Hey fellow bloggers! First off I want to thank everyone for supporting our blog, but we have an emergency. Apparently our little blog has been getting quite a bit of attention lately. Everywhere we went at GMA week, people were asking how our record label conned us in to start blogging because that must explain why it has gotten so big. Each time I politely respond by telling them it was myspace we got conned into, our blog is 100% pure MercyMe.
So my fellow bloggers, we need your help. Since there are those who think we are surely not doing this on our own, we want to blow this blog up huge! We want to show the power of “the Fan.” All we are asking is for you to tell your friends about the MM blog. We are putting all of our efforts, or fruits of our labor if you will, into this blog. The more feedback we get from you, the bigger we are going to try and make this thing.
So… tell your friends… tell your enemies… tell them all
The only place to get a hearty helping of 100% grade A, reduced fat (I am on a diet), no preservatives added, organic, whole wheat MercyMe is at www.MercyMe.org/blog.
Thank you for your time and God bless America.

Here are a few recurring things we are planning for the future:
“By Request Only”
MercyMe will attempt to perform songs requested by you. As long as it is clean, we will try to cover it. Should make for good comedy.“The Order of The Thumb”
This is where we will review movies, music etc.“More of Bart’s award winning interviews”
See a conversation with Aaron Shust.More live shows streamed only for our blog readers.
Just think, you can avoid all those long lines at the actual show…please don’t though.Dance Lessons with Barry
Hey Barry if this is the first time you are finding out about this, don’t worry. You will be awesome!

April 25th, 2008 at 4:02 pmUh oh. “CONNED you into blogging…” don’t let Brody see that phrase! LOL
I’ve already started sharing this with the folks I know and will continue to do so. It is fantastic and (as we talk about on Brody’s blog often) it is part of changing the face of the Christian music industry, which is SO exciting! Keep up the good work - all for Him.
Oh - I would like to see that friendly little green Share This Widget at the bottom of each post. Makes it super easy to pass you Mercy Men around to more folks, ya know?
We’re praying for you (and your families) and loving what the Lord has done through your obedience to His calling. Keep it up fellas.

April 25th, 2008 at 4:54 pmI like all the things you have planned for the future especially the “By Request Only”.
Its funny that you listed this one because I had just told my niece that I wish you would do a song by Journey. It had been on my mind since the Jackson concert when you sang “I Won’t Back Down”. I have heard you sing a song by Phil Collins and U2 before. And then after you sang the Tom Petty song last weekend I had thought about asking if you would do one by Journey. So, I know I will be requesting one when you add it to the blog. I’ll just need to decide which song I would like to request for you to sing.

April 25th, 2008 at 11:46 pmFor sure, I’ll tell everyone I know. Heck, I’ll even tell people I don’t know. Even those grouchy old people you find yourself frequently running into. I’m sure A few words from Bart will have them laughing. Hope this blog gets big for you guys. When it does please remember me as one of your “first” readers. J/K
But a quick shout out would be nice. Something like “Thanks to all my first readers who had a huge part in the success of this blog, especially are favorite reader “Just A Passer By.”Just sayin.

April 26th, 2008 at 7:19 pmThis is my first visit to your blog and I’m glad I stopped by. You should have heard me laughing when I watched the video Bart did with Aaron Shust. You guys have quite the sense of humor. Thanks to Melody for sharing the blog with me. I’m lovin’ it! (sorry to use the whole Mcdonald’s “catch phrase” there but I couldn’t think of anything more clever….)I live in Missouri but trust me, I’m going to follow every Hunter green Ford expedition I see. Ya never know they might take a joy ride to MO. HEY! It could happen!

April 27th, 2008 at 5:53 amAmanda: LOL - ok don’t take this wrong or get mad - but my nickname for Missouri is “Misery”. You’re laughing, right? Anyway, the company my husband works for is based there. He had to travel there in November and I teased him the whole time he was gone. We live in Florida. I kept asking him, “how’s the weather in Misery”. LOL! I hope you’re laughing.
