Dear friends, stay safe, but reach out to someone who might need you today. …
Last week, my friend and musical collaborator John Caravelli and I recorded a new version of one of my older songs, “Empty Myself.” As we enter more fully into the Lenten season, it’s a song about the need to empty ourselves in order to make room for the movement of God.
