Southern Style

The first time that the COR-tet sang at church, I commented that we needed to find some songs with more energy. Well, the next one that we picked was a traditional Southern gospel quartet number that definitely has more energy!

Tulips

About 2 weeks ago I spotted some beautiful purple tulips in the cut flower section of the grocery store so I brought them home for Linda. They've been gracing our table and doing well, but were clearly getting to the end of their time. Well, today they did something magical and turned into this.

10,000 Reasons

I've always been a singer. The stories from my parents of my earliest years recounted times of me singing in church. So I was excited to have to opportunity to join the praise team at church this morning. The worship set included this song which has become a favorite of mine "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" by Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman.

In a conversation after the service someone commented that singing like this "opens up your heart" and I can't think of a better way to describe the experience. Singing God's praises and leading the congregation in worship was a wonderful experience. I'm thankful to Patty Gross, our worship leader, for the opportunity.

Praise the Lord, O my soul, O my soul,

Worship His holy name!

Sing like never before, O my soul.

I'll worship Your holy name!
