-
A Song
Some sort of new music video … a song from home, an acoustic cover, concert footage, a lyric video, a guitar tutorial, or an official music video.
-
A Word
A piece of writing … sometimes by me sometimes by someone else … often exploring faith, creativity, or spiritual formation.
-
A Happening
I share up an upcoming event (in-person or virtual) that might be of interest … sometimes involving me, sometimes others.

A Links Buffet
Here’s where I get to have the most fun - sharing links to things that have made me laugh, cry, or think throughout the previous week.
Still Seizing the Day

— Jared M.
“Carolyn proves that you really can make music that reaches for high standards artistically, yet which is also comprehensible, original, and nurturing at the deepest level.”
— Kirk Johnson
“Hooray for new music from one of the best songwriters around.”
