Hymns: Graves into Gardens

In this series, I take a brief look at very modern worship songs. My preferred hymns are generally the old ones or the new choruses that I remember from my early years as a new believer, back in the 1980’s. I’ve only recently become familiar with 21st Century songs. I like to be positive, but … Continue reading Hymns: Graves into Gardens

Hymns: 2016 Memories

I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 36th in the series πŸ˜€. I’m getting old. 2016 began with the death of David Bowie and ended with the death of George Michael.

But I realize that there’s quite a few over the past decade that I’m only learning now. I don’t play music in church anymore, but I like to play songs … Continue reading Hymns: Goodness of God

Hymns: 2015 Memories

I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 35th in the series πŸ˜€. Back in the 1970s, the 1960s felt way way back. Now, 2015 almost feels like yesterday. It’s true what Pink Floyd sang in Time. “Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time, plans … Continue reading Hymns: 2015 Memories
