365 Day Project-Day 25-My Love

Ok, so I’m still fixating on the music from the Twilight Series.  Each movie has had a song that gripped me with its beauty, its wistfulness.  The first Twilight movie gave me “Bella’s Lullaby” which I’ve already showcased here (Day 4).  This song is from the third movie in the series, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” Continue reading “365 Day Project-Day 25-My Love”

365 Day Project-Day 24-Silver Springs

Ok, so a friend posted a Dave Matthews Band video on Facebook and I thought it would be a good one to share tonight.  I love that video, too.  But then, another friend posted a Fleetwood Mac video from 1977, when they had just released their album, Rumours.  I think I posted earlier that I’veContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 24-Silver Springs”

Jesus and the Woman at the Well

Justin Taylor posted this on his site, Between Two Worlds.  I love this story of the Samaritan woman’s encounter with Jesus at the well.  I can so relate to her and to see in this reenactment how Jesus speaks without any judgment or condemnation and offers “Living Water” to her and then to see herContinue reading “Jesus and the Woman at the Well”

365 Day Project-Day 23-Ashokan Farewell

Posted last night’s musical selection by Mark O’Connor and started looking through other songs he’s played.  Found this beautiful song.  I’d heard it before several years ago and fell in love with it.  Tried to find Mark’s version from his album, Heroes, but couldn’t.  Found this version by the original composer, Jay Unger, instead.  SoContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 23-Ashokan Farewell”

365 Day Project-Day 21-Foolish Games

1997 was a difficult year for my daughter and me.  There were a lot of life transitions going on and we were coping as best we could.  One way was through music.  It was then that I started collecting music from the Windham Hill label.  Instrumental music from the likes of Will Ackerman, Jim BrickmanContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 21-Foolish Games”

365 Day Project-Day 19-Holocene

January’s just over halfway gone.  It’s finally raining.  Melancholy is the mood du jour, but, it’s ok.  As I think of it, I tend toward it being a normal state as a Christian.  It’s a longing, a missing something; and since this is not our home, it is normal to long for home, for Someone. Continue reading “365 Day Project-Day 19-Holocene”
