This album is an invitation to examine the many influences coming from the world, and our response to the call to have it all and fulfill ourselves. Ordinary Time dismisses the allure of media hyped lifestyles. Many songs address the idea that time is a treasure, not to be wasted on self-absorption. While several songs bemoan the busy-ness of modern life and the resulting decline in the quality of love, others delve into the beauty and sanctity of life and the wasteland of victim-hood. This collection calls attention back to the nobility of living an ordinary life marked by loyalty and love.

Song titles include: Lifeline, What I Wouldn't Give, Wife of a Busy Man, Late Have I Loved You, and title track Ordinary Time.

From Marie Bellet:
"My witness is really just to show up with my kids at the grocery store. For me, that is where the culture war is fought, surrounded by glossy magazines that promise happiness if you shed pounds and obligations. My writing began mostly as an alternative to rearranging the furniture. It has become my way to encourage those who want to rebel against the self-centered misery of our time. To make sacrifices for marriage and children is not stupidity or victimization. It is the noblest thing we do."
