Holy Week is just around the corner.

We, as Christians, go through many emotions during this extremely special week. We go through confusion on Maundy Thursday when we take communion just as Jesus did with his disciples, gut-wrenching despair on Good Friday when Jesus was crucified. The sadness continues on Holy Saturday as we yearn for Jesus, and then. pure joy on Sunday when we celebrate His resurrection.

It's an incredible week.

I'm fortunate enough to work at a church where we have a worship service on every day during Holy Week, and you feel every emotion that people feel when you're sitting in the back, taking it all in.

Personally, Easter is my favorite holiday. And worshipping is my favorite thing to do.

I've composed a list of my top 12 favorite songs to sing on Easter Sunday. They're all powerful, no matter what tempo they're at. It doesn't matter if it's slow or fast, the message gets across, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

I feel in this day and age that we don't focus on our worshipping outside of church, and I definitely fall into that category. Sometimes I'm so busy with school and other commitments that I forget to dedicate just a little time singing to Jesus. As Psalm 95:1 says, "let us sing to the LORD, let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Praising God is one of the most important things we could do, and in this oh so special week of Holy Week, all I want to do is sing.

So without further ado, here are my top 12 favorite songs to sing on Easter:

1. "He Has Won" -- Vertical Church Band

2. "In Christ Alone" -- Passion

3. "Death Was Arrested" -- Northpoint

4. "Build Your Kingdom Here" -- Rend Collective

5. "Resurrecting" -- Elevation Worship

6. "Glorified" -- Jared Anderson

7. "Only Wanna Sing" -- Hillsong Young & Free

8. "Spirit of the Living God" -- Vertical Church Band

9. "Great I AM" -- New Life Worship

10. "Multiplied" -- NEEDTOBREATHE

11. "He is Jesus" -- Northpoint

12. "Fix My Eyes" -- For King and Country

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
