Just haven't wanted to post much lately… Have let the current national climate get the best of me, it seems. Tonight, though, on the way home from my daughter's house, I heard this first song on a station. I immediately clicked on Shazam, but it came up empty! What the…!! Then a voice came onContinue reading “Milk Carton Kids”

Happy birthday, Daddy! Missing you so much…  This was one of the songs I included in my father's memorial video.  I'd asked the grandkids to give me a song that reminded each of them of their grandpa. Katie gave me this one. It was the last song in the video.  Seemed appropriate… There's no oneContinue reading “Hear You Me”

Crazy year… emotions all over the board… A granddaughter was born this year… a new beginning.  I hang on to that as I remember how the year has passed (read "election year").  To say it's been hard… understatement.   I can't be too morose, too maudlin… I have beautiful babies to love on and whoContinue reading “Auld Lang Syne”

I shared this song last year as I was dealing with the death of my father and the deaths of two other close friends. They all died within the space of a few weeks and I was sucker-punched by it. I may even say I'm still dealing with the aftermath… All of that and thisContinue reading “A Long December”

I love Christmas. I love the music, the lights, the colors, the festivities that are tied to the season. It's a season of merriment and joy! But then again… it's not. That first Christmas…Christ was born in a dirty barn and laid in a dirty manger filled with straw, with dirty animals about. There's nothingContinue reading “Wintersong/Christmas Lights/It Came Upon The Midnight Clear”

This is the choir and orchestra from my church performing this weekend during our Christmas celebration, Finding Christmas. I was fortunate to hear them in person and enjoy celebrating the season with joyous live music. I pray it's a blessing to you.      

I attended the Christmas Concert, Finding Christmas, at Grace Baptist earlier and heard this song and wanted to share it.  It seems appropriate for the days in which we live… I found the prologue in this video interesting, too. It provides much needed background for the song and adds some urgency to the message forContinue reading “I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day”

I love looking through bandcamp or Noisetrade for new music. I shared a song from this group last year during the holiday season. Just found out on bandcamp they have released a new holiday EP and so I listened to it. Loved this song and want to share it. I love actually how it tiesContinue reading “Waiting For You”

I shared a song by JJ Heller several years ago, the first year I started sharing songs. Heard her singing this song tonight and knew it needed to be shared. Love her voice… Love her message.    

I've been remiss in sharing from the devotional I'm going through this holiday. I've had time to ruminate on yesterday's and today's devotional and want to share from them both.  Yesterday the devotional spoke about why Christmas happened. Today's speaks of God's passion for His Glory at Christmas.  They are so beautifully intertwined.  We areContinue reading “Gloria”
