So, I’ve gotten hooked on the British mini-series, State of Play.  Watched the first three episodes this evening.  Planning to watch the last three episodes tomorrow night.  Heard a song during one of the episodes and, of course, Shazamed it.  Found the song and discovered a new musical duo, Röyksopp.  Listened to a couple moreContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 100-Running To The Sea”

The 2014 World Cup doesn’t start in Brazil for another month or so, but music from the official album tracklist is being released ahead of the games.  While this song may not be the “official” song for the games, I like it better.  I mean, it’s Shakira!  I’m excited to hear more when the albumContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 99-La La La”

Back home from a deliriously wonderful week spent with my daughter and her family, helping them with my newborn grandson.  Arrived home late last night and completely blanked on posting a song of the day.  Today was spent recovering from the crazy week spent with my two older grandsons.  Just so you know, I’m talkingContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 97&98- Hey Brother/I Won’t Let You Go”

Went to church with my daughter and family today.  We sang this song.  The bridge comes from one of my favorite verses, Romans 8:28—”And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”  What great comfort that is, knowing that HeContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 96-Your Love Never Fails”

Catching up on shows with my daughter and son-in-law tonight.  Caught the latest episode of Parenthood.  Heard this song.  Here you go.  

I can’t believe I haven’t shared more of Patty Griffin’s music.  The album from which this song came was played often on my iPod the summer of 2008.  It was a summer spent dealing with a torn rotator cuff and subsequent surgery later in the year.  Music is often my coping mechanism.  It soothes, encourages,Continue reading “365 Day Project-Day 94-Top Of The World”

Ok, so there are all sorts of things you can do with a baby in your arms…typing isn’t one of them.  Not very well or very quickly, at any rate.  We had family over for the evening visiting and just hanging out.  After they left, it was time for my daughter to nurse the babyContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 93-Thunderstruck”

Spending time with my daughter and newborn grandson has been a most lovely thing.  I look at her, this mother of three sons, and am amazed at the woman she is, the wife and mother she has become.  I am grateful beyond measure for what God has done and is doing in her life andContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 92-Tusan Tankar”

Been a long day with family.  Saw one grandson off to school and then daughter, son-in-law and youngest grandson took off for appointment with pediatrician for baby’s first check up since being released from hospital on Sunday.  That left me with the middle grandson…  Once I got him out of the house (trust me, itContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 91-Adiemus”

Thinking of a friend tonight and looking forward to seeing her again by that sea of glass (Rev. 4:6).  Was reminded of one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and the song whose beginning notes you hear in the background.  SoContinue reading “A Sea of Glass”
