Our travels today took us through two airports.  Sharon and I are not the only ones of our family who are avid travelers.  Just today we heard from Allison, who is on her way to Paris, France for her first visit to that city.  Last week, Kimberly and Allen hiked down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back out in the same day.  I believe the park officials recommend against attempting to hike that far in one day.  However, Kim, Allen and his dad, Gary Brantley, made the trek in 12 hours.  I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Have any of you hiked the Grand Canyon?

Have you been to Paris, France?

It seems that everywhere we travel, I am asked about songwriting.  The truth is, I can't even begin to hear all the requested submissions nor provide the critique for all the budding songwriters.  Here's an article by Bob Kauflin who effectively addresses many of the typical pitfalls of songwriting.  The article is entitled Top Ten Ways To Write A Bad Worship Song. 

Bob used to be involved with the singing group, Glad, and has since served in local church and worship ministries.  His blog offers resources for songwriters and worship leaders alike.
