Server Migration Complete!   I'm giving God the praise for ALR's smooth migration to provide our listeners with a more stable listening experience. I'm sure you noticed the difference if you've listened since July 8th.   Now, the only time you'll hear the "Awwww, ma-a-a-a-a-an! You got disconnected from Altared Lives Radio-o-o-o-o-o!" message will be for scheduled maintenance and software updates! (Lord willing!)   Give Jesus a crazy praise fam!

It's Official - Artist "Home" Links   Completing the transition to the more stable server afforded me the opportunity to do 2 things that will also enhance the ALR experience:   Purged the playlist of about 500 songs, to give a tighter more consistent sound to the station, and   Replaced all the artist Home links with a link at the Holy Hip Hop Database. You will find madd information in the data at hhhdb for many more artists than at our previous link.   Holy Hip Hop Database - Celebrating the 4th? (The brothas are in Denmark or somewhere...)

Poll - Have Gas Prices Affected Your Driving or Eating Habits?     This month's poll is seriously serious. The vast majority of respondents said that gas prices have affected their lifestyles to some degree.   72% Yes |28% No   That's real, fam. We need to pray that we'll be protected "in the famine." Remember, David said, "I was young, and now I'm old; never have I seen the righteous foresaken, nor his seed begging bread.   I thank God personally, as a testimony, that He is a Provider. I was thinking recently how many meals I have eaten that somebody else gave me -- food that someone else paid for.   One thing about famines, though -- that's when Jacob sowed and was blessed. At ALMs, we look to the gifts and seeds of others to continue to bless countless souls with theWord of God via ALR and other ministry via the web site. I saw a listener logged onto ALR from Iraq the other day -- possibly was a soldier over there. God bless 'em!   When you give, you affect lives on the real, fam. So in this time of famine, remember ALMs and ALR. You will bless someone else, and provide for your own blessing directly from the hand of God during these tough times.

Truly Outta Ya Dome! A Word 2 The Wise The other day, I was listening to the first commercial release (I believe) by Dawkins & Dawkins. It contained a song called "Outta Ya Mind" on it. As I enjoyed the music and trek to back in the day, that particular song touched me because I am quite frequently amazed at some of the unwise things that saints do. Unwise, naive, er... those are the kindest terms I can think of. I was telling a friend recently that the Bible says in Proverbs, "Wisdom cries... in the streets..." (Prov. 1:20). I told him wisdom is crying in the streets because saints won't invite her into their homes -- so she has to scream out in the streets. Still, too many aren't listening or ignore her. Invite wisdom into your homes & hearts, fam! Be open to teaching and instruction -- and wisdom! Your Giving Helps Keep Us Online ALMs is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 tax-exempt ministry.
