Today I want to talk about another piece of music I listed in Music to Touch Our Hearts which always pull at my heart-strings. Today the music I want to tell you about is Leona Lewis‘ Footprints In The Sand. This song has come to mean so much to me over the last few years, having [...]

Today I want to carry on with my series about the music that touches my heart. In Music to Touch Our Hearts I listed a number of pieces of music which always pull at my heart-strings, and number eight in my list was the beautiful song Written In Red. This will not be the first blog [...]

Last year in Music to Touch Our Hearts I listed a number of pieces of music which always pull at my heart-strings. Thereafter in the following weeks I went on to explain the reason why the 10 pieces of music/songs I listed, were special to me. As you may or may not have noticed I went on [...]

The sixth piece of music I listed in Music to Touch Our Hearts is the song Lord I Come To You (The Power of Your Love). This song first really touched me when I was away with Bellshill Band in 2003 on our tour of the Netherland, Germany and Belgium. It particularly reminds me of the service [...]

I was obviously very disappointed [...]

    Following on from my blog yesterday Emotional but Thankful, today I’ve been quite emotional too. In between watching some football, including cheering on the USA against England, and sleeping through the Argentina v Nigeria game, I’ve spent time thinking about and praying for Bellshill Salvation Army Band, my band, as they headed south this [...]

I’ve found myself listening to Gabriel’s Oboe from the film The Mission over and over again in this last week – As I mentioned in my post called The Mission which I posted last year, I love this music and find the whole story of the film very inspiring (my post from last year give you [...]
