A Living Prayer – Alison Krauss and Union Station

As I have mentioned before, one of my favorite vocalists is Alison Krauss. Roy Acuff often referred to her as his favorite. I guess that puts me in pretty good company. On one occasion, when introducing her at the Grand Ole Opry, he said that her voice is so pure she tickles the angels’ feet when she sings.

Here is a performance of “A Living Prayer,” my all-time favorite song by AKUS. This is from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I’m not sure of the date. I hope this blesses your life like it has blessed mine.

Are you making the most of life’s opportunities? May 12, 2010
Have you ever struggled with regrets over opportunities missed? Sure you have. We all have. Hopefully these lines will provide some practical advice for making better choices the next time opportunity knocks. According to Wiersbe’s Bible Exposition Commentary, “Our English word opportunity comes from the Latin and means “toward the port.” It suggests a ship […]

Reflections on Proverbs 16:23-24… May 11, 2010
Careless words tossed about without thinking can offend and injure. On the other hand, pleasant words can provide sweet sustenance for the soul and a cure for that which troubles us at our core. […]

Give your life to God while there’s still time! May 8, 2010
Check out Tamara Lowe’s “Amazing Grace” rhyme: Now reflect on the Spirit-breathed words of Philippians 2:6-11… 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he [...] […]

We are God’s workmanship April 25, 2010
Ephesians 2:10 reads: "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Three observations help us to see how these few words encompass the breadth of Christianity. […]

Test Everything! April 16, 2010
I recently attended a reception held to honor my wife’s ninety-year-old uncle. It reminded me that I’d written this a little over a decade ago after spending some quality time with him. I think it remains apropos. It was a special treat that I will long cherish. Nine holes of golf with Telesa’s uncle, Ewell Booker. [...] […]

Romans 12:1-2 Remixed by Bill Williams March 24, 2010
I’m pleading with you, brothers and sisters, to completely surrender your lives to God. This is your logical act of worship, that which is made reasonable in view of the fact you are benefactors of the manifold mercies of God, is this: spiritual homage expressed through sacrificial service first to God and then to others.

Never touched by evil. Really? March 8, 2010
Reflecting on this situation has reminded why it matters so much to God that people tell the truth. It is the epitome of tragedy when we humans, the pinnacle of God’s creation, those who bear His image, choose to traffic in lies. Simply put, God does not want us to give false testimony (Deuteronomy 5:20). […]

Living Generously March 6, 2010
A few words spoken by Jesus have been on my mind lately. They are recorded in Matthew 5:38-48. (Click this link and you can read them in the three versions: TNIV, NIV and KJV.) As I’ve reflected on these verses, Eugene Peterson’s rendering has proven to be most helpful: 38-42“Here’s another old saying that deserves a second [...] […]
