Music
Life Paths
My sister came for the day. This morning we got to talking about our kids and their future. They have the world at their feet, which is both exciting and overwhelming. My mom said that from the time she was little, she always knew that music would be the focus of her life. And it […]
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
Today my parents and I watched the adorable viral video of the little 4 year old girl and her dad singing, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”. It brought tears to my eyes. According to the news, the video has been seen over 100 million times. Why is this video so widely popular? I think there […]
Fiddles at the Airport
I made a trip to the airport today to pick up my son’s girlfriend who came in for a visit. Actually, my son was supposed to fly in as well, but coming from another state. I got a call from him early this morning that, unfortunately, his flight was cancelled due to the weather. Inside […]
A Recorder Group
Tonight my parents and I watched my grandson performing at his school holiday concert. I saw him and his brother in as many of their concerts as I could when I lived close by. I was always impressed with their school music program. Tonight we viewed it via video. It wasn’t quite the same as being […]

Dinner and a Show

Way Beyond Me
I got in the car early this morning to see my mom and turned on the radio. It was on the Christian station and the song, “Beyond Me” by Toby Mac came on. It was perfect for the day and I kept it in the front of my mind. You can see the video HERE. […]
Singing With the Angels
My mom’s brother was an incredible singer – especially in his youth. When he was about 12 years old, he won multiple competitions leading him to sing a solo at the Chicagoland Music Festival in Soldier’s Field in front of a crowd of about 61,000. He actually won first place that year. Metropolitan Opera singer […]
Almost There
For several years, my son and I would spend a few days each summer at a Christian music festival. It was held outdoors on the side of a mountain and was such a gorgeous setting. There were several stages with several bands. We had fun planning our time so we could see our favorite artists. […]
God’s Still Here
When I used to go with groups of youth and adults to Workcamp for a week, each day we would talk about where we saw God in that day. A friend of mine shared a couple of “God Sightings” with me today. One of them was about a friend of his who was driving on […]
