Christian Singers Singing Christian Songs

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 …

Giving Up Too Soon

Too often, when something is difficult, we give up. But things that are worth it, take hard work, and time. Fred Astaire’s first screen test garnered such criticism as “Can’t act. Can’t sing. Balding. Can dance a little.” Elvis Presley’s eighth grade music teacher told him he had no “aptitude” for singing. Sometimes it’s not others who tell us to quit. Quite often it’s circumstances. Can you believe Michael Jordan wasn’t allowed on his varsity …

Finding God Unexpectedly

I love it when I’m listening to a song or watching something on television and God is mentioned unexpectedly. That occurred the other day. When I’m working out, I like to listen to oldies rock. The other day, the song “Get Together” by The Youngbloods came on. Here are some of the lyrics that made me sit up straighter: “Some may come and some may go, We shall surely pass, When the one that left …

Learning to Trust

“Put the camera down and let’s play ball!” You were abused in your past. Hurt by someone you loved. Cheated on. Abandoned. These are all ways we lose our trust in others. It takes time to overcome these issues, even when it comes to trusting God. It’s hard to understand a God you call Father if your own father abused or abandoned you. Just know that God is nothing like any father here on Earth. …
