This song was written for the August Songwriting Challenge for the WCS Songwriting Club. Honestly, I waited until the last minute and didn’t have a lot of time so it feels like a rough draft for me! It definitely has potential 🙂  The song is basically about being frustrated with this life.  Dealing with sin,…
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kazo2g8RoA?rel=0] This song was written for week #8 of the WCS Songwriting Club. I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to participate in the songwriting club that I started!

KC Turner Songwriter Club – Challenge #3 [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JGN9-vk_JE] Behind the Music “I Never Left“ was song assignment #3 in KC Turner’s Songwriting Club. We had to use it as the title and in the lyrics and had one week to write, perform, and share the song. The chorus came to me on the first day…
I can’t promise to keep up this pace, but this week’s SFTO episode is another original. Hopefully someday in the near future a full studio version will be released because the acoustic version doesn’t quite capture the energy of the song. This song makes its stage debut on the same day this post is published….
I’m pleased to give you my first original song since my niche original, “In Good Hands”. This week’s SFTO episode describes what some of us go through when we are faced with an opportunity to give of ourselves to help someone else. This song made its debut at our church’s Leadership Community Gathering as part…
