Ahh Deanna, you are always so gracious to me.  Thanks for the high compliments on this stuff.    I agree, we gotta hang out sometime and chit chat for sure....  When I was reading what you said about "Acquire the Fire" I thought about the fact that we were not allowed to even listen to "Christian Rock" music in youth group, because it would offend the adults.

I am not talking about Rez Band or Petra or Newsboys, I am talking about Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith.  Why, you might ask?  Because it had drums in the music, and drums were "of the devil."

Being the little Christian rebels that we thought we were, we would blast that stuff out of our car radios when the adults were not looking.   I took a girl to a Rez Band (a Christian Heavy metal Band) concert one time who was from my church and we told her parents it was a Christian music concert, failing to mention it was what it was, but had they known they would have forbade her from going with me. 

What a world ey?  I hear what you are saying about the official stamp of approval as well,  even when there is no "official" one, there was always the mere opinion of some church leaders that viciously seemed to over-ride most serious and legitimate minded individuals.  Those folks used things like gossip (in the form of prayer requests) to keep the sheep in line...
