Lyssa's Log: WINTER JAM!!!!! I experienced my first Winter Jam on March 13, 2016 at the Tulsa BOK center! The bands were: We Are Messengers, New Song, Matthew West, Crowder, Lauren Daigle, Red, Sidewalk Prophets, Stars Go Dim, KB-Tedashii-Trip Lee and for King & Country. In my opinion, for King & Country was the best! Red shot fire, Matthew West shot confetti, Crowder played Cotton-eyed Joe and for King & Country was still the most amazing! I am still amazed by some of the little, yet so important things. Like: Joel Smallbone of for King & Country placed his hand on mine and called me love, his brother Luke walked right past me, Luke's line in every performance of It's Not Over Yet "I never knew Tulsa Oklahoma had so much swagger!". I just love these little moments that I will cherish for years. How many Winter Jams have you been to? Which was your favorite band/pairing in that year's line up? Speaking of Winter Jam, Who went to see the new Winter Jam movie? I can't wait! It's called This Is Winter Jam with special guests like Colton Dixon, Tony Nolan and more! I enjoyed the Winter Jam experience, and these bands made it so special, and going with my friends and family made it so much better. I'm sad to see A-Z come to an end, so lets make these last few letters count. Peace Out Y'all!

Lyssa's Log: Priceless. Priceless is my favorite song in the entire music industry ever! It was written by christian pop band, for King & Country. They are my favoritest band. The brothers in the band are Joel and Luke Smallbone. Priceless is about the worth of a woman,"Part of the DNA of for KING & COUNTRY is this idea of respect and honor in relationships and women being priceless," Joel said in a press release. "What we've both found in our beliefs as men is that people are made equal. No one is a commodity and everyone deserves to be loved and loved well." "The best legacy I can leave is if I am a good dad and good husband. If my family environment was out of whack, I don't know if I'd even be able to write songs anymore," said Luke. They have a necklace with an Australian one cent coin in it, declaring that women are priceless, and that men should treat them that way. They have a bracelet that says Respect and Honor on it. As Joel said "The respect and honor bracelets are a sign to men saying "Women are priceless, count me in, I wanna be a part of this movement, chivalry is not dead."".  The chorus of Priceless is simply this: I see you dressed in white, every wrong made right. I see a rose in bloom, at the sight of you, Oh so PRICELESS. Its a very moving and building song. I don't know about y'all, but this song definitely builds my self-esteem. The whole PRICELESS movement is amazing. The Smallbone brothers have a movie coming out soon entitled PRICELESS, the main character in the movie is Joel and Luke is the director. Moriah Peters' sister Bianca also stars in the movie. Here's the link to Priceless, I suggest taking a look at the necklace and bracelets. Priceless by for KING & COUNTRY (Lyrics) - YouTube Peace Out!

Lyssa's Log: Happy birthday to my youngest brother Xander! He's turning 8 today! For his birthday, I've gotten him a teddy bear with stripes, we decided to name it Bearjamin, Bearjamin Backus. Benjamin Backus is the cello player from my favorite band, so we decided to name it Bearjamin. Its an adorable bear, can't wait to give it to him. Next week we will go camping in celebration of his birthday. Birthdays are fun, for mine, I got to teach a portion out of the Bible in front of my friends and family. My adorable friend Lilly just turned 5 and had a birthday party at the Tulsa zoo. My friend Brooklynn is having a rainbow unicorn party in a few weeks. I'm getting her a rainbow bear named Teddy-dashii. Tedashii is her favorite rapper, so I will name it Teddy-dashii. So, help me wish my adorable, weird and ever so slightly crazy brother a happy birthday. He will be super excited to get happy birthday wishes. And to everyone who is having a birthday, or you know someone with a birthday coming up, tell them Lyssa says to have a great one! Peace Out!
