Doubting Thomas
Here’s the video of the Nickle Creek song. It’s groovy. If it’s not embedded on this page, click here instead. Here’s what I wonder – and many others have too. Why do we call him doubting? Weren’t all the other disciples equally questionable? How many of them ran to the tomb to greet the risen […]

Saying Goodbye
So I’m not sure how I feel about this. We were out and about when Lyz sent me a text telling me that Michael Jackson had died. And I’m kind of… I don’t know, I just feel different. I love music. I’m so deeply engaged in music. I say with conviction that I don’t think […]

The other day I walked into the room and Cameron was singing “Santa Clause is Coming to Town.” How cute, right? But it just didn’t seem like he was singing the melody quite right. I kept listening, ’cause it sounded pretty familiar. Then it hit me!! He wasn’t singing the classical Fred Astaire / Mickey […]
