My purpose is to write about some of these contemplative practices and ways of living in the world that are responsible for that transformation. These practices are the core of my relationship with God – how I hear God’s voice every day.

Life's Issuses with Lloyd Rosen with Special Guest Ezra Thomas & Dale Stanten Often confused for a solo artist, Ezra Thomas is actually a band. The union of singer-lyricist-guitarist Ezra Vancil and percussionist Aaron Thomas began in 1996 with their first disc, Buck 50. Five years of playing in the Dallas roots scene culminates for them with The Weight of Being, a quietly seductive album that won them a 2003 SXSW showcase. The album burns slowly and ethereally through 12 tracks that speak to the struggle between the body and soul. Ruminating through lost love and melancholic yearnings, Ezra Thomas employs folk, R&B and modern rock to weave a sadly beautiful sound. While raising her young family, Dale Stanten obtained her RN degree and practiced psychiatric nursing. She parlayed her medical and extensive sales experience to become CEO of her Destination Management Company which for twenty years organized conventions, corporate events, and meetings for local, national, and international guests.
