For years, I have enjoyed doing recording sessions for my personal projects as well as leads and back-up vocals for other artists. Actually, I find great pleasure in sculpting a tune and/or adding harmonies. Because Carl and I have been on the road so much in recent years, I haven't had time to do as much session work in the studio. However, it seems God is providing opportunity to pursue this passion again. While Carl engineers, I enjoy taking my time to match the style of an artist … [Read more...]

The Lost Art of Conversation
THE LOST ART OF CONVERSATION By Leann Albrecht In the beginning, God created the universe by the spoken word. The book of Genesis recounts those first moments. “And over the darkness God said, “Let there be light” and there was light.” After He finished His exquisite expanse of earth and sky, He added one more living form called “man.” Adam and Eve were created to have friendship with God and He conversed with them in the Garden of Eden. We are creatures designed to be able to speak, … [Read more...]

Music – It’s A Powerful Thing
Music - It's A Powerful Thing By Leann Albrecht I am often amazed at how much music affects the way I feel in any given setting. I was shopping with my friend, Linda, recently. As we wondered through the aisles of clothing, I was conscious of feeling negative and dark. When I took a minute to analyze the source of irritation, I realized it was the music the store was playing. The song was from the 70’s…a time in my life that was very unsettled…a time when I was young and desperately … [Read more...]
Boundless Love
This is a song that I co-wrote with Carl and Ed Kerr. It's a great reminder of His fathomless love for us. I particularly enjoy the music interlude by my friend, Mark Baldwin. [audio: boundless-love.mp3] Romans 8:38-39 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in … [Read more...]

I’ll admit, looking to the future is easier when the road behind me has been well traveled and marked with signs of God’s faithfulness. I look at things a lot differently now then when I started the journey. From this vantage point, here are some truths that have settled deep into my life. The most important advice I … [Read more...]
Grace – What An Inheritance!
Grace - What An Inheritance! By Leann Albrecht In recent months, I have found a new freedom as I have a clearer picture of what grace is, the New Covenant and the inheritance that is available for everyone who chooses Christ. For 53 years in church, I felt like I was being torn from one teaching to another, which caused me to struggle with a basic core truth, “I'm saved, I'm not saved, I'm saved, I'm not saved!” That's because so many sermons combine the Law and the New Covenant. … [Read more...]
The Fine Line of Fashion – Sensuous or Virtuous
THE FINE LINE OF FASHION - SENSUOUS OR VIRTUOUS By Leann Albrecht We live at a time in history when our liberal society would like to accentuate the “sensuous” (a preoccupation with bodily or sexual pleasures) and annihilate the “virtuous” (general moral excellence; right actions and thinking; goodness; strength and courage with the power to choose right). It is a time when purity has little value and sex sells everything. Our cultural obsession with “sex” preys on our homes and churches … [Read more...]
