Who knew there was a TV musical Christmas special from Karen Carpenter and friends on youtube. It features Gene Kelly. Okay, now more random musings on a Sunday evening...
So my nephew Ty is looking lively here; Mia was a bit sick this weekend :( I got to "go home" to St. George this weekend and help with a Christmas Play called "A Special Christmas." What a treat! The costumes, the musical instruments, the singers, the collective talent brought together by Elizabeth Jameson in the Sunset Stake (Church of Jesus Christ organization in St. George) truly helped create a great work of art. Elizabeth is a fascinating figure... a chemist, a theater teacher, a writer, a producer, a director. I can't wait to see more from Elizabeth Jameson. What will be next... a novel? A Broadway show? I am waiting with baited breath. And the best part... so many of my St. George family and friends were able to come to the show. I look forward to plenty more of wherever all that Christmas theater goodness came from! To all a good night.

I loved it! The presenters helped me take stock of my Bible awareness. I was reminded of the importance of becoming aware of language and culture in order to gain a better understanding of the context from which the Bible came. I was enlightened as to several modern translations of the Bible that are doctrinally consistent with LDS teachings. Best of all, I heard live testimony from living apostles, seers, and revelators about the truths in the Bible and the incredible opportunity the Bible gives us to learn about God's patterns as...
