The Petra Zone

Here are a couple of links to stories on CNN.com about a guy named Nick Charles. A lot of you may not be into sports like I am (or old enough), so you may or may not remember him. He and a guy named Fred Hickman were sportscasters on CNN in the 80s and they were terrific. And pretty good looking! An...

Duh...last time I checked, his daughter Kari was a female.

Thanks for the "heads-up". I'll even not watch the Orielly Factor for one night just so I can see John do some Christmas stuff. Does that make me a pinhead, or a patriot? Patriot, especially since you can bet that close to Christmas, Bill won't be working. :) Sue, what other two songs will John do?

Did it ever occur to any of you that they are using the term "Classic" Petra has more to do with time? Old cars and TV shows are called "classic." The same term would have worked if Hough, Degroff, Bob, et al had put together a tour. But speaking of John, I think we should start a campaign to get hi...

Here's all I know about those demos: http://www.petrafiles.com/petraspective/schlitt00.html I recall that John wasn't very happy that these demos left the studio. It was also a quality issue. John didn't feel the quality of those songs or the recordings were of a good enough standard to release. It...

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. -- Crystal Cathedral, the megachurch birthplace of the televangelist show "Hour of Power," filed for bankruptcy Monday in Southern California after struggling to emerge from debt that exceeds $43 million. In addition to a $36 million mortgage, the Orange County-based church owes...

I posted a request from Petra's manager to put an rs feed on the zone, Daniel answers that this is our zone, P-freak says he likes the idea, next thing I know the thread is removed, with no explanation. I thought I could help promote anything Petra related here, and I think I have been respectful h...

Broadcast TV has probably outlived its usefulness, given the internet's ubiquity and accessibility. Broadcast TV has probably outlived its usefulness, given the internet's ubiquity and accessibility. Not if the majority of things you watch are sports and news. I have little use for most broadcast s...

Anyone going to the Mooresville concert? I'm planning to go and possibly bringing 5 people with me, 4 of whom have never seen John before. I'm not too thrilled about sitting out on the asphalt parking lot, cuz it's bound to be hot, but what are ya gonna do? I noticed that John is scheduled to be at ...

What? No one has picked Lucas McGraw????

But, Shell, Greg would never have sung "Keep on Lovin You" because Kevin wrote it. That is why it is stupid to consider what REO would have been like with Greg singing because Kevin was such a big part of their success from a songwriting standpoint. He may not be the best true singer in the world, b...

Athens, IL -- wanted to go but can't make it.

Cincinnati on June 6th -- Yep, planning on being there.

Wow, the tour is starting in Louisville! That is impressive to me since Louisville is not exactly a hotbed of CCM activity. I will be really interested to find out the location in Louisville.

RE: Divorce -- In my opinion, the reason there are so many divorces today are because like everything else in our culture, people don't have the patience to wait before they marry in the first place. What is really a bummer though is that a lot of so-called Christians see divorce and see sin and sta...
