Quivering Daughters
|
By Eric M. Pazdziora I wrote this a few years ago around Mother’s Day, though with my wife in mind. It was also featured on Revelife.com to great reviews. In light of my recent article on Quivering Daughters, I thought it might be about time to pull it out again. Happy Mother’s Day, [...]
There’s a lot on my mind lately, but, though it’s not really a great pressing concern to me, I keep coming back to one particular issue. Perhaps that means it will be illuminating to somebody, so here it is. From several places, I’ve heard what appears to be a common objection to the [...]
It’s finally happened! I’m finally official! The other day I got a surprise package in the mail from Alliance Music Publications. What to my wondering eyes should appear but a great big stack of published scores… with my name on the front!
You may recall that “Mick McGuire” is the [...]
[From my archives.] Ah, those good old Pharisees. They’ve been dead and gone for centuries, yet we never tire of talking about the dangers of their beliefs. I’ve lost count of the number of sermons I’ve heard, articles I’ve seen, and books I’ve read that in some way or another caution the Christians [...]

Those of you who have been following me for a while have probably heard that I’ve been working on a brand-new CD recording of worship songs and hymns I’ve written over the past several years. I’ve wanted to do this for quite a while, especially since getting married and realizing how [...]
Guilt, shame, and condemnation. Unspoken rules you have to live up to. Authoritarian leaders you can’t ever question. An exclusive “us-vs.-them” mentality. Subtle or not-so-subtle pressure to fit in. Barely veiled manipulation and peer pressure tactics. Fear of doing the wrong thing. Public rebuking if you do. Warnings against what will happen if [...]
Originally published August 2006. These ideas are in a rough and unpolished form. I wrote them down one evening while they were in my mind for some reason, and since then several people have told me this was very helpful in their own work in worship music. This is still very much [...]
Starting on September 8, I’ll be recording a new CD. My usual piano and vocals will be joined with the audio engineering skills of Peter Devins, the vocals and guitar stylings of Carrie Pazdziora, and the fantastic violin virtuosity of Øystein Torp, making an intimate but dynamic sound. The songs are new [...] |
