joshua james week

Since I'm getting ready to start school again this week, I thought I'd ring in the new year and new semester by showcasing one of my favorite artists. I posted about him yesterday and have before, but I'm just going to post several of my favorite songs by him. He's not very well known, but I believe he definitely deserves the attention.


"The Garden". Favorite part of this song - haunting lyrics, bass notes on guitar, awesome harmonica solo

winter storm

Things have been quite unusual here in Tucson, wouldn't you agree?
Here's a shot of the SNOW on the mountains from yesterday - so beautiful!!!

I keep being reminded of song by Joshua James called "Winter Storm". Here's the album version on YouTube, but they have a chunk of the song live with an awesome dobro echoing the background.

Ireland on Christmas Eve

On the website called Irish Fireside, about Ireland and Irish travel, they posted some lovely pictures of a woman's trip to Ireland.

Enjoy here :)

If only we were staying in one of those lovely little cabins this Christmas Eve...

home again

This is the view outside. Snowing lightly and cold - absolutely lovely...

this is how the past week has felt

like it was painted around the inside of my head, on my eyelids and such.

It has been such an utterly exhausting week...you know how there's that little bit of anxiety to push you through finals week? Well, for some reason, I don't have that and I'm not sure if I'm going to make it...

Pray for energy, to let go of doing too much, and space...

thanks y'all...

video expressions of thanks to God

I am so grateful for how God has showed up this week, spreading his mercy over me and my students. I really wanted to post Derek Webb's "We Come to You", but it's not on YouTube :(

But these were the other songs that I was thinking about today:

changing gears

this song is only slightly different from my last post (sarcasm).

but his lyrics are very interesting and his music intrigues me, which is intriguing in and of itself because I don't really like hip-hop...
