The weather is cooler and the leaves are starting color. Fall has definitely arrived in the Midwest and that means it's time for boots!

First Thoughts on The Brave

It's fall television premiere time! This is my favorite time of year. I love watching all the new series and finding new shows to watch. Last night The Brave premiered on NBC.  I had not heard of The Brave before looking at Monday nights lineup so I wasn't sure what to expect. But when I read the little blurb about the show I knew I wanted to watch. I come from a military family. My grandfather, uncles, stepdad, cousins, and brother in law have all served our country in some shape or form. ...

Matthew West – All In

Matthew West All In

Matthew West is known for his storytelling song style that has won him several awards. His newest album, All In, was released on September 22nd and is available for purchase in stores or download on iTunes and Spotify. What can you expect from All In? It's full of the same uplifting storytelling you're used to but also has a little electronic feel to some of the tracks. He seems to have taken some new risks with his musical style and it's paying off.  I think you'll enjoy listening to All In ...
