The Pressures of Prom
by David R. Smith
5/6/2013

If being a teenager wasn’t difficult enough…enter prom season.

Long gone are the days of the simple, innocent dance reserved for high school juniors and seniors. Over the years, this annual event has undergone lots of evolution, putting pressure on everyone involved. For starters, the price tag is going (way) up. According to Visa, the average family will shell out roughly $1,139 for all the costs associated with prom this year.

That’s a lot of pressure being put on parents, many of whom are still feeling the pinch of a weak economy. But they’re not the only ones feeling the heat.

JONATHAN'S BLOG: Win a Free Crowder CD
Jonathan McKee I don’t know about you… but I love me some David Crowder. If I’m having a conversation about Christian worship, then you are going to hear me say the words “David Crowder.”

That’s why I was so truly psyched to hear that the David Crowder Band will be releasing their final Greatest Hits record, ‘The Essential Collection’ next week (May 21). It will include 10 of the bands biggest hits, 3 all-new remixes, and a brand new song by just Crowder himself. Check out the iTunes preview HERE.

Celebrating this release, I’m going to give away 5 CDs… one each to five of my blog readers. Simply use my comment feature stating where you live and your favorite Crowder song by far.

How’s that for simple?

I’ll randomly draw five winners and post them right here next week.
