dear Whitney,

Ms. Houston, I think we owe you a sincere apology. When we first bought your cassette tapes so many years ago, we were taken in by your voice. The strength and control of every note and the emotion with which you sang was truly captivating. Your voice was described as “timeless” and “flawless”. You gave [...]

could He be sending me back in?

Several years ago I was at a women’s conference in North Carolina singing with Rita Springer. Once worship was finished, I went to sit in the back of the church. The lady who was teaching began talking about prophecy and prophetic words, and I couldn’t help but scoff a bit under my breath. Over my [...]

“Judas”

Someone sent me a link to Lady Gaga’s new song titled “Judas”…I suppose if she is all about shock value, she’s got me here… Here are some of the lyrics… “Oh-oh-oh-ohoo I’m in love with Juda-as, Juda-as When he comes to me, I am ready I’ll wash his feet with my hair if he needs [...]

more creative Jesus music…

Several months ago I wrote a blog about some of my favorite albums. Since then, I’ve gotten tons of feedback from people who are always looking for creative Christian music…the kind that will probably never make it to mainstream Christian radio stations… And after my most recent blog about some of the ugly things about [...]

the double-minded “Christian/Gospel” music industry…

I had a friend ask me about where I am with my music. Would I write/record an album again? I honestly haven’t even thought about it for over a year. And when I began asking myself that question that led to another question…WHY haven’t I thought about it? So, here’s the honest answer…and a warning…you [...]

God laughs at MY plans…

I have never wanted to be famous.  I have seen fame steal, kill and destroy people, relationships and lives.  I have witnessed this MORE in the “Christian” music industry than anywhere else.

the teen and the boy…

I’m not a great parent.  I’m not patient.  I don’t get down in the floor and wrestle with my kids.  I am allergic to everything outdoors, so it’s very rare that I can take them to the park.  I hate carpool lines and have a huge desire to homeschool but am pretty sure I would [...]

grateful for delays…
