Grammy Roots Gospel Album Category Questioned
What in tarnation is going on?
USB Flash Drives – An Unnecessary Compromise?
Are USB albums an elegant solution, or is it a stop-gap to allow artists to still get paid for a physical product, even if that physical format has a limited life span?
SONY’S DEVOTIONS
God Will Provide
I am in awe of God's mercy and goodness, but I'm also reminded that "to whom much is given, much is required" (Luke 12:48). God doesn't elevate a person so that the person can become a big shot. Everything He does is so HE can get glory. If you are in ministry, you...
Jesus Is the Resurrection!
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies. ~John 11:25 This morning, I'm thinking of two friends who passed away recently. One was a church greeter who used to greet us on Easter morning with the...

Deliver Us from Evil
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. ~Matthew 6:13 This past week, a man that we used to attend church with was murdered. This has brought up the age-old discussion of, If God could have stopped it, why didn't He? There are things we will never...
Love Them While You Can
In October of 2022, my brother and I were driving home from a speaking event when I realized it wouldn't be very far out of the way to visit a widow friend that I hadn't seen in a few years. I knew my brother would be eager to get home to his family, but I broached...
Doubly Good to You
If you find a love that's tenderIf you find someone who's trueThank the LordHe's been doubly good to you ~Rich Mullins I write a lot about thanksgiving because, for most people, that is not their normal bent. We can receive praise all day long, but it's the person...
We Are So Blessed
We are so blessed by the things You have done,The victories we've won, and what You've brought us through.We are so blessed; take what we have to bring.Take it all everything. Lord, we bring it to you.. If you think about it, the first couple lines of this verse...
Listen to Our Hearts
When words are not enough to tell you of our love Listen to our hearts I've realized lately that "I love you" often sounds insufficient to express how I feel about the people I love. How much harder is it to tell my Savior how much I love Him! I'm glad that the Spirit...
The Kingsmen – “Mississippi Live” (1987)
The final release in the trilogy of live albums is this wonderful live album, where the Kingsmen finally were able to pull-off a recording in Jackson, Mississippi. It’s my personal favorite of the 3 live albums recorded between 1985-1987. Read all about it!
May God Be Glorified
As I sit down to write, I wonder if I have anything of worth to say. It's been over a month since my last post, and part of that is due to life being busy, dealing with stressful situations, and yet making time where I can to draw near to God because He is the One who...
According to Your Word
And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. ~Luke 1:38 I confess that I do not like it when things don't go my way. I may not scream and throw things, but I struggle just the same. I...
