Thanks to God for my Redeemer, Thanks for all Thou dost provide; Thanks for times now but a memory, Thanks for Jesus by my side.

O The Deep Love of God
The Lord led several of us this year to begin getting more involved with a local church here in Chicago, and it has been precious getting to know the families at Marquette Manor Baptist Church. They invited Jonathan and I to sing in the choir, and Esther has joined the orchestra. Esther was asked to play for […]
Turn the Tide
“Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.” (Psalm 80:7) The Lord gave us this verse as a rhema for the song Turn the Tide that Esther and I have been learning as a duet. Whether the Lord moves miraculously to bring revival to our […]

Violin Workshop Underway!
People started gathering around the baggage claim. More suitcases started their trip around the conveyer belt. I waited. Some people with brief cases, some with children, but only one with, yes! a violin! That’s Jonathan! I eagerly made my way over for a grand reunion. I had come into Dallas the day before on the […]
Life’s Railway to Heaven
Aunt Vickie has always been an encouragement to me in my piano playing. The other day she asked if we would post a video of me playing something so I found this little clip of “Life’s Railway to Heaven.” Jonathan took it while we were staying at the McEntires house on our recent Florida trip. […]
