The Daily Pulse (Tuesday, May 7, 2013): For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)

The Daily Pulse (Sunday, May 5, 2013): And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. Hebrews 13:12-13 (NIV)
Karen Lynne is a bluegrass singer/songwriter from Australia. She is awesome. She recently recorded a gospel bluegrass album called "Shine Your Light" (see Matthew 5:16), which I don't believe has been released yet, but she was kind enough to send me a preview copy. I was hooked by the very first song, "Little Mountain Church House", written by Carl Jackson and Jim Rushing. Very touching lyrics. What imagery.
Yeah, I know, I already created a video for this song as recorded by Ricky Skaggs. There are no rules here (well, that's not true, there are lots of rules, but not one that applies to this situation), I can cheat and make another video with the same pictures and different music.
Anyway, thank you Karen, this is a wonderful rendition. And the musicians are fantastic, too.
I heard this song on Lisa Daggs' weekly radio show "Reality Check" on 103.9 The Fish in Sacramento. It's from her album "Forgiveness Is A Powerful Thing" (and, yes, it is). I used some artistic license and interpreted it as a song about a Down's Syndrome girl, but it could go many different directions. But that was what I envisioned. Very cool song. Thank you, Lisa! Written by James Hudson and C. Evan Leonard. Hope I did it justice.
This is from Hillsong United's album "Zion". The overtone is about the scene of Peter being called by Jesus to walk on the water, and he did, but then he temporarily lost faith and started to sink. He called on Jesus to rescue him, and Jesus did. In the bigger picture, sometimes our faith in God wanes a little bit, and then we struggle. We can't do it on our own. But when we put our full trust in Him, He responds. Always.
Written by Matt Crocker, Joel Houston, and Salomon Ligthelm. A beautiful solo by Taya Smith, a new voice to me. Refreshing.
I already made a video of this song with Chris Tomlin's rendition. This is pretty much the same video,but with Matt Maher singing (he is one of the co-authors of the song). He's accompanied by the supremely talented Audrey Assad. Yes, Lord, we definitely need You. We are lost without You.
This is such a beautiful song, sung by Karen Lynne.She is so good! Come on people, check out her music. She is outstanding. This is from her album "Shine Your Light", which has not yet been released worldwide, but hopefully soon.
Karen Lynne is an Australian bluegrass singer. She recently recorded a gospel bluegrass album. I don't think it's been released yet, but Karen sent me a pre-release copy. It's fabulous; every track is a winner, which is rare. Here is a video I made for her version of "A Living Prayer", written by Ron Block of Alison Krauss' band. Wonderful.
My father passed away recently. In going through his stuff I stumbled across a wonderful CD by Marie Barlow Martin and Gordy Martin. Lots of wonderful gospel music. The name of the CD is "How Can I Keep From Singing" (no, not the Chris Tomlin song). There are many good songs on the CD. One of my dad's favorite hymns was "He Leadeth Me", so I made this video for the song. I love Christian music, I love the old hymns, I love bluegrass, and so this is pretty much a perfect song. Thank you Marie and Gordy.
My wife is part of an informal walking group composed of fellow Christian women friends. Their group is called "Walking With Friends" (they even have a Facebook page by that name). They hike the trails in the Gold Country around Auburn in the Sierra foothills. She likes to take lots of pictures. So I took some of the pictures and made a slideshow. My wife took most of these pictures, but some of the other women also took some of them. Lots of really nice women. They have a blast. I am not allowed to tag along; women only.
This is a song written by Tom T. Hall and his wife Dixie. It is sung by Karen Lynne, a bluegrass singer from Australia. It's from an album that is not yet released called "Shine Your Light". Karen was fortunate enough to have Tom T. help her put it together.
