• Visiting Loved Ones

  Over the last couple of months we have missed any opportunity to see our family. We have tried to check in on them throughout the months. These two are very special people to our family since we walked through the doors to Fellowship all those years ago. Pastor Dean has always been so welcoming and…

• Residual Musical Thoughts

  If you remember I had a lot on my mind a couple of days ago, Sunday morning. Music is my peaceful place and emotions can easily overflow. This is a photo my Uncle Tony made for me a long time ago. It is a sparrow. The photo was asked for specifically because of how the…

• Pep Band Melodies

  Music stays with me. Especially when in high school we went over these songs time and time again. Not just to practice but to perform for basketball and football games. As much as I never felt athletic personally, i was a Bulldog. Our school pride was important to morale. Pep Band was also crucial to that…

• Movies In Real-Life

  It is so hard to not like Kevin Bacon. I grew up with the original Footloose, I loved the music it is such a classic movie for my generation. However, he leans somewhat liberal in this thinking unfortunately. There is a movie he did in 2009 called, “Taking Chance.” This afternoon while I watched the…

• Singing… & Strawberries

  Music is good for the soul. God created music to be used for worshiping Him. It’s also a way to relate with family nowadays. Yesterday it was, for me and Selena, for certain. I have what now is an old CD. I am not certain the name of it only that the musician was Deena…

• My Conundrum

  Have you ever found yourself flat-footed with a preteen about lyrics versus actions from a rather beloved musician? Music has always been my passion from the time I became a fetus listening in my mothers womb. I literally heard my Dad’s voice and Mom’s fingers every Sunday morning and evening and Wednesday nights. It was…

• My Birth Year Shining Through The Years

  Obviously my parents had a lot to do with my early years of life and were my influences. In the last decade I have done research into some of my favorite songs and films that surprised me. Have you seen those little booklets from years ago and what the prices were all the details to…

• Christmas Tunes By Kids & Teachers

  Today is the first time in too many years since I watched my niece in a School Program. It’s been at least 3 years. Work was the excuse last year, but lack of coordination and communication around the supposed parents is to blame otherwise. I am trying to be nice about it too. This was…

• After Service Thoughts

  The first Sunday of December and it was Communion Day. For once even by myself I got some Christmas Cards passed out today. This has never happened before. Doing them this way feels different, but I still love making them and passing them out to friends and family. During the congregational singing memories flooded my…

• A Purpose

  All week I have been experiencing some lows personally. It is a fact of life that we will have difficulties that accompany the highs and victories of life. I know this all too well having dealt with Bipolar in my family. It doesn’t take a diagnosis to know when someone is depressed. After a while…
