Behind the Scenes 

 Hi, my name is Kristen Iaffaldano (sounds like Eiffel-day-no) and many years ago I took a college-level hymnology class geared toward church musicians. And I wasn't musical!

And although I often mouthed my way through the hymn singing part of the class— I have absolutely no regrets.

Today I'm still a hymn enthusiast with a passion to help all of God's people apply Colossians 3:16 in their daily lives.

My husband John and I live in a small town in Iowa where he pastors our local church family.

Fun fact: We married when I was 35 and he was a 45 year old widower with three grown daughters. We now have 9 grandkids who call me Kiki.

Like the poet and hymn writer William Cowper wrote, God does indeed move in mysterious ways!
