Posted on June 16, 2019 by Mel Wild

For Father’s Day I want to play a spontaneous song by Upper Room that’s more like a meditation, or more accurately, an encounter with our heavenly Father’s love. It’s not a song you sing to, it’s a song you open … Continue reading →

I’ve talked a lot about God and science and faith, so I thought I would briefly talk about what faith means to me. One line in a song says it all for me, “You’re more real than the ground I’m … Continue reading →

How He Loves

Posted on August 25, 2018 by Mel Wild

The Way | Pat Barrett
