She is Love, Acoustic [Parachute]
I forgot how much I loved this song. It’s a throwback kinda night 🙂 This is really a song about love itself – how it can save us, rescue us from our fears & doubts, and bring us back to life again. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjh9LLy4nf8] And the lyrics, cuz I love ...

Lay it All Down [Nightminds by Missy Higgins]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAr9mdb6Zdo&feature=player_embedded] Music has a way of expressing how we feel… stealing words right outta our hearts, better said than we ever could. Sometimes they pinpoint how we’ve been feeling or what we’ve been struggling with ...

Tribute to My Best Friend: My Husband
Through the years we’ve all gotten on and off various treadmills in our lives. Such treadmills are when we try to earn somebody’s love, attention, respect and admiration. I think we’ve all done it–even when we were unaware that’s what we were seeking. The driven ...

The Best Revenge
It ain’t heavy if you don’t pick it up. It sneaks up on you. Fine one day, you find yourself changed a short time later. You may have heard the story of how to boil a frog: Put him in cool water and slowly heat it up. By the time the little guy’s aware how hot the ...

Welcome Back, Life! The Freedom of Grace
Christians I think get it messy sometimes. I’m a big perpetrator of this. We think the whole ‘Dying to self’ thing means dying to our passions, whatever we love and find fun and enjoyable. But is that true? A quick review of Scripture seems to support this. Stop ...

Playing it (Too) Safe
Just turned twenty-eight. Wooohooo. Blow the kazoo, I’m one step closer to 30! From the get-go of this year, I sensed God saying that this was the year I’d face my fears. Uh oh. You see, I had this sudden twenty-eight-year-old epiphany. I’m not fully living. Why ...
