Christmas Is | Music Video

The title song for my Christmas CD ("Christmas Is a Gift") is just a pretty melody until you put the lyrics to it. Thus, I have created a music video with the lyrics so you can enjoy it to the fullest.


Don't forget, if you want the "Christmas is a Gift" digital album for FREE, you may sign up for your copy here (and share the link with friends so they can enjoy it too!).

Free Christmas Album | My Gift to You

Y'all!!! I am beyond excited about the secret project that I've been working on this past week -- one that, ONLY by God's grace and mercy, has been brought to completion and is now ready for you all as a Christmas gift!!

Yep! That's right. I have recorded my first Christmas Album. Oh, how I loved playing through all of the old favorites. AND, added to those we know well, I included an original Christmas hymn written by my talented sister, Elizabeth Tero (it also happens to be the title song).

"Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men." Hosea 10:12-13Even as believers, we need the reminder of how we sow and reap, because we can still fall into the trap of hardening our hearts and not seeking God, but trusting in...

I Wonder as I Wander | Music Video

This one was fun to arrange. It's a slightly different style than I have really done before. Given the haunting reflection of the words, the arrangement is more meandering, wandering.



Sheet music is available here.

Secret Project!!! | Writing Update

After finishing the rough draft of Journey of Choice, I put it aside while I wrote a novella (yes! In just a few days, the Lord allowed me to complete a 17,000+ word rough draft!). I'm not quite ready to divulge what this "secret project" is yet, but if you'd like to play a game with me, I'm game. ;) 
Ever play "20 Questions?" It's where you try to get an answer by asking less than 20 "yes or no" questions. So...ask away! I'll answer any questions you ask, and I'll try to s...

Twice in this Psalm is the reminder that God endures forever -- and both references come after the Psalmist acknowledge difficulty or dark times. He didn't stay focused on the sorrows of this world -- he turned his eyes upon God and His eternal kingdom. We should learn from this example and, when tempted to surround our thoughts with the dismal events of today, instead turn our focus to our eternal God and praise Him!

In writing "Journey of Choice," I definitely desire God's Word to have free...

The First Noel | Music Video

I'm excited to introduce another first for WAJN. My first violin/piano video up on YouTube. This is one that I arranged for my sister (and student), Naomi.

Interested to hear: what instrument(s) do you play? While I play predominantly piano, violin is my main secondary instrument.

The key to being holy and unblameable before God is not how many sermons we listen to, how many chapters in God's Word we read daily, how we dress, or what convictions we hold to. All of these are important, but if "I have not charity, I am nothing." How is our attitude towards those around us? We can do all "the right things" externally, yet be selfish, arrogant, judgmental, and unloving.

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...He hath made every thin...
