Ways to Pick the Perfect Wedding Music

Picking just the right music for your wedding day can seem like a daunting task, and quite frankly, it can be. What you really need to do to make sure that this part of planning your wedding doesn't get too overwhelming is to break it up into small chunks of manageable music sets.Processional SongsStart with the beginning of your wedding event - your wedding procession song(s). You will need to select two or three songs for this part of the ceremony. Processional songs will be needed for:
Bridal train (i.e. bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, etc.) entering the church
Bride's church entrance
Groom's church entrance (if he opts not to "enter stage left" and wait at the altar, or if he opts to walk his mother down the aisle)
Processional songs are typically more traditional songs or classical music, and of course, most people are familiar with "Here Comes The Bride". That doesn't mean yours has to be a cookie-cutter wedding though. Nowadays, brides and grooms are choosing to more alternative genres of music. Your wedding is a happy and joyous occasion, so if you and your entire wedding party feel like dancing down the aisle rather than having a solemn procession then by all means, go for it!Unity Candle Ceremony SongsIf you will be lighting a unity candle then here is where you'll want to pick a song that has a "unity" theme. Not everyone has a unity candle ceremony and by no means should you have one if you don't wish to, but if you plan to, then figure in a song for this otherwise your guests will be watching you both light the candle in silence. This part of the ceremony would be a good time to have vocally talented family member, friend, or professional singer do a special live song. Pick wisely.Let's move on to the reception next.Wedding Party Entrance SongsIt's more than likely that the people in your wedding party are thrilled that you and your honey are now officially married. They will probably want to dance for joy... so let them! Pick upbeat songs and songs that will get your guests excited and hyped up too.Consider using music that can be danced to very easily, something catchy so that others at the reception can't help but groove with the bridesmaids and groomsmen.First Dance SongsAll your guests will be looking forward to this one because everyone wants to see the new couple dancing their first dance. Here again, you can choose to go the traditional route by picking a waltz. Or you can choose to go with a modern trend and choreograph an entertaining dance number with modern-day music.Some couples choose to prank their guests by starting out with a waltz or something romantic and slow then pretending that there's a SNAFU with the music then all of a sudden "busting a move" to a hip-hop type song.Mother-Son & Father-Daughter Dance SongsHere's where and when you can (and probably will) get just as mushy as you want to. You may bring the whole reception hall to tears if you pick a particularly sentimental song but naturally that isn't your primary goal. Think about your relationship with the parent you will be dancing with. Are there any songs that adequately express that? Or maybe you want to pick a song that reflects this day of transition from one life phase to another. How about picking a song that shows your gratefulness to your parent for all the sacrifices they made for you, their support, their love, etc.

Over the Range Microwave Ovens

An LG over the range microwave will give you a lot of great features. The company (LG for Life's Good) has revolutionized the microwave. The doors on these microwaves open with ease, their Glide-N-Spin trays cook more evenly and the (first ever) warming lamp will keep your food warm if your significant other, your friend, or your child is running late.The heating effect used by microwaves was discovered accidentally in 1945 by an American engineer from Maine. He was working on an active radar set when he noticed that a peanut chocolate bar that he had in his pocket had begun to melt. This bar had been melted with microwaves. The first food to ever be (deliberately) cooked with microwaves was popcorn. Through trial and error the engineer learned what foods could be cooked and heated with the use of microwaves; he created an oven and he used the microwave heating process (hence the eventual name microwaves for the appliance) and applied for a patent.Actually, the very first microwave was placed in a Boston restaurant for testing and they were finally marketed to the general public in 1952 but they did not sell well (they had a hefty price tag of approximately thirteen hundred dollars) and they were called a Radarange.The microwave as we know it today began to gain in popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, over 90 percent of American homes own a microwave oven. LG was established in 1958 so they have been manufacturing innovative, unique and cutting edge products for a long time. An LG over the range microwave is priced from approximately two hundred dollars to approximately six hundred dollars. They include stylish exteriors and powerful vented airflow systems. Some are made of stainless steel and include humidity sensing technology that adjusts cooking time.An LG over the range microwave includes improved circulation of heat through a top fan and turntable rotation. Some include a low wattage setting making it very easy to soften butter or margarine for baking purposes (or to drizzle onto your popcorn). Some models include a venting system that will remove smoke and odor from your kitchen.LG over the range microwaves vary in size and are ideal for small spaces and for larger kitchens, with some models being capable of preparing larger meals. Some models include Sensor Cook technology and this takes the guesswork out of cooking as it determines when the food is cooked and will automatically turn off the microwave to prevent over or under cooking of meals.The Warming Lamp in some LG over the range microwaves is revolutionizing microwave cooking as it can keep your food warm and ready to eat for up to 90 minutes. Some models include a Glide and Spin which is the option to use a sliding tray that moves side to side or the spinning turntable.LG over the range microwaves are currently offered in approximately ten different models. You can easily search online and learn more about each model's features and capacity to ensure that you will find the model that will work best for your needs. You can also explore online auction sites like Amazon and eBay where you may be able to find one of these innovative microwaves for a bargain price.

Book Review of "Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God" by Francis Chan

Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God [Soft Cover]
By Francis Chan
205 pages, $14.99
ISBN-13: 978-1434768513
David C. Cook
NonfictionIt is refreshing to read a book that directly addresses the problem inherent in Christianity today. Have many who darken the doors of various churches forgotten the central message of Scripture: the Creator of the Universe loves us all with a radical form of love? If church attendees believed that fundamental truth, why does "doing" church seem as if we are merely checking religious boxes and not having any real impact upon the world?The implied lack of impact we have upon the world should shake us from our collective stupor. Francis Chan reminds the church that since life goes by pretty quickly we should be spending time showing God's amazingly crazy love to this world, instead of seeking ways to entertain ourselves. How awesome is it that the one who hung the various galaxies in the skies loves mankind with a love that never diminishes? That is good news a lot of people need to hear.Since the absentee father is becoming an accepted norm: how much impact would radical loving Christians have if they demonstrate that God is a good father? In fact, Jesus' interaction with his father reveals that he viewed God as Dad-since "Abba" means daddy in Aramaic. Sadly, the best earthly example of a father is only a faint cry of the depth of the relationship which God desires to have with all of us. Although many would agree that loving one's children is admirable-Chan asserts that even the depth of love he feels for his children fails to describe the depth of Jesus' love for us.Do our lives reflect the depth of love we have for God? Chan poses the ultimate question: "Do you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything he gives you?" Ouch. Far too many would have to sheepishly admit they love everything God gives them.In a gripping way, Chan levels the boom at the lukewarm in today's church who feel that attending church, giving money, or desiring what is popular is all that is required of today's Christians. If Christians have been infused with this crazy kind of love shouldn't they share their faith? Would Christians who were coming to grips with the depth of God's love abhor sin and not just want to rid of its penalty-but be rid of sin itself? Do Christians too glibly assert, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me" and "trust in the Lord with all your heart" and live as if they do not believe it? Sadly, the author confirms that he is mortified by those in the church who know they are lukewarm and do not want to do anything about it.Francis Chan interacts with Scripture throughout his book to reinforce his message. For example, the author reflects on Jesus' words of warning when he spoke to large crowds accompanying him and advised them to consider the cost of discipleship. In Luke 14:34-35 Jesus indicates, "Salt is good, but if salt loses its flavor, how can its flavor be restored? It is of no value for the soil or for the manure pile; it is to be thrown out. The one who has ears to hear had better listen!" [New English Translation] Chan sums up precisely the point by saying: I'm sure no one really wants to hear Jesus say, "Your life would ruin manure." The book is more than an exhaustive biblical exegesis, however. Chan shares his penchant for humor when he later shares a quip of the same ilk, "A friend of mine once said that Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly."Crazy Love will reinforce the idea that Christianity implies a radical commitment-it is all or nothing when serving God. Once we are included in God's kingdom, the norm should be a remarkable cycle: our prayers for more love result in love, which naturally causes us to pray more, which results in more love...In the church, we are living the poem "Three Dollars worth of God" by Wilbur Rees:I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please.Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep,but just enough to equal a cup of warm milkor a snooze in the sunshine.I don't want enough of God to make me love a black manor pick beets with a migrant.I want ecstasy, not transformation.I want warmth of the womb, not a new birth.I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack.I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please.Crazy Love will grip you from the first few pages and not allow you to be satisfied with a portion of the eternal. After reading this excellent book you have a choice to make: run actively toward Christ or serve God your leftovers.
