Your Monday Muse October 2019-Lincoln Brewster

Your name is given to you by your parents. You don't get to choose it. It's a gift. And, it's how others know you, identify you, and how they speak to you and call out to you. But, have you ever learned

Your Monday Muse-Hillsong United

Music Monday: Christmas Volume 2
It's the week of Christmas! Only 5 more days until the pitter-patter of feet rushing toward stuffed stockings, decorated trees, and warm kitchens (coffee anyone?!). In the background you might also have on the annual holiday parade or Christmas tunes
Music Monday: Christmas Volume 1
I love Christmas music. Plain and simple. I could listen to it all year because there are so many different versions, artist renditions, and new songs to hear. I actually get frustrated with my local radio stations at this time of
