drought resistant, like VCC. A drought resistant church plant. I love a good pun. They also gave me a letter and usually in my experience a letter from someone in your church is never a good thing, but this letter was different. This letter was map. Three key landmarks for VCC to follow. 1 Planting Take Patience. 2 Nourishin...

Between The Lines: Free Fallin' & Church Plantin'
http://aldisalvatore.blogspot.com/2012/04/free-fallin-church-plantin.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Free Fallin and Church Plantin. It's like reaching the peak of a roller coaster one link at a time and then. It's like stepping inside the batter's box adjusting your swing and then. It's like jumping out of an airplane and there is no going back. It's like church planting. The day was a success, but now the reality is hitting me in the face at over 100 mph. I feel like Jerry Maguire stepping out of the comforts of his job and into the dream of the unknown. I am Free Fallin'.

Between The Lines: Interview With Author Jason Boyett
http://aldisalvatore.blogspot.com/2010/06/interview-with-author-jason-boyett.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. Interview With Author Jason Boyett. One of my favorite new authors and Christian satire personality is Jason Boyett. I am big fan of his "Pocket Guide." series for his fresh and comedic take on the Christian culture. If you mix together some Johnathan Stewart and Anderson Cooper you would get Jason Boyett. He is funny and informative without being forced and contrived, a hard task for a Christian these days. So it wasn't something deliberate like "I need to take my writing in a new...

the other emily: hello handsome
http://the-other-emily.blogspot.com/2011/09/hello-handsome.html
September 19, 2011. Necklace - Anthropologie / jacket - Forever 21 / striped shirt - thrifted / overdyed skinnies - Zara / watch - Arkanoplatz flea market, Berlin / loafers - vintage Bass, thrifted / yellow dog - American Lab Rescue. I'm sorry for the major photo-overload today - but can you blame me with this handsome guy by my side? I think he was honestly pretty bored by the whole procedure, but I did manage to encourage some goofy faces out of him ( and, ahem, myself. With a little ear-scratching.

Between The Lines: July 2012
http://aldisalvatore.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 18, 2012. Soundtracking the Bible Part VII Obadiah- Habakkuk. The minor prophets can easily be over looked in the shadow bible legends like Isaiah and Jeremiah, but the roots of these treasures go deep. This collection of works also called "Book of the Twelve" or Hebrew Trai Asar (The Twelve) is often studied together. The first six books raise questions and the final six offer resolution. 30 Obadiah- What's So Funny ('Bout Peace Love and Understanding): Elvis Costello. And as i walked on.
