Dove Award-nominated rocker Krystal Meyers has spent much of 2006 gracing the covers of magazines (Nylon Magazine Japan, Bounce Magazine, Brio Magazine), appearing on television (MTV Japan, The Logan Show), and taking her music halfway around the world, to Japan. Now Meyers is taking her music to prime-time as her song “Together,” from her second album Dying For A Heart, is scheduled to be used by NBC to promote its new, hit drama “Heroes” via television and radio spots over the coming weeks. “Heroes” airs Mondays on NBC at 9 PM ET.

“I am so excited that NBC selected my song, ‘Together,’ to be a part of their new show, ‘Heroes’,” comments an excited Krystal Meyers. “As soon as my record label told me I freaked out! It's an awesome opportunity and I am very thankful for it.”

Since the release of her self-titled debut on Essential Records (2005), eighteen year-old Krystal Meyers has garnered a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year, landed the #1 spot on general market radio in Japan (“Anticonformity”), had five Top 10 singles in the U.S. (“The Way To Begin,” “My Savior,” “Anticonformity,” “Fire,” and “Collide”), and performed before more than 400,000 people. Dying For A Heart, the second record from Meyers, landed in stores September 2006.

I seem to be suffering from a minor case of “writer’s blog”…my own self diagnosis.  It always seems to happen right around the same time…moments before my blog is due.  Maybe a little Waking Ashland can remedy this…ah, that's better!  Now where was I?  This week has been pretty tumultuous as far as current events go.  There is obviously unrest in a multitude of nations being ravaged by war, the one most televised being Israel and Hezbollah.  Twenty-four terrorist were arrested in London, a preemptive strike to keep them from blowing up passenger airliners as they land on U.S. soil.  And even David Beckham won’t be returning to the England national team!  I am not sure which story is getting more coverage in England right now.  All such issues force us to put our hope in something greater or crumble under the fear of the unexpected.  I say put your faith in something greater!  Enjoy the life around you…pray for those in conflict and rejoice with those who rejoice.  If you want to do something, try to make life better for those around you!  Share with them your wisdom.  Listen to their experiences.  Cry when they cry.  People are the only thing that carry over into eternity; no other effort has that lasting ramification.  We know we have a greater purpose, and that is to love one another!  My charge for the week…try to love someone who does not share my perspective because loving someone who loves you back is easy and expected, but to share love with someone who wouldn’t love you back is to be Christ like.
