It Began in a Manger
A friend asked me to write a Christmas song that covers the whole life of Jesus Christ. At Christmas we of course celebrate His birth, but it is also important to remember that without the rest of His matchless life there would be little reason to remember His birth. This song depicts events from His whole life while still reflecting on how it all began in a manger.

Life's Journey
After writing this song, as I was contemplating what the title should be, I thought about the journey we each have on this earth. Life is wonderful and beautiful, but life can also be challenging and sorrowful at times. To me this song reflects that journey through life - from the happy and exciting times to the slower and even heart-rending times. And through it all, the quote from President Monson that I chose for the song reminds us what is most important in life and how to find joy in the journey!
