Back in Action

I said I’d be back blogging on Dec. 1st. My Dec. 1st is sizing up to be quite the hectic day, so I thought I had better write this article the night before…since i know so many out there are pining for more nonsense from me. I’d hate to disappoint

I know it as a world where God is good and He is [...]

What a night.

I’ve always held Handel’s Messiah up to be a great piece of musical literature. Since the first time I heard the Hallelujah Chorus, to the performance in Seminary with the Oratorio Chorus and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, to last night…
