Top 100 Songs, Second Edition

Just to avoid getting flack from relatives, I thought it was time for another picture of Matthew. This is how he looked when I told him that I was about to post Songs 75-51. He was pretty stoked.
Okay, pretty much only family will remember our story about Matthew's first words being a very sarcastic, "Okay," that surprised the heck out of us. He recently did something reminiscent of that. We were in the car coming back from a college group event at our friends, the Harrises. It was late, and he was very sleepy in the car. All of the sudden we hear him perfectly enunciate, "Oh dear." We laughed so hard. He had no idea what he said, but it was one of those times when the intonations and random syllables lined up. Some of his newest real words/phrases are, "No more," "family," and "sorry."
Here are songs 75-51. And, as Dave pointed out, there is no separation of the sacred and the secular on the list except at one point. There are no "worship songs," a.k.a. songs that were written for the purpose of corporate worship. They are all performance songs. Let me know if these bring back any memories for you.

Ah yes! Coldplay! There is something that was recorded in my lifetime! ;) Actually, I'm diggin your taste in music, for the most part.

So you’re telling me Matthew hasn't continued to use the word "Doctrine" in everyday life?
