For He satisfies the longing soul - Psalms 107:9

About Me

Right now I'm solo, writing songs, and working on putting together a CD this next year. I lead worship at Castle Hills FBC (www.chfbc.org) for the Mosaic service Sunday mornings at 9am.
I'm continuing to develop as a singer/songwriter and learned a great deal in the summer of 2005 on a songwriting journey through Europe. The trip was a turning point in my life - seems like I learned a lot in terms of joy, pain, and trusting God. I've made mistakes and seemed to have taken wrong turns, yet when I'm done with MY way, God seems to step in and bring me back to my senses.
If there is one thing I've consistently learned, it is God knows has it all under control, even when we feel like we are stumbling or flailing about in our lives. I feel blessed by His grace and mercy, the sacrifice of Christ, and to be where I am at this moment. Life is much better if we take it a step at a time, not looking back and not worrying about what is ahead.
Thanks for listening!Much peace -e......

Unafraid

I took a run today with lots on my mind.  I recall a couple of Saturdays ago a woman near the front of the auditorium during service with tears in her eyes.  I was singing Blessed Be th...

51

Psalm 51 seems like it was written to speak just to me.  I often use parts of it when I pray.  Every time I hear it or read it, it tugs at my heart.  I think the redemption theme is wh...

Luther and Music
