Handel’s Messiah Part 3 – THE Hallelujah Chorus
My favorite of the all! The Hallelujah Chorus! If you don’t know the story behind it, you will laugh a little at this.
So Handel and the musicians of the day were to perform the entire Messiah for the King…
Back to the Word
So, I am finding out more and more as I go along that most people really want to have time for God. We want to have time to pray, really pray. And time to dig deeper into His Word on a daily basis. But, we have been taught that God is patient. So since our kids, our husbands, our jobs, our very culture isn’t patient, we procrastinate on digging deeper…
Handel’s Messiah Part 2 – Since By Man Came Death
I love that the songs are comprised of Bible verses and not only tell the story of Christmas, as we call it, but also lay out the gospel plan of salvation for everyone.
A tad bit of history: The king asked Handle to write a composition for Easter. Handel lived at the same time as Bach. But Handel was a bit more passionate about his work and the king liked his style…
Handle’s Messiah Part 1 – All We Like Sheep

FINISH ALL YOU HAVE STARTED
No, I’m not talking about us… goodness, my Momma was the greatest at starting to read books. She had over thirty books in her bookshelves in varying degrees of progress…
A HOT MESS, PART THREE
Let me start by pointing something out: it doesn’t matter if the mess was handed to you or forced on you by someone else, and it doesn’t matter if the mess was of your own making. A hot mess is a hot mess…
So, in recap from part one, being a hot mess isn’t necessarily a bad thing. We have all been there. It’s what we all have in common; what bring us together.
And it’s what brought God near and Jesus down to save us.
So we get the idea in our heads that we will live… let me hear you say it with me…
Have you ever really thought about where this phrase, ‘a hot mess’ came from? Interestingly enough, I watched a sermon just the other day that spoke about its origins.
In the 19th century, it had to do with…
Are You Offended?
Are you offended by something or someone? If not, you are for sure in the minority in our culture today.
I read a quote yesterday from Bobby Schuller. It said, “We’ve taught people to be offended instead of…
