Words of Encouragement

Dec 1, 2009 Devotions and Thoughts

When I was in college I was part of a ministry leadership team for a student ministry group. Each week we had a memory verse that we had to memorize and recite at our weekly meeting. These scriptures, ingrained in my head, have been helpful in different situations to offer comfort and encouragement.

Here is one I recited often over the past two weeks through our move to a new house.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”

~ Philippians 4:6-7

Instrumental Reflection #9- It Is Well With My Soul

Oct 7, 2009 Free Stuff, Instrumental Reflections

1. It is Well With My Soul
   by Horatio G Spafford
2. When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
   When sorrows like sea billows roll;
   Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
   It is well, it is well, with my soul.
   • Refrain:
     It is well, with my soul,
     It is well, it is well, with my soul.
3. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
   Let this blest assurance control,
   That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
   And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
4. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
   My sin, not in part but the whole,
   Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
   Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
5. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
   If Jordan above me shall roll,
   No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
   Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
6. But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
   The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
   Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
   Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
7. And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
   The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
   The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
   Even so, it is well with my soul.

Free Song- Piano Peace

Apr 21, 2009 Free Stuff

Since I was taking piano lessons at an early age, I have never really liked being told what to play by a piece of sheet music. I always tended to just sit down and play the melodies that came from my head. In college, as an effort to try and develop my improvising I began an exercise of having someone select 5-8 random notes and I would then compose a piano piece using those notes in that order.
I enjoyed this so much that when I began doing concerts I tried the same thing. I had the opportunity to do this at my last concert in Friendswood. I had the congregation call out some notes and this song was the result. Enjoy.

Download Piano Peace (click to listen, or right click and save as)

My goal for the Summer is to take all the recordings from this concert and put them on a CD but I thought I’d share the tracks with my facebook fans and blog followers first.

Guest Devo: Kerri Crocker- You Against the World

Aug 27, 2008 Devotions and Thoughts, Just for Fun

As I was driving to church yesterday, my eyes were drawn to the clouds and I just had to take a picture! Oddly enough they reminded me of “life”. The large, dense blanket to the right was covering the sky in the distance (a.k.a. our problems, struggles, fears) while the smaller ones looked as if they were pushing their way through… fighting against them so we could enjoy the blue skies (a.k.a. peace, joy, love)
