This song is for those who are finding it hard to celebrate this time of year.  In the midst of all the frenzy and celebration there is still loneliness, heartache and grief.  It can be a bleak midwinter.  The only thing I have to offer you is Psalm 30:5, "weeping may tarry for the night,Continue reading “365 Day Project-Day 339-This Christmas I’ve run out of things to give”

Busyness fills my life these days.  I'm busy with a new job.  I'm busy with three (yes, THREE) plays, two in production, one in rehearsal.  I'm busy being grandma to three rambunctious boys.  I'm busy.   That makes me all the more determined to seek out songs for this Advent season.  Looking for new songsContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 337-Come Thou Almighty King”

A gentleman from the UK, Robert Steadman, released a new nocturne every day of Advent 2013 and it was all captured in an album.  Though it is tempting to just use his music everyday and be done with searching for anything new, I will not succumb.  I will continue to share other artists this season.Continue reading “365 Day Project-Day 336-Advent Nocturnes – December 2nd (Chromatius)”

I heard this song tonight as I was preparing forContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 333-Still, Still, Still”

It’s been a crazy week with Tech and Dress Rehearsals and prepping for Thanksgiving.  We got through the rehearsals and Thanksgiving dinner was delicious thanks to my amazing daughter.  Tonight was Opening Night for Canyon Theatre Guild’s holiday production of Miracle on 34th Street and my first time performing with this group.  All I canContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 332-Believe”

The Civil Wars are no more, but Joy Williams is still singing.  She collaborated with longtime friend Hayley Williams (no relation) of Paramore for this song and it’s quite lovely.  

I went with my daughter to church today.  The message was on Ephesians 6:14-17, the armor of God.  It wasn’t a message on power though, because we are powerless.  It was on putting on Christ.  It was on community.  It was good.  We sang this song.
