Just because I had fun keeping track yesterday, I did it again today. These are the albums that followed me through my workday today:
Bob Bennett – The View From Here
Caedmon’s Call – 40 Acres
Carrie Underwood – Some Hearts
David Ruis – Every Move I Make
Jacob Moon - Landing

Writing for Redemption
Once again I received emailed words of wisdom from Henri Nouwen, and I'm passing them along to you.
Writing to Save the Day
Writing can be a true spiritual discipline. Writing can help us to concentrate, to get in touch with the deeper stirrings of our hearts, to clarify our minds, to process confusing emotions, to reflect on our experiences, to give artistic expression to what we are living, and to store significant events in our memories. Writing can also be good for others who might read what we write.
Quite often a difficult, painful, or frustrating day can be "redeemed" by writing about it. By writing we can claim what we have lived and thus integrate it more fully into our journeys. Then writing can become lifesaving for us and sometimes for others too.
