Absolutely. I think I mentioned this to Cathy as we were driving around 
having our "Heyday" weekend - that I really noticed how different and somehow 
more mature (not entirely sure this is the right word) AENT is. It's a 
progression - not only in terms of sound, musical abilities, lyrics, etc. but 
obviously in terms of the guys' lives - especially Steve's as his lyrics 
dominate the CD. Thank God it doesn't sound like Heyday - I mean, haven't we 
all progressed and grown in our own lives over the last 17 years? I would 
hope so! I don't even know who the 18 year old Denise was anymore. I remember 
her, with a little nostalgia and lot of embarrassment sometimes, but so much 
has happened to me in these past 17 years - who hasn't had major life events 
happen? I haven't always been thrilled with everything the Church has done 
since Heyday but at least they haven't totally stagnated and become stale 
hacks regurgitating the same sound/songs over and over again.

Denise (who is for some reason doubting the spelling of some of those words 
but is too lazy to get out the dictionary or spell check today)
