The Happiest Hours in Gatlinburg!
What better time to hit some great happy hours, then when you’re on vacation. You don’t have a schedule. You’ve spent the day hiking or exploring the Arts and Crafts loop. Maybe you got roped into taking one of those Old Time Family Photos, and now you need to forget seeing your Aunt Judy wearing…

Music Motivation – Fun.
Today is a weird day. It’s almost Easter. A lot of our friends are on break. I wish I was on break to try to get some much-needed spring cleaning checked off the never-ending list of things to do. We need groceries. I need to go to the gym so I don’t hurt someone. This…

Getting to know Bruce Stacey – Writer and Director of The Ice Dragon
While there were so many incredible projects we discovered when we attended NRB this year, one of the highlights was discovering the delightful animated film Ice Dragon: Legend of the Blue Daisies. (not to be confused with the J.R.R.Martin book The Ice Dragon…which is a very different story!) In the film, Melody and her friend…

Getting to know Brent McCorkle – I Can Only Imagine
How amazing was I Can Only Imagine? I keep reading about how many film magazines were blindsided by the success of the film. But why? Churches have been talking about this film for a year. And for good reason. It’s messages of faith, loss, forgiveness, love – they are all universal. And I think I…

Daylight Saving Monday Music Motivation
This is serious. We lost an hour of sleep yesterday. Can you feel it today? I sure can. Add in one of my busiest work seasons of the year, a few parties, a lot of houseguests, and those little things…like daylight saving…can add up. I understand why the time changes occurred decades ago, but I’m…

Monday Music Motivation – PEACHES!
It’s President’s Day – so hopefully you have the day off. You may have even forgotten that you have the day off. SURPRISE! Today, you get a free day to catch up on errands that don’t involve banks and post offices. Or maybe you’re planning to binge watch curling and ice dancing on the Winter…

The Valentine’s Day / Ash Wednesday Collision
Ash Wednesday is tomorrow, and it lands on Valentine’s Day. I’ve seen a bit of chatter online, trying to help young couples and parents maneuver this interesting matchup of the pop culture calendar and the church calendar. While it’s not the most earth-shattering parallel in the history of history, the last time these 2 lined…
