The following are five different contemporary Christian musicians or bands that are under-appreciated for their talent.


1. Allen Asbury

Allen Asbury first showed up on the music scene with his debut of "Somebody's Praying Me Through." In 2003 his song was used as the theme song for the Presidential Prayer Team as well as the National Day of Prayer. He was recognized by heavyweight Billboard Magazine as "the arrival of a major new talent" and often praised for his jovial outlook on life.

2. Annie Moses Band

The Annie Moses Band played here on Asbury's campus this past September in Hughes Auditorium. The band is made up of a family including not only the six siblings but their father on piano and mother playing the role of manager. Their music is a fun mix of classical, jazz, folk, and Americana music that they managed to combine in many beautiful ways. The group has recorded not only 12 albums, but 5 live DVDs. They also host the Fine Arts Summer Academy on Lipscomb University Campus in Nashville, Tennessee.

They were featured in the Family Values Tour 2006, Soundwave Festival, and Family Value Tour 2007. In 2008 they took a break due to a problem with the lead singer's voice. They reunited in 2009 and produced many more songs. The original lead singer is no longer with the band due to her having children, but the band still performs today.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
