Lyrically Spoken

• One of my best friends is dying and I can’t even be with her
• Living with the Complex PTSD, as ever
• Not having enough time with my boys, who are quickly becoming men, and [...]

Lyrically Spoken

As some of you know, I’ve been struggling lately. If you follow my blog you may be able to tell just by the fact that I haven’t been around much. I am going through tough trials. The problem is, sometimes I focus on them a bit too much. Sometimes I honestly don’t quite know how to [...]

Lyrically Spoken

Awhile back I bought the double album set, WOW Hymns. Wow is right! All sorts of wonderful hymns sung by contemporary Christian artists; I could listen to the album over and over again.

I love the sound of this Delirious? song, Inside Outside. It reminds me of U2, a secular group I used to listen to. I find myself thinking of this song when I’m feeling a bit detached from the Lord–”You still captivate me, fascinate me, saturate me, Lord, I feel you all around me!” I’m so [...]

There is an [...]

Let Every Creature Sing in Wonder!

I’m listening to my current favorite song, In Wonder, by Newsboys. They are my favorite band and Go is their best album yet! How Peter Furler keeps coming up with such amazing lyrics and the band with such fantastic tunes, I don’t know. What I do know is that this band is so inspiring! Please, [...]

Well Versed

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. Psalms 69:30I have so much to be thankful for, so many reasons to praise God and sing to Him in thanksgiving! Every day of my life is a blessing full of blessings. This past week has been so wonderful, [...]

Reason To Live

As you know, I’ve really been struggling this past month. Something minor (or so I thought at the time) triggered my abuse issues again five weeks ago and it has really wreaked havoc in my life—yet again. The hardest thing for me when dealing with abuse issues is the feeling (and the literal [...]
