Every once in a great while, you may find yourself sitting in the audience at church or other various local venues and, to your surprise, something absolutely exquisite graces the stage causing your heart to quietly bow. You gently brace yourself and think, “Wow, there is something special here!” If you’re a musician you can more readily define what it is that is happening, like a gorgeous chord structure being played, or a breathtaking vocalist making beautiful vocal choices that are near perfect, not too much or too little, with chilling execution. But in rare instances, you get both, a […]

Do you have anxiety about what to do for your sweetie, or do you have something really cool up your sleeve this year? How about a little help to kick start a few new ideas to […]

Just like there are so many different denominations in the Christian faith, there are also seemingly many denominations of music. You may have heard or even used the term “secular music” yourself. Rest assured, you are not alone as it is a common term among the brethren, that is, people of the Christian faith. What sets it apart Mainstream Christian music may share a secular style of groove and musical swag, but if you listen closely there is a running theme of godly lyrics that typically drive home a gospel message. Sometimes the message is aggressive and sometimes not, but […]

We might, and usually do, differ in our likes and dislikes, but the one genre that seems to melt our hearts towards one another is the music of Christmas. With the holidays fast approaching, it’s safe to say we are all getting ready to jingle our music bells to the tunes of the season. So, who is your favorite artist? What is that one CD that instantly ushers into your […]

When Private Becomes Public

Bill Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenneger, Michael Vick, O.J. Simpson, Dan Marino, Riley Cooper. What do all of these men have in common? They are famous men in their own right, all with stories of both success and failure. What sets their lives apart from yours and mine is that their failures became public and ours, in most cases, remain tucked away in the privacy of our own hearts. That small difference is a game changer. Lives that get turned upside down as a result of poor judgment have served America with some of the finest entertainment available. Sad isn’t it? But […]

If the goal was to connect us, technology has certainly exceeded its goal. We can virtually, all day long, check in on multiple sites with each other on any topic we choose. How we’re feeling, what we’re eating, what we’re photographing, who we’re angry with, who we’re in love with…it’s a bit like Kramer […]

Husbands love your wives… the end. If only it were that simple right? So what makes you feel loved? Dr. Gary Chapman thought this was such a vital question that he wrote an entire book about it entitled The 5 Love Languages. The book centers around figuring out what makes you and your spouse tick when it comes to feeling loved. Needless to say, it was a best seller in both the mainstream and Christian markets. Why? Because we are indeed a people searching for love, acceptance, encouragement, appreciation, acknowledgement and even applause from time to time. Thousands upon thousands […]

What about this generation, typically referred to as Gen-Y, post baby boomers, the millennial generation, roughly born between the mid-70’s-90. Where do you stand? Oh I’m sure if you’re a boomer like me, your head has spun a few times at the sight of a Gen Y-er. I mean c’mon, what’s with the tattoos, nose rings, triple ear piercings and other unmentionable piercings? And then the electronic appendages, oh yes, it is a rare sighting to spot a Gen-Y subject that doesn’t have something hanging off his or her body to connect them to their flavor of the month. How […]
