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”
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”
in the middle
“Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I–I hardly know, sir, just at present– at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.” (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,Continue reading “in the middle”
Amy’s Christmas Playlist
Every year I make an iTunes playlist of my favorite Christmas songs–some have been on the album every year since its inception, while others are happy new editions. There are several versions of my playlist before choosing the 20 or so songs that will fit on a CD for the enjoyment of my friends andContinue reading “Amy’s Christmas Playlist”
Friday Faves: OK to NOT be OK Edition
How are you doing? By that I mean, how are you *really* doing? Yesterday the receptionist at one of my doctor’s office (two appointments with doctors in one!!!) asked me this question and I was tired, tearful, and a plain ol’ mess. I thought about saying, “OK,” which would have been a bold-faced lie. IContinue reading “Friday Faves: OK to NOT be OK Edition”
Let my ruins become the ground You build upon
“Let my ruins become the ground you build upon Let my ruins become the start Let my ruins become the ground you build it on From what’s left of my broken heart” “Ruins” by Bebo Norman from Bebo Norman I used to think the Apostle Paul was a madman when he asked fellow believers toContinue reading “Let my ruins become the ground You build upon”
Friday Faves: Dealing with Bummed-Outness Edition
Since I’m going to a Women of Faith conference (full story) this weekend, you’d think I’d be in a great mood. I mean, what a great opportunity to commune with the people of God, right? Absolutely! And I feel the need for it now more than ever. Looking for a church in the area isContinue reading “Friday Faves: Dealing with Bummed-Outness Edition”
Listening to Bebo Norman
I’ve been listening to a lot of Bebo Norman lately. Even though I have piles of new (and wonderful) music to digest, review, and prep for interviews, I continue to listen to my old stand-by Bebo Norman. When I don’t know what else to do and everything seems all mixed-up in my heart and mind,Continue reading “Listening to Bebo Norman”
Friday Faves: Werewolf Attack Edition
I’m ba-ack! Clearly, I’ve been “back” for over a week now, but I think I missed “Friday Faves” the most during my mini-vacation and blogging break.

Now on toContinue reading “Friday Faves: Werewolf Attack Edition”
