Spontaneous Worship
Not too long ago my Pastor spoke to me after a service and said, “I felt you had a song in your heart. The next time the Lord gives you a song during worship, don’t keep it to yourself”. Of course, I immediately freaked out at the idea. Did he really want me to make …
Don’t Make David’s Mistakes
I’ve done a lot to solidify my voice as a writer. I love sarcasm and wit, and I employ those devices regularly in my writing. This particular article won’t have any of either. I don’t enjoy writing things that aren’t funny, but I believe this subject deserves attention. And so few people are willing to …

Monday Musings // Being Honest
“You sounded great. You’re getting better!” “Every time…” I think to myself. My worship pastor is awesome at encouraging his musicians.

Monday Musings // Things Go Wrong

It seems like every time this happens, it happens …
