Coming Clean
I have come to the realization that I have a problem. I knew I could come here and talk about it and get support and understanding. It seems I am addicted to Petra...I listen to them in my home stereo, portable stereo, and car stereo. My kids seem to be effected now as they are singing to the songs off of Jekyll and Jyde as well as other songs off of other albums.
I prayed and I know I have to be honest with myself about this, can anybody here relate...

Thinking if I could see I would believe, then somebody said Believe and you will see.

yes
Yes we all can relate. I think what has drawn me to them for so many years is I know where their hearts are, unlike most other CCM artists in todays market.

FORGIVE! FORGET! & LET GO!
Yes, hello? My name is Peter and I'm also a Petraholic. It all started way back in the early-80's with "Not of this World." From there I went live with "Captured in Time and Space." I heard the other songs and had to have the other GXV albums. I was saddened when GXV left the band, but recovered once I heard "Back to the Street." Today, I have it all from "Petra" to "J & H." I can't shake Petra. I listen to it on the sterio, on the computer, in the car. Even in my dreams, I swear I can hear the melodic sounds of "Mountains and Valleys" or "Falling Up." I've even wanted to name one of two daughters Petra when they were born, but my wife wouldn't hear of it. Just as well. I started listening to them when I was a young teen and now I am in my 30's and won't give them up. I'm a Pethead and proud of it!

I think you just like every kind of music with the word "metal" in it. Watch out for that last type of metal--sounds like it might be kind of deadly. Just an impression.
I love to listen to Petra too, but I don't listen to them exclusively. They are the best Christian band without question--but it is nice to hear a variety of music. A little blues...some jazz...well, I do live in New Orleans.

Sooooooooo, what does this mean? That we, the Petheads have a proublem (not the one about my spelling) I always thought it was the nonPetheads who had the proublem.
Like I took the boys to see Jeremy Camp last night and I got bord and went to the car and put in JAH. I will not tell you how maney people came to my car to listlen, but they came with there kids too. We all said if Petra was there Buford would realy rock and we would show the snot nosed brats a thing or two.And WE have a proublem? Never.Ever.
And to prove we are just fine my Parrot,Kerment, LOVES JAH. He also likes Lucas McGraw.
Got to go get a fix.... I ment to say turn on the CD player.

Don't worry, I wasn't criticizing Petra. I have a full set of Petra albums (including En Alabanza). They all go for a spin quite frequently. It is not unusual for me to listen to every album in one day. I am a Pethead. I listen to Petra a lot, a whole alot. I was just saying I don't exclusively listen to Petra. I am not saying I listen to everything else either. I only listen to particularly good music. Right now I am listening to Fantasia. See, I listen to lots of stuff, but only the best stuff...like Petra.

I went to school with a named PETRA (it's pronounced PAY-trah)... in fact, her father named a street after her here in town: Petra Lane.I've even wanted to name one of two daughters Petra when they were born, but my wife wouldn't hear of it.
I've always wanted to get a shot of that with John leaning against the street sign, but there never seemed to be enough time.

....
Petra is a perfectly fine name for a female; I've known of a couple of girls named Petra. I don't know that I'd actually go so far as to name my daughter Petra though.
