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: Moriah Peters!  Moriah Peters is the lovely wife of Joel Smallbone. She is an amzing and very talented christian artist. Moriah has a dizzying array of hairstyles just like her husband. Sometimes its long and white, other times its short and brown. And at unexpected times its long and brown or short and white. Moriah is really pretty and encouraging. She and Joel saved their first kiss for their wedding day, and she explained why. "Well, this is something that God told me to save, I felt  Him pulling on me and saying "Just wait." so I listened.". As she explained, she likes to put God first in her life over her own desires, I don't know about y'all, but I think she's an inspiration like her husband and his brother.  Moriah's full name is Moriah Castillo Peters. She has a lovely older sister named Bianca. Moriah's song Brave is an inspirational masterpiece, along with her song You Carry Me, both are heartfelt and powerful songs. Moriah and Joel make a cute couple and have a kitty name Adalina. Here's the link to Brave Moriah Peters - Brave (Official Lyric Video) - YouTube  Peace Out!

Lyssa's Log: Joel Smallbone! Joel Smallbone is the oldest brother in the band for King & Country. My favorite band! Joel is married to the christian hit singer Moriah Peters. Joel and Moriah got married in July 2013 and have been happily married since. Joel is known for his dizzying array of hairstyles, for instance, his hair was long and curly, almost completely shaved and now is long and curly on one side of his head. It looks really good though. Joel is a really awesome guy, he speaks with a kind heart and he speaks of a woman's worth, He and his brother Luke believe that a woman is priceless, that she is worth more than all the money in the world. They have a song entitled Priceless and it has got to be my favorite song by far. Joel and Luke are the younger brothers of Rebecca St. James. They were born in Wahroonga Australia and moved here when Joel was 7 and Luke was 5. So Joel has a stronger Australian accent than Luke. Joel can amp up his accent and sound really Australian and he can pretty much make it disappear! He can sound totally American and you wouldn't be able to tell that he's Australian. Here's the link to their song Priceless Priceless by for KING & COUNTRY (Lyrics) - YouTube  Peace Out!
