More than a couple years ago I hummed a tune so much I eventually realized it was a question of the heart I was hearing. I finally wrote it down in my journal as an inquiry of my heavenly Father. The tune playing over and over in my head was…

“The hills are alive with the sound of music” rang in my head as I traversed some upper trails in the hills. Green grasses were filled with spring’s wild flowers. I purposed to put away my Ipod so I could hear the music being sung by all of creation. I love to listen to music [...]
