Music Monday- The Franz Family

Maybe I am late on the scene but I recently found
this jewel of a family!! The Franz Family and WOW!!
I could listen to them all day. I do not yet know all
that much about them but if you watch all their videos,
you will see that all of the children play various
instruments. And I love how the parents are in the
back ground supporting them in instrument and love.
If you watch closely, you will see the parents glowing
from time to time.

I think I can say for all of us that I aspire to
have a family with my children that is this bonded.
Maybe for some it would not necessarily be musical
but I know that I look forward to the day when my
children are grown and I can look on them with pride
like these parents as they give back their talents.

Music Monday- Anthem Lights

Alrighty it is has been a week since I posted. But back to
it this week with Music Monday and a song for all of 
you ladies out there. And well I guess you men too. Take
some notes fellas. A fairly new group of handsome 
young guys called Anthem Lights! 


What I love most about these guys, is their love for Christ.
Nothing unmanly about making a stand for the Lord.
The song I am posting today is not actually their song.
(But you should take a listen to all of their music 
because you cannot go wrong with any of their songs.
Each guy in this group could stand on his own but
together is WOW!!) Today's song  is a cover from 
Bruno Mars and I think they kill it!! 
They are singing about how men should love women. 
AND the fact that you know that they love Jesus makes
it even well... hotter! I respect this song SOOO much more 
coming from these God fearing men then I do coming
from the one who actually wrote it. 

  Ladies, you want a man who loves you for who
you are inside and out. A man that sees your true
beauty. A man that loves you with a real love that
expects nothing in return. And I personally believe
that men who love Christ with all that they are, will
know better how to love you with all that they are.


AND you are welcome!!

Music Monday- Brooke Fraser

Many of us hear Brooke Fraser on the radio

every day but may not know her name. At least

I didn't. Brooke Fraser is from Hillsong which

is a church in New Zealand. Many of us know 

her from her song Hosanna, which rocks. This 

woman is a wonderful example, to me, of being 

in the world but not of it. She has been on the 

scene in New Zealand since she was 17. She was 

writing songs and performing as a teenager. She 

has toured with John Mayer. She plays piano and 

guitar and sings and write songs and, and, and... 

But what I love about her is that it is never 

a secret that she is in love with Christ. 

The song I am posting today for Music Monday, she

wrote. I like this song for so many reasons. First,

the video is beautiful. Second, for some reason I

love that all of the string players are elderly. 
Really goes along with the songs theme of loving 
Christ for life. Each string player is playing

so beautifully and with such heart.I also like 
that even though she has an amazingly powerful 
voice, she does not blast it in this song. It is 
very personal and very intimate. A love song, 
if you will, for her savior. Lastly, I love that 
she reminds me that being a Christian is not about 
keeping score of the good and bad that we do. 
It is about a relationship it is about wanting only 
Christ with all that we are.

Have a blessed week everyone and remember

it is not about the Arithmetic!

Music Monday

It is Music Monday again and I have a great tune for us 
to start our week! I have had a rough couple weeks and 
every time I hear this song on the radio I crank it up
because it is such a huge encouragement to me. Mainly
because it is a great song, in my opinion. But also because
Shawn McDonald, the writer has an amazing story. Adopted
by his grandparents, in his teen years he started to rebel 
big time and got in with the wrong crowd and started down 
the road of drugs. Then he came to Christ!! And immediately
the drugs were no longer a desire for him. In a moment, like it 
should be, his life was changed. And the amazing part was 
he had never played a guitar in his life! In a few short years 
he went from learning the guitar to being a well known 
Christian artist that you and I hear on the radio several times 
a day. God has a plan for each of us and He can do amazing
things through us when we focus our lives on Him.

We can rise from our troubles because He who is in us
is greater than he who is in the world! Have a blessed
week!!

Music Monday

"I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water."     Ray Charles


A beautiful young lady I know has reminded me that it is time to 
get back in the saddle and start blogging again. I have been going
over in my mind for a while what can I blog about. I have thought in
the past that I would like everyday to be a day where I explore one 
of the things that I know about. So why not start the week off with 
music hence music monday because music is my first love. 
I completely identify with the quote by Ray Charles, music is who I am, 
it is a part of my genetic make up. I cannot live without it. On Mondays 
I am going to try to hook you up with some tunes that make the start 
of your week good and gives you hope. Music is my go to, to make 
everything better. 


I am so excited one of my favorite vocalist has made her first music videos and it is one of my favorite songs that she does. This is one of my go to songs when the world is beating me up. Just what I needed  for this week as I am facing some challenges right now and just needing the reminder that even though I feel like I am in the valley, He is here to comfort me. He is for me and He is for you!

Blessings for a beautiful week and tune in tomorrow for Allergy Tales Tuesday!
