Below are the lyrics for the song “I Believe” written by the First Trinity Youth Band and some of the 8th grade confirmands to celebrate today.

Hands That Hold the World
Below is a song I heard recently that I liked and thought some of you might like as well. Enjoy! Tanzania by Alli Rogers It’s eight hours later in Tanzania. When Jen lays down Mary’s just opening her eyes. Her child’s feet land on the ground and dirt scatters, And she feels left… Continue reading Hands That Hold the World
A new day
Throughout the past however-many years, I’ve occasionally taken up the practice for some period of time to list each day blessings or joys from God, things to be thankful for, places I saw him, etc. This practice has been brought again to the surface through the reading of “One Thousand Gifts” by Ann Voskamp. To… Continue reading A new day
Free to Be Me
A couple places lately the idea of making decision following God’s will has come up in discussion. We kind of talked about it a little at Lifegroup last night. Its common conversation among all of us interns as we each are in different situations with calls and interviews and placement (oh my). I’ve had more… Continue reading Free to Be Me
Who I am… an Offering of Self
I don’t know if I had heard this song before but I’ve heard it twice in the past two days and LOVE it. Check out some of the lyrics here… I think it’s pretty obvious from reading them, why I think this song is awesome: “You see yourself in the mirror of the temporary And… Continue reading Who I am… an Offering of Self

There’s just something about music that calms my soul. St. Augustine once said, “He who sings, prays twice.” As people gathered in Trinity Lutheran Church in Lockport, NY tonight, many prayers, with voice and song, were raised up for the homeless in Western New York. It was such a fun night tonight. Various… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed by music
The Stuff God Uses…
On my way to work this morning, I heard a new song I hadn't heard before. At first I thought it was just one of those goofy "morning" songs the announcers sometimes sing as it talked about lost keys and cell phones. But, as it went on I realized it was a real song about… Continue reading The Stuff God Uses…
HOPE {Day 3} A Light is Coming
As I played this song (You Never Let Go by Matt Redman) on the piano for fun after youth band practice, these lyrics seemed to be saying… HOPE: I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on And there will be an end to these troubles But until… Continue reading HOPE {Day 3} A Light is Coming
Joyfullyblessed… “Blessed is the One”
I was on the way home from church today and the song “Blessed is the One” by Daniel Doss Band was playing in my car. It really fit well with Pastor’s sermon series right now about the “Round-About Ways of God”. Many of the words connected with the point in the sermon last week about… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… “Blessed is the One”
Joyfullyblessed… To Let Go!
For those of you who are still getting to know me out here in NY, you will soon learn that I love music (and writing really long blogs). I love playing my guitar. I love attempting to play piano. I love writing songs. I love listening to music (of many kinds). I simply enjoy music. … Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… To Let Go!
