[Verse 1]
When did this old house start feeling empty?
Did I lose track of the time?
Its wailing walls call out to meet me
But I still say I’m fine
Over this winter break, I got to spend a lot of time with family and friends during the holiday season. It was a great experience and I loved getting to catch up with everyone. A big family means that times we are all together for extended periods are becoming less and less common, meaning I’m learning more and more each time I come home the value of family.
I’ve been working on making these Christian Creatives posts that highlight Christian artists that I believe are using their creativity to highlight the creativity of God, and I realized I had almost forgotten to highlight all of the amazing and creative Christmas music that is out there.
So here we go!

You know it’s finals
When you live off of stale chips
And Mountain Dew. Help!

I’ve listened to his music literally my whole life, and have always enjoyed his succinct and poetic lyrics, as well his penchant for tuning his guitar in the wackiest of ways.
So without further ado, let’s talk about Andy Gullahorn.
In a world that (I believe) is lacking in Christian contemporary music that is also creative and vibrant, I have been working to highlight different artists that I believe are using their creativity to help further the Kingdom of God. I’ve already covered one artist, and now I want to focus on one that is probably a little less known: Remedy Drive.
His graven hands go offering life from Death
who thought Christ took more than He could bear.
Death rejoiced at the sound of the hammer’s clang
of the nail into the wood as the Son of God sang,
“Eloi! Eloi!” and it leaves us wond’ring to where
