Best Thing I Heard Today: July 15, 2019
I have to admit that I am a little behind on getting through last Friday’s set of new song releases. I just heard something that I can’t describe. It’s wonderful…but I’m not really sure what it is or how to label it. It’s sort of new age jazz meets alternative pop-folk meets experimental fusion…does that even make sense. I think you just need to give it a listen and decide for yourself. And if you have a better genre description for it let me know. LOL Whatever kind of mix of genres it is, John Mark Pantana‘s song “Day by Day” is the Best Thing I Heard Today! Check it…

The power Jesus demonstrated in His baptism differed from John’s to…

The One Jesus Loves
When I was a child and someone asked me what my name was I would say, “Sheila Davina Walsh.” My mum would tell me time after time that all I really needed to say was, my name is Sheila but that made no sense to my five-year old brain. There are lots of Sheila’s living in the west coast of Scotland, I figured, I’m the Sheila Davina Walsh one. It’s not a unique line of reasoning. Even Jesus’ friend’s, Mary and Martha attached an add-on to their brother Lazarus’s name. Lazarus was deathly ill and so the sisters sent word to Jesus Lord, the one You love is sick. — John 11:3 (NIV)…
