PLAYLIST
Where would we be without music? What a heavenly gift ... to express ourselves in song. Music can teach you, music can touch you, and music can describe how you're feeling at any time during your life. The songs I have chosen to share are specifically for this website ... there are just too many to choose from. I hope that you will send one of your favorites and tell how it related to a significant "spiritual" time in your life.
MY FAVORITE:
I have enjoyed so many songs throughout the years ... and just like life, our taste in music is always evolving. Someone's favorite song might be happy and upbeat and remind them of a good time in the past or a joyful celebration. Someone might think of a sad song that brings back memories of a loved one. Or someone else could simply pick a song from their favorite movie. As for me, I knew my favorite song the very first time I heard it ... it will never change. Something in the chords and the words just "spoke" to me. It is an anthem about peace and the futility of war ... the song is written from the standpoint of a soldier who lies wounded and dying on a mountain far away from home. My favorite song of all time is BROTHERS IN ARMS by Dire Straits. What's yours?
