"Strands Of Life Suite" is dedicated to those who have had an affect on our lives for a season, or for a lifetime. Currently in the planning stages, the idea of the suite is to take the listener on a poignant journey through various stages/stations in one's life.

The suite began as a pairing of a song Pastor Jim had written for a wedding ("The Marriage Dream") , and a song Edward wrote for his bride for their wedding day ("For My Bride") . It then expanded to include an ode that Pastor Jim had written about how he felt about his wife early in their courtship ("Walls"), in addition to a few instrumentals Edward has written over the years which represent parts of what would be a relationship between two people ("First Date" and "Courtship").

Then the idea of expanding the suite further to include various stations in life, and/or music dedicated to a person or people in our lives took hold. At one time this suite was to be incorporated into the CD "On Broken Wings" . It has now become its own CD project.

In addition to "The Marriage Dream" , Pastor Jim has written songs for a baby dedication ("Dedicated"), a song of Thanksgiving ("From The Heart") , and an ode honoring fallen soldiers ("In Memoriam"). Over the years, Edward has written music dedicated to his parents ("For All You've Done For Me") , one dedicated to all of his friends past, present and future ("Friends") , a fun, whimsical and personal look back on his days growing up as a child which he co-wrote with his late sister Susan and their mutual friend Mark LoSacco ("Margaretta"), and a wistful look back at his high school days ("Alma Mater") .
