Recently I was having a go at the term ‘good luck’. From time to time I come across phrases and sayings that tickle me silly for one reason or another. I think of them and then think a bit more about them and get a quizzical look on my face that slowly changes to bafflement […]
Read More Safe and SoundLike The Winans, The Clark Sisters are a group that is often highlighted as the standard of great gospel music. For their time they were ground-breaking and there are many artists and singers who have been inspired by their harmonies, great vocals and crucially their great songs. They were among the artists in my mother’s […]
Read More Pray For The USA – The Clark SistersDon Moen. Don’t know him. Heard some of his songs, still don’t know him. Seen him in a few videos and still don’t know him. What I will say about the fella, though, is that he knows how to put together a good song for the purpose of engaging our hearts and minds to the […]

It is ongoing communication with God and it works. By works I don’t mean it as the magic genie that grants all the wishes. I mean it as that vital element of life that allows me to share […]
Read More Lay Hands & Alleluia – Larry Gaitlin and Gaitlin BrothersI did a public prayer for the first time in ages recently and it was weird. Weird in the sense that there are certain factors that you consider when you do a public prayer that you might not consider in a private closet prayer. In as much as it’s a prayer to God on behalf […]
Read More Real PrayerThere is a very real danger of loving music for the effect it has on you and so leaning more towards music power rather than the power of the spirit of the song itself especially as expressed in the truth of the words that make it. I believe in the therapeutic power of music and […]
Read More This Is The Time – Terry MacAlmonSo still on the relationship trip that we’ve been on for a few days now and there’s something marvellous about the relationship we develop with God that moves us beyond piety and pretence to desperation and admitted nakedness.
