This Sunday is the readings focus on Jesus as the good shepherd. Possible responsorial psalms are “This is the Day” (CCLI# 4957357) and “The Lord is My Shepherd” (CCLI# 4957333).

A few things… 1) A new liturgy planner. If you’re looking for a song to use in your liturgies, check out the calendar on the sidebar OR click onto “liturgy suggestions.”

2) I will be re-cycling the videos from lent for those who subscribed halfway through. They will be posted about twice per week.

3) All of the songs from forty days of praise are now listed with CCLI for licensing with them. Thanks to Paul Hilts for this advice on getting licensed with CCLI. Check out his songs at www.paulhilts.com All of the CCLI numbers are listed on the ‘useage’ page. Please remember to report the song useage to CCLI. Every little bit helps for a smaller songwriter like myself.

4) I am in the process of saving up to release a CD. I’m shooting for one year from now as a tentative release date.

peace,
