All my Landlocked Dreams:

For those who know me, they know my favorite band is Switchfoot.  Switchfoot is a contemporary band.  Their songs talk a lot about love and hope, and it is very apparent that they are believers, but they are not necessarily singing worship songs.  I love their song lyrics.  Listening and trying to fully understand theContinue reading “All my Landlocked Dreams:”
