When I wake up with a worship song or Scripture already in my mind as my first waking thought, I pay attention. A few days ago, these lyrics were on repeat as I transitioned into my day: "You write a beautiful story. You write a beautiful story.From glory to glory. I believe.You write a beautiful… Continue reading The Stories We Tell

Blissfully Unaware – Giving Up Worry
I recently joined the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and have truly enjoyed singing in an ensemble regularly again.

No matter what order we rehearse the movements in, the second one is… Continue reading Blissfully Unaware – Giving Up Worry

What if? {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 7}
I found myself at the kitchen sink last night, finally giving in and doing the dishes that had been staring at me all night long. Music always makes cleaning more exciting, but in breaking out itunes for a little inspiration, I never expected it might break me. Not in a bad way, but more in… Continue reading What if? {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 7}
The Walls that Divide
This afternoon, I found myself thinking about a lot of things. Mostly... about the walls that often divide us... walls in schools, homes, churches, friendships, and more. These walls often come from areas of pain in our individual lives. Following is a musical response I wrote this afternoon... not perfect... recorded only on my computer… Continue reading The Walls that Divide
Grace
I heard this song (below) today for the first time and feel in love with it… especially the chorus where it talks about walking in his grace that is sufficient for each day.
