e all remember our first time. Some persuading, a little awkward fumbling, bated breath, high expectations, followed by a sense of elation and perhaps an apology. And for once I'm not talking about paradise by the dashboard light. I'm talking about a guitar riff. Rochester musician JJ Lang remembers his first. It was played on a $40 Harmony guitar. He was 18.

I love how the Spirit inspires me! As I am finishing up writing a song that has the dove as it's centerpiece, I get a call to provide music at a women's conference. Second talk of the day: "Finding shelter under His wings". If that's not a sign, I don't know what is!  God is good! All the time!…

Ever just get excited about what you're doing to grow God's kingdom?  I sure do.  I love the feeling when I perform and someone comes up to me and says, "That was just what I needed to hear today!".  Those moments are when I know without a doubt, that God is with me and is allowing me to be a vessel for His message to someone else.  It is humbling and energizing at the same…
