As I continue along with my 2019 goal of sharing a song I wrote each month, my choice for February would of course be a love song. I’m finding that the type of love song I write tends to be more about the daily grind of life rather than simply the warm and fuzzy feelings. […]
Read more "Song: Trees Bending with the Wind"This is another entry in an on-going series focusing on Matthew 1-4. You can catch up by visiting the previous post here.
