ApostolicBook Entry 1

It’s been a pretty long time since I’ve wrote anything on here, but I thought that since it was a snow day today I would make a post about ApostolicBook. Many of you who are readers of my blog probably know about ApostolicBook and how me and Aaron Ogle and creating it up from nothing. This has been a pretty tough task to do since we’re both not altogether motivated people. But last night we talked on Google Wave (I have 24 invites), and the conversation went along very fast because of how Google Wave is set up. We covered a huge scope of things that we have need to talk about, and now that the conversation is stored we don’t have to remember what we talked about cause all we have to do is go back and look at it, which is completely awesome.

The small version of our color scheme.

One thing that we tried to talk about was the primary colors for our first draft of the layout, but the colors we picked somewhat match but not completely for some reason. All the other colors fit, except for the blue unless it does and I’m not smart enough to realize it.

I’ve started to work on the layout and the design, layout being the coding and design being the thing you do I’m doing in Photoshop. I’m having some trouble getting it to look the way I want to look, but its’ probably some simple thing I’m leaving out or forgot to put in. Hopefully I’ll get it fixed sometime soon or else I’ll be pretty disappointed in myself.

I would give you all a link to view what I’ve done so far, but I don’t want to share it with you since there’s nothing to really see since it’s not looking the way I want it to. I will hopefully post updates to here about it, but if I don’t then that probably means I haven’t gotten very far haha

Good Song?

Here’s just a little interesting thought that came into my head the other day (10/15). I was in second hour taking a test and this person sitting next to me started to sing a song. Of course it was a worldly song, but needless to say I had to bear the fact he was singing a song (and he wasn’t the great of a singer). But then someone sitting next to him chimed in and said, “I was singing that song yesterday and I got a headache, but it’s a good song!” The person that was singing it agreed that it was a good song. I hadn’t heard the song before, so I couldn’t agree or disagree. That then caused me to think, “what makes a song good?”

My mind started to then go over songs that I’ve listened to that I personally thought was good. One of those songs is Toby Mac’s newest single called “City on Our Knees.” It’s one of my favorite songs that he has made. Why do I consider it a good song? Because if you listen to the words and the message in the song, it has an awesome meaning behind it. Also, I like the face that it doesn’t sound like a Toby Mac song at all! Listen to it here and tell me what you think:

Another song that I think is a great song is Jeremy Camp’s song “There Will Be A Day”. I love that song because it has great meaning about how there will be a day where there is no tears, no more burdens, and there will be joy forever more! I love it because it reminds me of what to expect when we get to heaven.

One of the most meaningful songs of this age is “More Beautiful You” by Jonny Diaz! This song means so much because the song writer has recognized the fact that much of young ladies of today are influenced by the horribly skinny “models” of today. They put make-up on, starve themselves, and do anything they can to get unhealthy skinny. This song tells the young lady in the song that she’s very beautiful just the way that she is. That she could never be more beautiful than what she is, without any make-up or anything. I consider this a very good song, especially for all the Apostolic young ladies.

So what do you consider a good song? And how do you consider it that? Do you classify it by the meaning behind the words or the music and instruments? Let me know what you think of the songs I’ve posted. And let me know what songs you think are good!
