Been following your blog for the last year or so - and love your Music Mondays. I'm a mom of 2 young children and homeschooling - so keeping up with the latest music is not at the top of my to-do list. Thanks for doing all the hard work - and sharing your discoveries with the rest of us. Just wanted to share one thing with you that I haven't seen on your site so far - the Chair and Microphone series from Enter the Worship Circle project out of Canada. I love vol. 3 by Karla Adolphe - Orphan's Song is my favorite. I think you'd probably like it too.

Thanks again - and lifting you and your family up in prayer - especially Molly.
