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

Vacations are for Detours
I come ‘round the last curve in the road. A smile grows on my face as contentment grows in my soul. If I wasn’t sure before, I’m now convinced that this impromptu detour down “J-Hill” road was a great idea. I can’t wait to get down the drive and park the car, quick turning off… Continue reading Vacations are for Detours
‘Tis Good, Lord, To Be Here
Today was a beautiful day. I’m currently back at school in Nebraska for a Mid-Year Conference with all of the DCE interns from all over the world. These few days back on campus are hard to describe. Most of us interns have used the word “weird” in that description more times than we probably can count. It’s… Continue reading ‘Tis Good, Lord, To Be Here
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 28} – My Hope by Matt Redman
A beautiful song by Matt Redman called My Hope. ENJOY! My Hope by Matt Redman Verse 1 My hope is built on nothing else Than Jesus blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly live on Jesus name Chorus When the mountains are falling when the waters are… Continue reading Hope {Day 28} – My Hope by Matt Redman
Hope {Day 19} – Made New
I’ve heard the stories again and again. Each one so distinct and unique, yet, so similar at the core. Something happened- Many things maybe. Something so horrifying it rarely, if ever, gets any attention in conversation. Yet, it gets all the attention in the heart. Neglect. Rape. Abuse. The death of a loved… Continue reading Hope {Day 19} – Made New
Hope {Day 17} – LIGHT Part 2
I was hoping to put this up yesterday in continuation to Day 15's discussion about LIGHT but after fighting with my computer for entirely too long yesterday, I gave up. Thankfully, I was victorioius over my computer today and have this song, or the startings of one, to share: (Click the triangle to play.) This prayer asks God to… Continue reading Hope {Day 17} – LIGHT Part 2
Joyfullyblessed…It’s kinda weird…
It’s kind of a weird thing to attend a funeral for someone you’ve never met, but definitely a unique opportunity that I’ve had a few times since being on internship, including once this week. Normally, funeral are associated emotions of grief and pain and confusion. Of course there is hope and glimmers of joy in… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed…It’s kinda weird…
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 simply be His child
So, I always appreciate when people are real with me, so here I am, being “real” with the world. It finally happened. All the events, emotions, and adventures of the past few months of my life just hit me like one of those giant wrecking balls taking down a house. I knew it would… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… to simply be His child
