Heard this song last night and it spoke to me powerfully during this mad time in which we live. I've a tattoo on the underside of my left arm, "Philippians 3:10-14 …Pressing On." I love that passage, but the part that speaks most deeply to me is verse 12, "Not that I have already obtainedContinue reading “He Will Hold Me Fast”

I have already spoken to how the week began with family and friends celebrating the nation's independence and MY birthday. I loved having family and friends around me to mark the passing of time with me and celebrate this new score of years. And then the week went to hell in a hand-basket. Not really sureContinue reading “Adagio for Strings/Agnus Dei”

Have spent the past few days with family and friends as I marked the beginning of a new decade, a new score of years of this life that I live. Family came down from the central valley and we had fun eating, playing games, and just celebrating life as my family is wonderfully wont toContinue reading “Teach Us To Pray”

Bear with me… Story… after story… after story… and my heart is broken for those who call themselves Christian and still support Donald Trump.  My heart hurts as I read of people who call themselves Christian crying out for religious freedom here in America… but… not… for… Muslims…  It's Us against Them as has been the caseContinue reading “James 5:16”

Ralph Stanley passed away today.  You're probably asking, "Ralph Who?" It's ok. He's an icon in the bluegrass world.  Being a lover of bluegrass, I'm paying my respects by sharing this song.       Gotta share another video of Dr. Stanley… this one with Patty Loveless.  This music is in my blood…    

Just saw today that Bastille released a new single from their upcoming second album, Wild World. Realized I hadn't followed up on them since their first album, Bad Blood, of which I posted a few songs. Could only find the new song on Spotify, so have shared that link, but not sure you can access itContinue reading “Good Grief/Hangin’”

I wrote this post earlier this year about my father for his birthday: In past years, I've tried to share a new song a day, a different song a day, based on what was going on, what I'd heard that day or even sought out to share. This year may not be the same in thatContinue reading “Good Good Father”

Father's Day is tomorrow. It will be my first without Daddy. Heard this song on the radio recently. Looked it up and remembered it from a Grey's Anatomy episode from several years back. As I listen to it today, it speaks to what I feel with my dad gone. Just gotta keep breathing… one dayContinue reading “Keep Breathing”

Mumford and Sons just released their mini album Johannesburg. You can read more about the album and the making of here. I've shared one of the songs already, here. Have been listening to the mini album on Spotify. You need to check it out.    

Found this song on NPR earlier this evening. Powerful. I keep replaying it… It's from the upcoming movie, Legend of Tarzan, which is not an origin story, but takes up the story of Tarzan at a later date, in a sense him coming back to his roots to save his wife and others from aContinue reading “Better Love”
