Refreshing

As my children have gotten older it has been difficult to find them modest clothing, good television(is that an oxymoron?) and wholesome music. In a world of clothing that shows belly buttons and cleavage on girls barely out of diapers it has been a struggle for sure. In a world of music and video that has swear words I hadn't even heard yet, words that would make a sailor, or in my case, a Marine Corps veteran, blush, it has also been a struggle to find good music. In a world that has young girls literally worshiping Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus, we have tried hard to steer our girls away from that.

Recently we discovered a couple of musical groups that have us wanting to tell the world about them.

PureNRG is a trio of tweens that can sing and dance to the delight of any tween girl. A group of two gals and a guy, they sing a lot of older, clean but fun songs like "Footloose" and have a few of their own as well. They have some Christian music and are moving into more worship songs as well. Jordan, the guy of the trio has this to say about their newest album, "“Here We Go Again” opens with the buoyant title track, a high-energy tune with a catchy chorus that is an instant sing along. “Any Which Way” continues the good time vibe, and Jordan cites it among his favorites on the album. “It’s saying to give yourself to God and to let Him take you wherever He wants you to go, and that’s what we do.” As a mom, I find myself excited about these energetic kids.


The Rubyz is made up of three young ladies aged 13-17 whose name comes straight from the book of Proverbs-"A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies." -Proverbs 31:10. Their first album came out this past April and their goal is to fill a void in the mainstream media. to tell young ladies that they are valuable and that it is ok to be young and there is no hurry to grow up faster than God desires, that it is good to act and dress your age.

I hope if you have any young children, and even if you don't, you can get your hands on one or more of the albums put out by these adorable kids.
