Bring it On!

I’ve had a rough couple of years. I started this one out in the hospital thinking that 2011 wasn’t looking too good. So it was a surprise today when I heard this song and it struck me that I was actually feeling happy again, feeling like the world wasn’t dark. I could see sunshine in my heart again, and look at the past few years without cringing. I suspect this is going to be my new favorite song.

The first time I heard it, I was in a room full of people who had just survived a flood. The joy that filled their voices touched me deeply then. I think I get it now!

So, today I’ll share a video with you:

    I started leaking in church yesterday. During worship. I was sitting … and then standing … and singing … and then I was crying. Not boo-hoo, wailing tears, but the silent kind that slip down your cheeks in a river and slowly soak into your clothing. Drip. Drip. I wasn’t sad. The moment was simply…

  • Library Science

    One of the biggest challenges as an independent writer — at least for me — is getting books into the library system. I have spent hours researching this. There are many companies that offer to do this for me for a large fee. I’ve gone through different procedures for getting included, always to be told,…
