Originally published September 21, 2010. Because Bebo Norman is my most-loved singer/songwriter, I’m sharing this article again. It was one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever done. Bebo is gracious, humble, and he uses music and word to cut to my heart. I’m sad he’s retired. By the way, don’t bother with any of the links because they’reContinue reading “Repost: Hitchhiking with Bebo Noroman”

Broken and Not So Broken
“God, I’m in the place again/I’m trying so hard not to fall/But everything keeps coming down with the rain.”–Everyday Sunday I’ve always appreciated melancholy songs. There’s something about the toned down, raw nature of a rock band that grips my heart and makes me pay attention, like KISS’s “Beth” or Five Iron Frenzy’s “Every NewContinue reading “Broken and Not So Broken”
Music Review: Light for the Lost Boy by Andrew Peterson
Sometimes it’s a couple of days or even weeks before I dig through the pre-releases in my “to be reviewed” pile to find the right mood music. However, in the case of Andrew Peterson’s latest, Light for the Lost Boy, I gave a giddy shout and popped the album in my vehicle’s CD player asContinue reading “Music Review: Light for the Lost Boy by Andrew Peterson”
Prone to Wander
When I first learned that I broke my foot, I comforted myself with the thought of lying about my apartment—in bed, on the couch—reading, watching documentaries on NetFlix, catching up on my mental to-do list, and writing my little heart out. I haven’t finished one book, watched one documentary, written a to-do list, yet IContinue reading “Prone to Wander”
Redeemed by DaySpring
When I signed up to to review one of DaySpring’s (in)spired deals for April, I didn’t plan on posting my review on the very last day of the month, a week later than requested by the powers that be. I didn’t know that my foot would be rockin’ a cam boot or that my heartContinue reading “Redeemed by DaySpring”
Friday Faves: The Surprise! Edition
Aren’t you elated?! It’s been months (or at least a month) since I did Friday Faves (FF) and I didn’t originally plan on putting together FF today, but some days I just surprise myself as well as my readers! Since I just gave you an update on my life, I thought I’d share an amusingContinue reading “Friday Faves: The Surprise! Edition”
Book Review:: You’re Already Amazing by Holley Gerth
Since Holley Gerth writes for DaySpring cards (and co-founded (in)courage) it seems cliché to say that her book, You’re Already Amazing, is like receiving an unexpected greeting card saturated with wisdom and thoughtfulness only a dear friend could write. But that’s exactly what reading You’re Already Amazing is like! Gerth engaged me with her girlfriendContinue reading “Book Review:: You’re Already Amazing by Holley Gerth”
Feature:: Paul Baloche: The Same Love
“There are a lot of songs about the Cross on this record. People are almost apologetic about it, and yet I feel challenged not to shrink from it. Our tendency is to make our language inclusive and seeker friendly. And I get that, but we also need songs that point to the truth of theContinue reading “Feature:: Paul Baloche: The Same Love”
Coming Home: Thoughts on my church membership
Clearly, this is not me. This is just how I feel. 🙂 Sunday. For the past 7 years, it has been the day I perused the newspaper ads, the afternoon I went shopping or ran errands, the evening I feared what the week could hold. But it was NOT the day of the week IContinue reading “Coming Home: Thoughts on my church membership”
Starfield triumphantly returns with THE KINGDOM
Right now, I’m listening to Starfield’s brand spankin’ new album, The Kingdom, which just happens to release today! Even though Starfield’s lead man, Tim Neufield, emailed me about it weeks ago, you know how I am—behind in all things. (Though I’m sure that Tim can share in the blame. Touring, spending time with his family…whatContinue reading “Starfield triumphantly returns with THE KINGDOM”
