Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 06/12/2025You should try again! I feel like the momentum there has swelled in the last month or so, for some reason. (As someone with no real data, but pretty good at reading “vibes”. 🔮) 010

Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 26/08/2025We defaulted to Pillar and then decided to help out with their campus launch at Western's chapel last fall. It's been good! 120
Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Yeah! Family needs became pressing about a year and a half ago and we had to switch to online schooling for my youngest, which meant my bandwidth for working "weekends" was gone. So I stepped down from my role Maplewood (very sad! love them all!). 120

Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Is there anything better than a fantastic brass swell in the middle of a song??! Be still my heart. 000
Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Yes! I have some songs that have very different arrangement vibes depending on if I’m playing the piano or guitar and I can’t decide which version will eventually be recorded. 🙃 I like them both! 010
Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Very much one of my stress nightmare scenarios. 😭 Less than 30 mins to assess and rehearse songs I didn’t pick and modify all the key signatures on the fly.

Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 13/07/2025Hobbled into worship rehearsal this morning, VERY tired, and with the world’s largest canker sore - but ready to offer light backup vocal support and harmony to our guest worship leader, who - bless - came in assumming I was leading all the songs. 😅 110

Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 26/06/202590% of the time, when someone asks someone else out on a date on a tv show or movie, they hang up before discussing the when/where and this annoys me 100% of the time 020
Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Eavesdropping on a first date and they just started talking about their dads. I think it was nervous small talk. (At 19, your family has been almost your entire world—so an obvious default.) But it was so sweet and I thought about how much their dads would probably love to be eavesdropping with me. 010
Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 19/06/2025And the city, state! I’ve wasted years of my life trying to find out where a church is located—scrolling through every page on their site. 040

Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Yesterday marked 10 yrs since my first husband’s death from cancer. But today marks 10 yrs of living after that—stepping out into a terrifying new world where everything, save the grace of God, had changed. No situation, relationship, or practicality was untouched. Feeling grateful to still be here. 190
Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 05/01/2025I can’t stop reading or watching sci-fi. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It must mean something. The only other genre possibily luring me away from sci-fi right now is classical mythology. 050

Sam Connour | Lo Sy Lo @samconnour.bsky.social · 05/12/2024I have a Pavlovian response to moderate amounts of snow that I can’t shake—I lose all motivation and sense of responsibility due to a childhood of epic Midwestern no-school snowdays every year or so. It’s like my brain sees a few inches of snow and is like, “Ope, nothin happening today, I guess!” 000
