Artist picture
Spiritual and deeply personal songs that focus on living as a Christian in a post-post-modern world.
I am a Christian singer/songwriter living in Loveland, Colorado. I have been writing and performing songs for church and coffee house audiences for more than 10 years, expressing my faith through songs that are thought-provoking as well as inspirational. Prior to moving to Loveland, I lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts and have performed at Club Passim and at Vineyard-sponsored outreach events. My wife and I are also seminary students at Denver Seminary, and as most things educational these days, it is VERY expensive! So, won't you consider supporting us in our ministry? I have made my songs downloadable for a cheap 50 cents each and have an online album available as well. The purchase of my music will help us train to serve the spiritual and emotional needs of the elderly in hospice and long-term care. So, if a song has spoken to you, please consider purchasing it.

Story behind the song
I was standing in the snow, waiting for a bus after work one February evening during Lent. Across the street from the bus stop was a replica of the "Pieta" statue, which was in front of a church. The words came to me as I reflected on what Mary must have been thinking and on the loss of a child -- even a grown one. I was also struck by what other images we commonly see of Mary and Jesus, and what Jesus' life and death meant to me.
