Growing up, I often said "I wished I had a corner," meaning I wanted a little hideaway where I could get alone and just BE. It got to be kind of a joke in the family, but they understood what I meant - a spot just for me; to read, journal, garden, enjoy music, meditate on life, or pray. The "corner" I longed for wasn't even an actual place, but more, the opportunity to do those things I love. So, welcome and see what is going on in our family's corner!

In honor of Rich
10 years ago today, he went to heaven. Wow. I miss him so much. Pause the loudfusion player, and then hit play, and worship with him. Like Abigail says whenever we hear Creed, "I can't wait to see him play that song in the field, in heaven someday."
Oh let's not get the Gores started on how much we love Wayne! We too thought of him today...I wish we were able to catch him live. We never got to go to a concert, but we have "all things Rich" on video tape and CD every now and then we pop one in 'cause they're all so great. We also show them to anyone who will sit and watch! Good post. Good memory. Great legacy.
The music and the memories of Rich Mullins have not faded for me. I can hear one note of his music and name that tune. Rich said when asked why he writes music..."Most believers cannot quote ten verses but they know the words to ten hymns." Practical, simple and clear..and even a little on the edge. I loved him then and still do. Legacies and the people who leave them are few...he left one unmatched in Christian music. I still miss him too, Jennifer. Alot.
