Can You Hear Her Now? Belinda Jane Reaches Out, One Call at a Time
I met Belinda Jane a few years ago at the Indieheaven sponsored Christian Music Conference, ”CIA Summit” in Franklin, Tennessee. Her quick smile and Georgia drawl immediately put me at ease. We recently discussed some new developments in her ministry and her life. Transparent: Tell me about this new phone calling campaign/ministry – ”A Call a [...]

This song, done originally by “The Band” may be one of my earliest musical memories. I am a big fan of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and fell in love with OCMS a few years ago. I hope you enjoy their version.

Strangely in the same week, I had two people tell me that they loved my heart and I had contributed to their life in a positive way, but I certainly didn’t obsess over THEIR statements, so why on EARTH would something like an ‘un-subscription notice’ bother me so much?

The hollow core contained a carefully rolled piece of paper. On it a message had been scrawled in the Czech language: "This is all we can do for you now." A courageous assembly line worker was disarming bombs and scribbled that note. He couldn't end the war, but he could save one plane. He couldn't do everything, but he could do something, and he did it!

When Jesus began talking to the woman at the well (John 4:4–26), he searched for common ground rather than condemning her. As a result, she not only made peace with God, she also brought her friends and family into the presence of Jesus. We see from this example that our friendship with nonbelievers requires that we understand the difference between loving them and loving their ways.

21. September 2009
Over the last few years, I have developed some great mentors. Some of them are the authors for Transparent, some are family members, and others have just showed up, seemingly out of nowhere, to breathe truthful advice into my life. (Thank you by the way). A month or so ago, I reached out to [...]

26. August 2009
Around 1972, in a successful attempt to move out of Detroit, our respective parents bought a house in the country together for $4000, moved in together and split the $60 per month house payment. I was a baby at the time, and had an older brother, and then immediately had another brother and sister! We lived there for almost 5 years.

26. August 2009
This band is Fleet Foxes. I love the harmonies and their sound. From Wikipedia (Must be true!) Fleet Foxes is a five-piece Seattle-based band signed to Sub Pop and Bella Union. The band came to prominence in 2008 with the release of their second EP, Sun Giant, and their debut full length album Fleet Foxes. Both Sun Giant and their eponymous debut album received much critical praise and reviewers often noted their use of refined lyrics and vocal harmonies. The quintet describes its music as "baroque harmonic pop jams".
