Instrumental Reflection #22- The End of the Day
Mar 9, 2010 Instrumental Reflections, podcast
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.

Instrumental Reflection #14- Jennifer’s Bridal Entrance
Jan 18, 2010 Free Stuff, Instrumental Reflections
This past weekend I had the honor of playing for a friends wedding. This is the song that I wrote for the Bridal party to enter into. This recording is the actual live recording. If you listen in the background you can hear some shuffling feet when the grooms enter the room, and also at the end the pastor begins the service. The piano waits about 15 seconds before it starts.

Congratulations Jennifer and Austin. You are in my prayers as you begin your wonderful life together.

Instrumental Reflection #12- O Come O Come Emmanuel
Nov 13, 2009 Free Stuff, Instrumental Reflections, podcast
This week I am starting with the first of my Christmas instrumental reflections. My original plan was to have 8-10 of these done by Thanksgiving. With moving and other things, that has been pushed back a little bit. I do plan to get them out as soon as possible though, so keep listening. If you have a suggestion for a Christmas instrumental reflection send it in to me. I will choose one name, from those who leave suggestions, to send a CD with all the holiday instrumental reflections to when I am done.
