Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) has an amazing, limited-time deal on 5 great faith-based movies for only $5. Now, I have seen most of these movies and they are up…

"Dear Heartache" by 7 Hills Worship #Inspiration #Poetry #Worship

Wow! This song, “Dear Heartache” by 7 Hills Worship is powerful. I don’t currently feel this way, but I remembered when I did. Grief is a powerful emotion. Sometimes it can be very dark.

I was listening to this album, released in 2024 by 7 Hills Worship “…Like Poetry” for the first time and this song stopped…

"Better Yet" by Leanna Crawford #Inspiration #Journey #Music

I came across this song, “Better Yet” by Leanna Crawford as I was finishing up my work day and it really struck me. It was a powerful reminder to anyone who has been waiting. Waiting for a spouse. Waiting for a child. Waiting for something promised to come to fruition. It is a hard place to be. I have been there. I am there too. But what I know with more certainty than anything else, is I serve…

There's Nothing by Amanda Cook #Inspiration #Journey #Worship

This was a particularly good song yesterday during a trial I was facing. I was listening to a playlist and this came up and I instantly felt God’s presence and peace. That no matter what, He is always with me, He is always there. It is a song taken from a verse in Romans 8: 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor…

Cats... Spirits Come to Earth #JulesVerne #QuoteoftheDay #Journey
