I have long loved the hymn “Just As I Am.” Although it was often overused at the Christian school that I attended as a child, I loved the simplicity of the melody and the message. As we sang the lyrics this past Sunday during worship, one of the verses jumped out at me, and I was surprised . . . → Read More: Just As I Am

David Gray & Annie Lennox ‘Full Steam’

By Brian, on February 25th, 2010 |

I adore David Gray and Annie Lennox, so it should surprise no one that I am currently addicted to the song they did for David’s latest release.

All our lives we’ve dreamed about it
Just to find that it was never real
This sure ain’t no great Valhalla

Forlorn, adrift on seas of . . . → Read More: David Gray & Annie Lennox ‘Full Steam’

I have a cork board hanging beside my desk at work that is covered with photos of friends, family, places I’ve been on vacation, and my partner. It has pictures of my parents, my sister and I when we were very young children, photos of the children that she went on to have, and even little . . . → Read More: Picture Board

This guy’s voice and lyrics move me in a deeply spiritual way, which would explain why I just bought tickets to see him in Nashville next month. Yay!!

Oh, we’re a little closer now
And finding what life’s all about
Yeah, I know you just can’t stand it
When things don’t go your way
But we’ve got no control over . . . → Read More: James Morrison – "Please Don't Stop The Rain"
