This picture from two years ago showed up in my Facebook memories. It looks like I was on it that year. This December? So far, I have the tree out (only because my son and daughter-in-law put it up for me on Saturday) and half-decorated, no village yet, a few snowmen, and that’s about it. My […]

Happy Thanksgiving to us. We’ve been partying for several days because that’s just how we roll around here.

This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. “A Christmas Alleluia” is now available on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, and all the platforms. (To watch the lyric video, click here.) Megan: beautiful singing as always. Isaac: love the harmonies; you two sound great together. Ken: kind of fun to record in the home studio, eh? Dallas: […]

I sent a copy of this picture to my bestie today and said, “Oh my goodness, can I look any uglier? The shirt doesn’t cover my boobs and don’t let me cut my bangs like that ever again.” (My mom used to tell me constantly that I “looked so much better in short hair.” Yeah, […]

I released this lyric video two weeks ago. It has 866 views in that short time. (After four years, my video for “Forever Changed” has 700-something views.) What the heckerville? I thought it was a typing error , so I checked my analytics. Apparently, people in the United States, Phillipines, India, and Bangladesh are watching […]

I’ve mentioned before that the last time I did a concert was in May of 2022. Tonight, this group of people got together and we sang and played for a solid hour and a half. I wasn’t nervous at all—even when I stood up to give my testimony—and I’m sure I didn’t smile much ha […]

I taught piano lessons to a cow today. She did well.
