Publication Update

ClayJar Review, a Christian literary journal, selected my sonnet, “Ash Wednesday 2023,” and my flash fiction story, “Protocol,” for publication. It is rare to find a Christian journal that values both authenticity and hopefulness, so I am honored to be included.

My postlude from Sunday: Walther’s lively setting of the Old One Hundredth. 🙌🏻 How’s your week going? I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday.

Did you still have service yesterday? If so, what did you sing? What songs do you think would best suit a frigid day?

What other composers do we unfairly limit to ONE famous piece? 😂 Alternately, what are you looking forward to playing/singing for service tomorrow?

To my dismay, my Instagram algorithm has been showing me influencer content—not content by influencers, but content aiming to help users become influencers. With increasing frequency, reels pop up in my feed with captions like this: “Don’t know what to post today? Try this!” or “Not sure what to share? Use this trending audio.”

Loved this chorale prelude on “Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen” by Johann Gottfried Walther. It’s so simple and contemplative. What did you enjoy singing or playing yesterday?
