I’ll say this as nicely and diplomatically as I can. But does every little thing always have to be a crisis? Of course there are those who feed off of stirring up trouble, but it seems to me that many people today are just more reactive than responsive. They react without really listening or […]
They’re Playing Our Song — The Story Behind the Music
Music has been an active part of my life since I started piano lessons at the tender age of…very young. I wrote my first song in high school and haven’t stopped since. I appreciate all types and genres of music and hope my heart beats with yours. I come from a music-loving family. Many times […]

But there’s something else that really caught my eye this year from an often overlooked part of the story. That’s the issue of unanswered prayer. This year in particular has been […]
True value
Take nothing and no one for granted. Savor every moment. Cherish every hope. Walk every path. Explore every dream. Treasure every heartbeat.
