Here’s a powerful song by Mark Schultz called “Letters from War” that still gets to me because so many of our young men and women are still in Iraq. It hit home for me the night we went to dinner and we saw this young woman with baby twins eating all alone. We started talking…
My favorite Sarah McLachlan song is “Possession” which is such a haunting and passionate song. Like so many of her songs, it’s poetic and full of emotion. Plus, she never looked more beautiful than she does in this video. POSSESSION Listen as the wind blows From across the great divide Voices trapped in yearning Memories…
I love The Fray thanks to wonderful songs like “Over My Head” and “How to Save a Life” which gained attention thanks to its use on the popular TV show Gray’s Anatomy. Here’s their latest hit “You Found Me” which just made the top 10 charts. YOU FOUND ME I found God on the corner…
Amanda Marshall’s song “Everybody’s Got a Story” shares a great message about people and the dangers of judging books by its cover. We are all much more complex than meets the eye. Whether its the people we pass walking down the street, the neighbors we live near or the people we work with, we need…
Here’s Alanis Morissette at her absolute best when she performed her incredibly personal and powerful “You Oughta Know” at the 38th Grammy Awards.

One of my favorite MJ songs and live performances is this one he did for “Will You Be There”. Hold me Like the river jordan And I will then say to thee You are my friend Carry me Like you are my brother Love me like a mother Will you be there? Weary Tell me…
The movie “Someone Like You” starring Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman was surprisingly good and entertaining. They were wonderful in their roles as friends who learn that love can be right there under your nose the whole time while searching everywhere for it. It also had some really sweet moments, especially the ending when they…
Switchfoot does a great job with “This is Home”. It makes me think of that old saying “You can’t go home again”. I’ve grown to understand that saying more with time. We can always physically travel back to the place where we grew up, but we can’t ever really go back to that time and…
I know it sounds simplistic and corny but we truly need to do our best every day to count our blessings in life. We all get so busy in our hectic lives with insane family schedules full of school activities and sporting events, not to mention our daily jobs at work and at home. It’s…
