I love it when you discover one of your favorite singers is a Christian. You might have always suspected, but never really knew for sure. That’s the way it is with me and Lee Brice. I always thought he was a nice guy. I discovered a few weeks ago that he is also a very good Christian man. Here he is singing one of my favorite songs “Go Tell It on the Mountain.” Leave me …
It’s that time of year when I get you in the Christmas mood. I love the song “The Christmas Shoes,” but every time I hear it, I find myself tearing up. It gets to my heart every time. Let me know if it does the same for you.
I know you are tired of all the nonsense from the election, so I thought I’d remind you that Christmas is less than two months away. Yes, I’m going there. I thought this might help you get over last week and be willing to move forward. If you or someone you know needs prayer, please leave a comment below.
I know we’re all about as stressed as we can be as it gets closer to Christmas, with the presents, the family, etc. All a bit busy to even think at times, so I thought you might enjoy a somewhat humorous rendition of the best selling single ever – White Christmas. That’s right, not just out of Christmas songs, but White Christmas is the best selling single ever released. I hope you enjoy this rendition …
I have a feeling the title of this week’s blog gave away the song we’ll be discussing. You’re right if you thought The Little Drummer Boy. I became a fan of this song after seeing the television special as a young girl. This song was written in 1941 by Katherine K. Davis, a composer interested in producing material for amateur choirs. It became famous in 1958 when the song was recorded by the Harry Simeone …
There are some songs that hit you right in the heart and will automatically make you smile. With its wonderful words about peace and goodwill, Silent Night is one of those songs. While the words were written in the 1700s, the music wasn’t composed until 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber in Austria. This song has now been recorded over 700 times in the last 36 years. However, the real story that gets this song included …
It’s Christmas. The season of giving and good cheer. It’s considered the happiest time of the year. And from the looks on the children’s faces, I agree. Some of that cheer comes from the songs played on the radio, in the stores, and in our own homes. Last year, I told of the history of two songs, Go Tell It on the Mountain and the Twelve Days of Christmas. This year, I thought I’d do …
A quick FYI, my Christmas book The Chain You Forge is on sale this week for $0.99. http://amzn.to/2Al7tRC. Now on to our blog. Favorite Songs of the Season I love listening to the older Christmas songs that I grew up with. We all remember “Away in the Manger,” and “Silent Night.” These songs have stayed with me since my childhood. I especially love the history behind these songs. I thought for the holidays coming up, I’d share …
