Home Stretch
With only 14 songs left to complete before the next phase of my “Cherished Hymns” song book, I am excited – and a bit in awe – that another big change in my life is looming on the horizon. I should be finished in the next couple of days, and then I’ll have a few… Continue reading

Keepers At Home
I have mentioned – or tagged – this phrase in several previous blog articles, but what does it really mean? To my surprise, it is only mentioned once in the Bible, in Titus. When I revisited the passage to begin writing about it, I was struck by the implication that most of the lessons younger… Continue reading

My Dad and His Son
Even though I didn’t know him very well, I grew up living with, and getting to know my Dad – his mannerisms, the kind of music he liked, the way he laughed, the little curl on one side of his mouth when he talked. I don’t remember how old I was when I “knew” or… Continue reading

100 Songs!
I accomplished a huge milestone this week on my “Cherished Hymns” song book project. I completed 100 of the 230+ songs that will be included in the book! In the beginning of May this year, I upgraded my Sibelius music notation software so I could begin the work of creating new sheet music and editing… Continue reading
