For the past 3 years or so, I have had the joy of playing at Rominger West Winery, a wonderful music venue here in Davis. Last night was the last show, as they are closing. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings I have played there, with a great audience and joyous energy. I wish to thank Mark West for the years of providing a venue for local music, and to share with all of you a video my friend took last night of one of my newest songs ,”Empty.” You can find it at the link here:

My sister directed me to this beautiful depiction of Mary (or the woman of the alabaster jar) at the feet of Jesus. It shows one of my favorites stories from the gospels. This is where I want to be, at the feet of the One who forgives, the One who sees and yet loves unconditionally. I think of art as this outpouring of fragrance, something beautiful, not financially useful, but an exquisite gift of love. We all have a gift to bring the Savior. When we know we’ve been redeemed and truly, deeply loved by the one who is Love, who is perfection, we want to bring Him something beautiful. And this is what the music is, a gift of love given to the Savior in gratitude, something the world may see as wasteful, but understood as valuable and beautiful by the One who receives all of our small gifts with great love.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. ~Psalm 19:14
