It was over ten years ago now that I first heard them. Just a few little kids who could play guitar, banjo, mandolin, the fiddle, and acoustic bass. And when I say “play”, I really do mean play. Their fingers would fly so quickly on those strings, all you had to do was blink and they’d be on to some other note.
As a self-taught guitar and piano player with only passable skills, I was in awe.
Every few years the Lindsey Family would be back, visiting our area and filling churches with toe-tapping music. We got to know them, got to watch their kids grow, got to enjoy their talent.
This past year when they came, they shared more than just music. It was this year that they walked through the tragedy of burying a stillborn daughter, Amy. They shared their testimony and I felt the impact to my toes.
After the concert, we talked and this mother who was still wandering through the pain of losing a child hugged me tight and thanked me for writing Pain Redeemed. I was struck how God used our stories of loss to create a closeness, a community within the Body of Christ. Before we left she had pressed into my hands a copy of their latest CD.
Oh, friends. That CD has blessed me. Every single song has touched me as we’ve navigated this new path of loss.
And since the blog has just topped 1,000 followers {oh, how crazily wonderful! It seems just yesterday that I called a friend, all excited that TWENTY followers had somehow materialized. Thank you, dear ones, for making this little corner of the internet such a delightful place to be.} it seemed entirely appropriate to host a little giveaway! So I went right out and bought a second copy of this CD.

Now that I think about it I’ve received the ebook, but no other mailings.
Is it infrequent?
Yes, it is. Especially during the summer. 🙂
