   Don’t Lose Hope

   November 8, 2021 – Montgomery, AL I never noticed who would open for TobyMac’s concert, The Theatre Tour. I just knew that I had front row seats for me and my two daughters to see one of our favorite bands. For almost two years this concert was postponed for several reasons, but it wasn’t until […]

   Loudest Praise

   Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:7-8 (NIV) Psalm 42 (Loudest Praise) by Shane and Shane

   Made To Love

   I’m going to a concert this weekend and I will hear a song with these lyrics… Made To Love Love. It’s like a photo that’s been filtered, cropped, shared, saved, filtered again, and then re-posted. You can hardly recognize it these days. Do we ever consider the original, authentic Love? Or do we...

   R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

   School Days I work at a middle school with some of the best people I’ve ever known. Some are super funny, like our Theatre and Choir teacher, shown here in his 2021 Halloween costume which was a tribute to school lunch crispitos. We had a special guest speaker at our school today and I have […]

   Bring it all to the table…

   I’ve written about this song before, but a recent concert experience brought the lyrics back to mind from a different perspective. (And hooray for live music again!) The human definition: If you bring something to the table, you make a contribution or an offer in a discussion or negotiation. This...

   Pawpaw

   My grandfather passed away over the weekend. I lived with my grandparents off and on from age 5 to age 18. There are a lot of stories to tell, but this is how I will begin: Rev. Milton Simpson Memorial Service Video Funeral Service: May 11, 2021 History Reading for Funeral by Glenda Simpson…

   The Banks for Your River

   The banks of a river or the shores of a sea are often the backdrop where desperate people find unexpected rescue from a threatening, watery grave. You can imagine the suspenseful music as every strained muscle of their arms and legs fight through the water, until the triumphant grasp of their…

    Steal My Show

    I love TobyMac and the Diverse City Band. Sometimes, I feel like I am the only person (besides my daughters) in my little corner of the world who even know who they are. ☺️ TobyMac Rocks!!! This group by Toby McKeehan (formerly of DC Talk) and Third Day were some of the first Christian CDs […]

    The Rain Keeps Falling

    I referenced the Elijah-in-a-cave story after work today. It’s okay if you don’t know that story…I have a lengthy post about it. ☺️ A friend and I lingered in the parking lot talking about how it feels to be stuck in a pit…or in the back of a cave. I got into my car where […]
