Songs in the Key of Solomon

When my wife and I were first married, my in-laws let us borrow their copy of Night Light: A Devotional for Couples to do together. Quite quickly we concluded that the devotional was meant for older couples. This made us start searching for a devotional that was fun and even sexual! After some searching, we ended up purchasing Songs in the Key of Solomon: In the Word…and in the Mood by John and Anita Renfroe.

This is the cover of the book when we purchased it. Revisions since have removed the woman and the man from the cover. Poor lonely piano...

Songs in the Key of Solomon is playful, thoughtful, and most of all tries to connect couples at a deeper level. As the title suggests, Songs in the Key of Solomon: In the Word…and in the Mood weaves it’s way through the Biblical book of Song of Solomon (most of the time). At the beginning of each mini-chapter, the daily entry suggests a particular position, place, or action from which to read the entry from. For example, today it suggested that we sit outside our son’s room as we read about how children are a blessing from the Lord. Each chapter also closes with questions for discussion. This morning, one of the questions asked, “what did you enjoy about our lives prior to having children?” Overall, we have enjoyed slowly meandering through this devotional and highly recommend it to others. In fact, we usually give this as a wedding gift. So if your one of our friends who isn’t married, this book is on its way…after ya tie the knot!

Sword & Sworcery

Lately, I have been slowly playing through Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP (link will open iTunes) on the iPad.

The game doesn’t seem so much a game but an experience. The visuals and music blend to create a pretty interesting fantasy world. So far though, I have enjoyed the soundtrack (link will open iTunes) much more than the game. The music is epic, haunting, and overall catchy. I like it. Not sure if this is a game that I will end up recommending but I will for sure recommend it’s soundtrack.
