Every summer as a child, August was devoted to family vacations. My family packed everything into their blue station wagon, heading off to Maine for 3-4 weeks. This meant long car rides, anywhere between 6-9 hours depending upon traffic. Over the years, Dick Clark and then Casey Kasem would pass the time by listening to the radio playing America’s Top 40 songs of the week.
Yet, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand, Isaiah 64:8.
Beginning with their debut album in 1995, listening to Jars of Clay reminds me of those summer car rides listening to music all day long. Jars of Clay’s second album, Much Afraid combines soft rock with upbeat inspirational music. Due to their popularity, Jars of Clay crossed over to reach secular audiences in their later years. If you like top 40 music, you’ll enjoy listening to Jars of Clay this week.
