Video Fun and Games
The last couple of projects I’ve worked on have dealt with the visual arts. Let me help you to understand the irony of this.

God Will Provide a Lamb; and a cantata finally finished
Last night was a landmark for me… I actually finished something. Something big. And complicated. And boy am I patting myself on the back!
For the earth is the Lord’s…
Thanksgiving. And an arrangement of “This is My Father’s World.”
It’s a good thing they recycle those youth themes… ;)
The new song this time supports this year’s youth theme:
“…stand ye in holy places and be not moved …”.
I love it when a plan comes together.
For as long as I have known Heather Prusse and James Loynes, I have wanted… longed… ached… to get their voices together on a song or two. Finally, with this latest new song, we managed it.
