Where Can I Turn For Peace

Where Can I Turn For Peace

This song holds very special meaning to me. Besides Where Can I Turn For Peace being one of my favorite hymns since I first heard it, the message in it became very personal to me 21 years ago. As I sat in my church sacrament meeting in 2003, it was being sung as the closing hymn. I tried to sing it, but I just broke down in tears. I was facing my own personal Gethsemane at the time. But even though I was in the depths of despair, I could feel my Savior's love so strongly and I felt such peace that everything...

Where Can I Turn For Peace

Twenty-one years ago, I sat in my church sacrament meeting as my favorite hymn, "Where Can I Turn For Peace," was being sung as the closing hymn. I tried to sing it, but I just broke down in tears. My life as I knew it was falling apart. I had married my high school sweetheart and I thought that would last forever. But I found myself going through a very painful divorce. It was tearing me apart that my family, which I thought would be forever, was not going to be together in the same way anymore! As I faced...

Bridge The Gap - A custom song written as a tribute to teachers

Bridge The Gap - A custom song written as a tribute to teachers

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to do an hour-long keynote concert for "Educate & Rejuvenate," a conference for teachers sponsored by Wife Teacher Mommy. I shared 3 songs during my keynote, but I was also commissioned to write and record a song specifically for the conference as well as direct a music video. The Aspire Children's Chorus and a few extra children and adult actors I know, did a fabulous job at getting the message across that I hoped to share! My adorable grand-daughter, Brielle, is the soloist at the beginning and end. Merrilee Webb captured exactly...
