The genre known as "contemporary Christian music" gets a bad rap. Their "cutting edge" artists are posed in magazines trying desperately to look hip, and critics tend to label the aforementioned "edge" as a few years behind the secular counterpart. And then there's the usual canard about being too "preachy." (Well, they are, kinda...)
Some are worthy of recommendation, even at the behest of sophisticated palates like... well, moi! From a mention at The Dawn Patrol comes an artist named Brandon Heath, who has a story to tell, and a video which is the compilation of kindred spirits. For my money, he could just let the song and the video tell it, instead of spending more than a third of this clip talking about it. If you agree, skip the part before 03:43 and after 00:49, and enjoy an excellent -- and not overly "preachy" if you don't count the obligatory scriptural reference -- piece of work.
He gets better. Click below to learn more. Tell him some guy in a Black Hat sent you (and that I don't do this for just anybody).

Okay, I looked. The only thing that stood out was The Word of the Day, editorialist. In particular, its use in a sentence: "He grew so weary of armchair-general editorialists that he stopped reading the Op-Ed pages altogether and picked up a book on political theory."
You were thinking of something else maybe?
