I come to you live from my wreck of a studio in the midst of rearranging! Do you ever do that? You want to feel like a fresh start, so you rearrange all the furniture or the desk or whatever? 

Well, I took a break from that to wrap up 2020. 

It's healthy to ask ourselves questions from time to time because it helps us take a look from the outside. Join me for this post-Thanksgiving episode that looks back on 2020 to help us start looking forward to 2021 and making it all we can for the glory of God!

So here's a question I get a lot: how do I write lyrics? I'm going to give you just a random smattering of ideas, tips, and methods that I use to help jar that creative side loose. Our co-writer Lauri Lou Jones chimes in with some observations of her own as well!

How about we step away from the charged-up situations and see what God's Word has to say about what it means to play favorites? What's the main issue? Is it wrong to notice differences in people? Settle in for a simple discussion from the Bible.

I'll show you the finished product of a process that has taken me most of 2020. I'll also share with you something Ron Hamilton did for me that no one knows about until now.

This is a simple song that a lot of people take for granted. I wanted it to sound "informal," so I made up an arrangement in my head! Join me as I talk you through it.

Another excellent arrangement of this timeless hymn favorite. I'm going through my A Cappella Hymns album, and this one is deceptively simple yet complex. 

I'm walking through a fantastic a cappella arrangement by Don Hart that I recorded on my A Cappella Hymns album. Originally recorded by GLAD, I had to add my own spin on it when the sheet music had other ideas.

I'm starting a new series of going behind the music I've recorded. I'm kicking off the new series with my a cappella arrangement of an all-time favorite hymn, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." Join me as I deconstruct the arrangement and point out some interesting items along the way.
