SAVED BY GRACE: SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

Sometimes in this chaotic changing world, we need a reminder that there is something bigger than all of us and a little personal forgiveness. Regardless of how you believe, it never hurts to have faith and believe that there is something better out there for each of us.

We need to be reminded of the goodness that surrounds us regardless of how dark it might seem. 

Here is a playlist of songs that always seem to have a way of bringing me back to that place and I thought I'd share it with you in case someone needs it. 

SONGS YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING TO - FRIDAY, JULY 23

Some good stuff available at digital outlets everywhere this week - check 'em out and #sharethemusic! If you are able to leave a review on the outlet you use, please do so and let them know how you like the song. These reviews are so helpful to an artist and their team. If you don't like the song, be constructive in your review, not rude. The point is to help these artists, not discourage. And yes, I know there are LOTS of good songs that have been released the past week or two and they're not all listed here. What I choose to list are songs by artists that aren't saturating corporate country radio but are just as good, if not better, than those that are and artists that don't get the push they should.

Be sure to check out the artist's websites and find out more about them and the latest tour dates. Connect with them on social media.
