I have come to the end of my year-long running journey, where I had decided to run through the last twenty years of my music collection, going back-in-time with my thoughts and musings to see where it led. Each song or album that I acquired over the last twenty years had a memory or meaning attached to it. So I began the journey by loading up my MP3 with a variety of songs and genres and took off running. As the year came to a close, I found the last artist on my playlist – U2. It seemed appropriate enough. This particular album was a collection of four songs from a Starbucks CD back in the early 2000’s. Ah yes, I remember those […]

His songs invoke memories and hope. This particular song begins with those familiar words, “I need a sign…” As I began to listen to the song […]

Among the chaos in the news headlines this last week, there was a small news clip of significant impact. A church bus crashed returning home to North Carolina after a three-day Jubilee celebration in Gatlinburg, TN. The bus blew a tire and hit an SUV and a tractor-trailer. Eight people lost their lives. News like this makes me stop in my tracks. Sometimes it makes me question, just for a moment, the essence of my prayers. Surely those people were praying for safe travels.
