The Heart of a Sojourner
Sojourner. It is about the journey into the heart of God. This song has been ministering to me, helping me slow down, and remember the pilgrimage is about the journey, and what happens in us and through us in the journey of the pilgrimage.

What is My Offering?
Recently the Lord reminded me of this song I wrote, one of the very first songs after coming to Christ, I was about 20 years old, such a different sound, not like anything I ever heard before.

Delighting in the Law
Among Christians and the secular world, the word "law" has become taboo, evil, or grey at best. If people love rules, they are called "legalists". If people cling to spiritual disciplines, they are categorized "religious" in a negative connotation. But there is something special, almost mystical, about loving the law of God.
