Hearty Breakfast

Every morning my mom treats me to a freshly-made hot egg omelet, accompanied by a dish of fresh fruit and a glass of orange juice. (I know, I'm pampered!) But that's only part of my complete breakfast. As I feed my body, I nourish my soul listening to my newest favorite CD: Psalms by Kevin Inafuku. The melodious songs are directly inspired from specific passages of the Psalms. I can't think of a better way to start my day than with such a hearty breakfast!

Shadow of Your Wings

Shadow of Your Wings: Hymns & Sacred Songs by Fernando Ortega is another one of my all-time favorite CDs.  My friend and former supervisor, Jordan, introduced it to me last year when we were working together in the kitchen at Verity. I have fond memories of the two of us singing along heartily as we chopped vegetables.


Day or night, I love listening to Fernando Ortega's soothing musical arrangements of Scripture. Whenever I have trouble sleeping, I turn on this CD. As I meditate on God's word so beautifully expressed in these songs, my restless tossing and turning eventually gives way to peaceful slumber.

Hide 'Em In Your Heart

When I was a kid, one of my top favorite audiocassette tapes was Steve Green’s Hide ’Em in Your Heart (vol. 1). Nowadays, I still love listening to the catchy Bible memory songs, on iTunes. All three volumes are so lively and joy-filled that sometimes I can’t help myself but sing and dance along. ;-) What a great way to learn and meditate on key Scripture verses!

Think on These Things

In my experience, beautiful music is indispensable to beautiful living. What better way to meditate on Scripture than set to lovely song? One of my all-time top favorite CDs is Think on These Things, produced by SoundForth Singers. Whenever I need to redirect my heart and mind back on God's Word (which is frequently--I need all the help I can to "think on these things"!), I listen to this CD.
