The Dance
Much Beckstead history is related to this song. When I hear it, I am carried back to days gone by. We lost three important pieces of the family puzzle within about four years. My husband’s nephew, brother and father all left us prematurely. We named our son after all of them, in a way. (Riley is […]

Doin’ Fine
Last weekend, I went to Lauren Alaina’s concert at Cherry Peak (a newer ski resort above Richmond.) It is definitely fall. It was exremely cold! She was the American Idol, Season 10 runner up in 2011. Her music is a fabulous mix of rock and country. Lauren has a genuine and kind heart, and writes […]

How Can I Keep From Singing?
I invited a good friend of mine to guest author this post. I admire her lovable attitude and resilient personality! Meet Anna Sisson… A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to sing in church with my mother. My mother has a beautiful voice, and I have always aspired to sing like her. However, that is […]

VJust Be Held – 6/27/17
I really adore this song! Casting Crowns is an incredible gospel group. It’s about a broken time in our lives, and what we need to do for peace. It reminds us we are not alone in our struggles. We are ‘held‘ by The One that loves us the most. I imagine if you saw my […]

Consider the Lilies – 6/20/17
As part of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches the people who have gathered around. In Matthew 6, He is telling them that God loves and provides for everyone in His own way. Verse 28 says, “And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, (it’s a parable) how they […]

Never Gonna Let You Down – 6/13/17
“Never Gonna Let You Down” is an up beat song by Colbie Calliat that just makes you feel incredible! I love her, and her songs are so inspiring. It’s message is of loyalty, love and hope. (Just what I need to hear!) This song makes me reminiscent of so many people in my life. It […]

Gethsemane – 6/6/17
Gethsemane took on a new meaning to me after the stroke. I began to truly see just a bit of the agony Christ endured that night as he prayed alone in proxy for us and agonized in that garden. Imagine one person’s pain, suffering, and sins a trillion times over! (Actually I can’t imagine.) He […]

Walkin’ on Sunshine – 5/30/17
I took Monday, Memorial Day, off from writing to give my family all my attention. I stayed at home Sunday night. We had a campfire under the stars, and many sunny walks. Oodles of fun were had. (I need a rest.) We spent exceptional quality time together. It was a wonderful long weekend! The song […]

Be Still My Soul – Tunes Tuesday 5/23/17
This hymn speaks to me. In this time, when I have many quiet hours to think, “What if this, what if that?” It helps me remember to relax, take it easy, it will be fine. The first line: “Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side.” The Lord really is looking out for […]

Things Can Only Get Better – Tunes Tuesday 5/16/17
When someone asks who’s your favorite singer, I say, “Howard Jones.” The younger generation replies, “Who?” (Darn kids ya!) People my age say, “Cool!” I sang along to his catchy melodies all through high school and beyond. My kids are familiar with his music, thanks to me. I attended two of his concerts, and you […]

I Need Thee Every Hour – Tunes Tuesday 5/9/17
When someone like me must depend on so many imperfect people, who are just doing their best, you quickly realize where the number one source of strength originates. I Need Thee Every Hour is a humbling hymn. I turn my needs in my life over to the Lord. Some may ask, “Do you mean God […]

How Great Thou Art – Tunes Tuesday 5/2/17
This song has been a favorite of mine for quite awhile. It’s one of those songs that transcends religion. It speaks to all Christians, “with shout of acclamation.” Carrie Underwood sings it beautifully.

Tell Your Heart To Beat Again – Tunes Tuesday 4/25/17
I have to introduce you to one of my favorite songs. I loved it before the stroke, now, it has a whole new meaning to me. (Big time!) He wrote it about a heart patient that was repaired, but her heart was still not beating. The doctor told her, “Its all up to you now.” […]

You Raise Me Up – Tunes Tuesday 4/18/17
I am changing this day to write about songs. I’m not a foodie so Tasty Tuesday wasn’t fun for me anymore. I have been thinking about Josh Groban’s ” You Raise Me Up,” because it is beautiful. (It makes me cry.) I think about Christ who spiritually raises me. He knows my struggles, and let’s […]
