I recently joined the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and have truly enjoyed singing in an ensemble regularly again. One of the pieces we're doing at our concert this Sunday is a 3-movement piece by Bernstein featuring a collection of Psalms sung in Hebrew. No matter what order we rehearse the movements in, the second one is… Continue reading Blissfully Unaware – Giving Up Worry

God’s Word is AMAZING! – Week 2 Memory Verse Song
God's Word is truly AMAZING! As I shared in the children's sermon this morning, there are many things that amaze me about God's Word, but the thing that amazes me the most is its power to change our lives.

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}
God-Sighting Saturday
A new worship song penned by a high school youth boldly asking "Use me, God"! And He does! God works through people. Women gathered in a slightly older one's home. Chocolate chip pancakes and an evening in the Word, in sharing, in tears, in joy. God gives rest. Beautiful peach roses delivered amazing new neighbors.… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday
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
Joyfullyblessed by music
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
“Don’t Leave Messiah in the Manger”
I wrote this song a couple year ago to sing at Christmas time in my church back home. It’s easy I think, even as Christians, to choose to do exactly what the title of this song tells us NOT to do… to leave Jesus in the manger. Christmas comes and we get excited about… Continue reading “Don’t Leave Messiah in the Manger”
