Blessed Assurance

Second track of Civil War era music in commemoration of the Battle of Gettysburg 150 year anniversary.  This was a song popular among soldiers and reflects a divide in their hearts between a longing for home and loyalty to a cause...to the death.  The battle of Gettysburg left over 50,000 killed wounded or captured over a three day period in July of 1863.


Just Before The Battle

Some say this song is about a woman. To me it is a place. A place with cool breezes ruslting the leaves above and soft grass below. A place on our farm where I would play as a boy, and it became a refuge after a day of tossing hay bales around in the summer heat. My Shady Grove


Shady Grove

I went spelunking with my son's Boy Scout Troop. While in the cave, we all turned our headlamps off. Then lit a candle. We talked about how Jesus is the Light of a dark world. Reminded me of this song. "You're hereto be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.....If I make you light bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand - shine! By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God" Matthew 5 as paraphrased by Eugene Peterson in The Message
