The Inspirations – “Jesus is Coming For Me” (1992)
In 1992, the Inspirations released this recording. It’s an obscure recording during a very transitional time in the group, and one that is very hard to find. Nonetheless, it’s a unique piece of their dynamic history.
Faithful vs. Famous

The Kingsmen – “The Judgement” (1989)
With some personnel changes happening in the Kingsmen, “The Judgement” was a bit of a transitional recording for the Kingsmen, yielding one of their most unique and most remembered songs in their entire repertoire! Check out my review, and let me know your thoughts!
The Inspirations – “Twentieth Anniversary” (1984)
By 1984, the Inspirations were celebrating 20 years as a group, releasing this classy album. One of my personal favorites from this era, it’s a wonderful piece of history from the legendary Inspirations!
The Inspirations – “The Wonder of Wonders” (1983)
For their 20th Canaan album, the Inspirations enjoyed great success with the title song from this 1983 release. It’s one of the more laid-back album, but was a great one, nonetheless!

VIEWS AND COMMENTARY
Streaming, Vinyl growing; CD’s dying (or are they…?)
A recent article in Rolling Stone postulates that vinyl records are on track to outsell compact discs for the first time in over 30 years. They cite as evidence the Recording Industry Association of America's 2019 mid-year report, which indicates CD sales have...
Diana’s YouTube Stats 2019
Another year has passed since I performed this analysis. Although I don't think I went to as many concerts or posted as many new vidoes as last year, it's interesting to see what people chose to watch. This first group is for the total number of views since the...

Looking Through His Eyes
My mom used to sing a song which said: Let me see this world, dear Lord, as though I were looking through Your eyes A world of men who don't want You, Lord, but a world for which You died I've not heard that song for years but it comes back to me from time to time....

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing (James 1:2-4). I am like everyone else. I have...
I Wish We’d All Been Ready
Last night, I had a different topic in mind that I planned to write on this morning. But around 5:00 this morning, the song "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" began going through my head. When I woke up a couple hours later, I looked it up on YouTube and listened to the...
Sin Has Consequences
"That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been; and God requires an account of what is past" (Ecclesiastes 3:15). I feel like, in many churches, more emphasis is placed on God's forgiveness as opposed to His holiness. I am so grateful for God's...

Yahweh Is My Strength
Yesterday, someone on Facebook asked for prayer requests. I asked prayer for strength and wisdom. I'm currently reading through Psalms so when I read Chapter 28 this morning, verse 7 caught my eye: "The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I...
Are You Too Busy?
After a busy week, I am thankful to have a day to be still and know that He is God. I know people who live their lives not having time for God, relationships, or anything else besides what keeps them busy. Sometimes they don't even know what those things are; they...
