Your Monday Muse-Tori Kelly (Sing)

Your Monday Muse-Newsboys
The pastor speaking from the platform this weekend said something so profound to the congregation on Sunday. "God will do what you can't, but not what you won't." Read it again. "God will do what you can't, but not what you won't." Let those

Five Simple Ways To Start Writing

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
