My daughter only had a couple days to practice the music, and really only 15 minutes with the pianist (because we left the keyboard cord at home and my husband had to rush home to get it!)–would that …

Update Monday!
Good morning! It’s been a crazy-busy past two weeks, what with attending my daughter’s senior recital (she was fabulous!), then her final college choir concert (very evocative), and then her college graduation (sniff) on Saturday–it seems she just went off to college a year ago! Insert in the middle of that, celebrating the birth of Chain of Mercy. But no …

Amazing Grace – Playlist Song #6
MERCY … Merriam-Webster defines mercy as “kind or forgiving treatment of someone who could be treated harshly.” In other words, mercy is an unearned pardon. In Chain of Mercy, my hero Richard Brooks is granted mercy, but rather than grasp its freedom, he rejects it. By refusing to accept it, he lets mercy shackle him. This weekend Christians will celebrate …
