After Virtue by Alasdair MacIntyre. On top of that, his youthful nature is portrayed so exuberantly through social media. He showcases such vulnerability and relatability through his music and personality.

Overall, he's definitely an artist to have on your radar. It's insane to me that he only has about 2,00 monthly listeners on Spotify. He has a sound that would really thrive in today's music scene and I think he is extremely underrated. Definitely give them a listen! His lyrics and flow are so smooth and sounds like he's already an established artist.

He could easily compete with rappers today. While his music discusses girls and drugs, he also uses his platform to advocate for human rights movements like BLM. If you like rap, there is something for everyone with his work. This funky fresh group focuses on really catchy indie-pop songs. However, I definitely think they are on that track so I suggest you hop on the train now while they're still lesser-known.

Their sound is really desirable so I can imagine it's only a matter of time before they blow up. This singer-songwriter is extremely talented. Kate Stephenson's voice is delicate and aids in delivering her music in such a beautiful and heartfelt way. Her music is relatable and makes you want to listen to what she has to say. She also has an amazing way with words and I'm excited to see her grow as an artist!

Chief was a beautiful creature. Understated in temperament. And a part of our family. It was devastating to see him go. While Chief was not my dog -- he belonged to some dear friends -- his loss reminded me of the great value pets play in our lives. Pets draw us closer to God and His creation. Chief's death reminded me of my own journey with animals who have blessed me and my family. This blog is an update on one I wrote more than a year ago, but think it's story and message is relevant today.

As my loved ones grieve the loss of their own, may we all be encouraged to know that God shows small pieces of His love through the animals who surround us and our families. Honestly, I have no idea whether or not puppies go to heaven.

This is not intended to be a blog looking deeply at Scripture. Will our pets be in heaven with us one day? I don't know the answer to that question for sure -- but I hope so! When my husband and I moved to Maryland we decided, very intentionally, to reenter into intentional community with my family. Thus, we live next door to my parents and do life together. One of the gifts of doing life together is also doing life with my parents' pets. In addition to the snake I don't know his name , the turtle my nephew Daniel named "Florida," and some fish, my parents had six dogs!

I call them "puppies" but they vary in age. Their weight differential went from Marley's lbs to Abby's 4 lbs. These puppies have brought us so much joy.
