fa-la-labulous (my holiday gift favorites)

a song worth seeing
As I mentioned in my last post, I was recently asked to review and blog about a movie that will be coming out September 26th called The Song.

For me, music is joy and grief and healing and God, all set to the very rhythm that my heart beats to.…

jukebox
I have a jukebox that plays in my head. Like constantly. I know this sounds like a lot of fun, but really this is an affliction of sorts. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it can come in handy. Say if I am stuck somewhere a little less entertaining than I would like, I can just turn…
