Reflection, Redirection
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, July 20, 2011
Our summer is going so great—lots of fun and action and activity.
But there is also lots of fatigue. Summertime, while wonderful, can also be exhausting.
This song was an effective “reset” for me this afternoon when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the noise and speed of my day. I hope it helps you too, if you are in need of a deep cleansing breath.
Feel Like Crying?

Tim Dunn’s mom sent me an email with a link to this video. Here is what she told me about it:
“This is my son who works in campus ministry at Xavier University. He wrote this song for his twin brother’s wedding. It is a reflection of what happens when family relationships are valued and cultivated in our daily lives.”
I think you’ll agree he has reason to be proud of her big boys.

As Lately We Watched
As lately we watch’d o’er our fields thro’ the night,
A star there was seen of such glorious light.
All thro’ the night, angels did sing
Carols so sweet of the birth of a King.
A King of such beauty was ne’er before seen,
And Mary His mother so like a queen.
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn,
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born.
His throne is a manger, His court... READ MORE
Tenth Day of Christmas

Lo, How A Rose
Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming from tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse’s lineage coming, as men of old have sung.
It came, a floweret bright, amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
Isaiah ’twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind;
With Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind.
To show God’s love aright, she bore to men a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
The shepherds... READ MORE

I Am So Happy on Christmas Eve!

Do you know this sweet Norwegian carol? Listen to the melody here if not.
Er Saa Glad Hyer Julekveld
I am so glad each Christmas Eve,
The night of Jesus’ birth!
Then like the sun the Star shone forth,
And angels sang on earth.
The little Child in Bethlehem,
He was a King indeed!
For He came down from heaven above
To help a world in need.
He dwells again in heaven’s realm,
The Son of God today;
And... READ MORE

Susan Boyle Sings Wild Horses
Posted by Danielle Bean in Reviews on Tuesday, September 15, 2009
We’ve talked about Susan Boyle here before. But have you heard her new single, Wild Horses?
I am thrilled that she chose to do this particular song because I have always recognized the potential for beauty in the the Rolling Stones version, and yet it never quite did it for me. This does, though. Beautiful stuff.
