Since I posted the Ring Out, Wild Bells video on December 28th, over 68,000 people have viewed it on facebook, and nearly 6,000 have viewed it on Youtube! A fun way to kick off the New Year, in service, in costume, and on purpose. I heard from many people about how it companioned them through ringing out 2020, and ringing in 2021.
For some time, I have planned to add to my Sunday Song and Rumination column (that I have written nearly every week for two and a half years), with a radio show, and now two episodes are up on my new podcast channel, as well as on Youtube. In this episode, you will hear a Celtic folk duo from Ontario, named Scotia, playing a pipe and accordion version of my Ring Out, Wild Bells melody. On New Years Eve, other players in the village played this outside their homes and also rang the old church bells 245 times!!! What a beautiful story. And... to top it all off, they dressed up in Scottish steampunk. So fun. Next week, I will be back into writing, and will begin the radio show by walking through my album Behold, I Make All Things New. If that album has meant something to you, I would love for you to send me a voice message on my podcast platform. Just click "message" and follow the promptings. I really would love to have more interaction with you and hearing voice is so different than reading typed words! Listen to the podcast by clicking on the image below! Or you can listen with the video above.

Dear Alana, although it has taken me a few days to leave a reply about your new "Ring out, Wild Bells", it's because I've been listening to it again and again and again. I absolutely love it. We need more fools in Christ to break the boundaries of boxed in and narrow spirituality. It is moving to see that Scottish couple's initiative and I'm sure you can see it too as highly compensating for the negative comments you received. Thank you again for your beautiful work. Many blessings for this new year.
