Top Ten Instrumental Reflections
Mar 11, 2010 Instrumental Reflections, podcast
For a while now I have been sharing my Instrumental Reflections with you. These are primarily piano pieces composed and recorded at one sitting, which can be used for prayer times, altar times, devotionals, journaling, nap time or just to relax to.
I began wondering if anyone did listen, and if so which of the reflections were most popular. Here they are listed by month and by year.
Here are the Top 5 Instrumental Reflections for the past month.
Instrumental Reflections #15- Reflections for Lent
Instrumental Reflections #20- Great is Thy Faithfulness
Instrumental Reflections #17- Near the Cross
Instrumental Reflections #16- Hopeful
Instrumental Reflection #21 – On a Hill
Here are the Top 5 Instrumental Reflections for the past year.

Instrumental Reflections #23 – Moving On
Mar 10, 2010 Instrumental Reflections, podcast
So much of my time is spent worrying about things that are in the past. Things that I may have done or said, that I have asked for forgiveness for, opportunities I have missed, but that I keep looking back and holding on to. I am not sure why, but this song kind of reminded me of what it is like to move forward, to move on.
What are those things in your life you need to stop dwelling, and move on?
As you listen to this, think of those things, and pray for God to help you move past the past, and onto what he has in store for your future.
“I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Our days are filled with so many different ups and downs. This song reminded me of all those different themes that run through our daily lives. It also reminds me that God is there to weave those themes into a beautiful melody.
What do you need to do to let God make a beautiful song out of your day today?

Instrumental Reflection #21 – On a Hill
Feb 24, 2010 Devotions and Thoughts, Instrumental Reflections
While I sat down to write this I had the words to the hymn “Old Rugged Cross” stuck in my head. The phrase “On a hill, on a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross, an old rugged cross” kept echoing in my head. That rhythm became the recurring theme of this song.
