The Lord is My Shepherd
I arranged an instrumental, piano only, version of our Come Follow Me suggested song for studying the book of Psalms.
I Know that My Redeemer Lives
The story of Job is one of great trial and difficulty. Job experienced suffering including physical pain, the loss of his possessions, the death of his children and the judgement from or turning away of friends and family. In the Come Follow Me manual it says: “Because of Job’s trials…he wondered if God was really just after all. But despite his suffering and wondering, Job maintained his integrity and faith in Jesus Christ. Sometimes the most important truths are revealed to us in the midst of our deepest anguish.”

The story behind Dearest Children, God is Near You
The text for this song was written by Charles Walker, who was an amazing early latter day saint who was born in England and then traveled with his family to the Utah Territory.
I Love to See the Temple Piano Solo
Here is an instrumental arrangement of I Love to See the Temple to go along with the Come Follow Me Sunday School Lesson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This lesson draws from Ezra 1; 3–7; Nehemiah 2; 4–6; 8 and is called “I Am Doing a Great Work”

Remember Him – Christmas Song
This song came about because of an invitation to sing at my Relief Society Activity at Church. As I thought about what I could sing, I realized that maybe I could write a song that would be exactly about the topic of bringing Jesus into the Holidays. Through working and re-working it, the song eventually evolved to what it is and I am pleased with the result. Creating this song and music video has already affected my intention and feelings about this holiday and a few times, even my behavior. I hope it helps bring others closer to Christ.

Arranging the song “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire”
My parents were visiting me and I told them I was trying to figure out what cover song I would do for December. My Mom told me that her favorite Christmas song is Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. I replied, “ok, that’s the one then.” I arranged a jazzy piano version of this song back in college at USU. It happened to be the only time this one professor seemed to be impressed with me!
After Today
Weighed down with sorrow today
I see you struggling in every way
Nights are long and heavy and sad
Few and fewer moments when you’re glad
