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.

Keep Walkin', Keep Prayin'! A little spiritual to brighten your day!

Image
🎶✨ I’ve always loved spirituals—their soul, their strength, and the way they carry the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ with such power and simplicity. I teamed up with AI (yes, really!) to write a brand-new spiritual called “Keep Walkin’, Keep Prayin’.” 🙏🏾👣 It’s a reminder to keep going and keep trusting, even when the way is hard. Spirituals have always been one of my favorite ways to express faith and hope, and I’m so excited to share this one with you. I hope it lifts your heart like it lifted mine. ❤️🎵 Keep walkin’, keep prayin’—He’ll lead you all the way. Let me know what you think! #NewSong #Spiritual #KeepWalkinKeepPrayin #FaithMusic #AIcollab #JesusChrist #HopeThroughMusic

Psalm 4

  I spent some time putting Psalm 4 to music, and I’d love to share it with you all. This psalm is all about finding peace, trust, and joy even in difficult times: “Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness… Thou hast put gladness in my heart. I will lay me down in peace.” Creating this setting felt like a journey of finding calm in the middle of life’s noise. I hope this music brings a moment of peace and reflection to your day, too. 🌅 🎥 Take a listen to the video below and let me know what resonates with you. I’d love to hear your thoughts! #Psalm4 #NewMusic #FindingPeace #TrustInTheLord #MusicalMeditation

Excerpt from my first novel, The Authoress... circa 2004.

Writing a novel is a great way to improve your language skills!! Here's an excerpt from my first complete novel, written about 6-7 years ago. Enjoy! It all started the day they had the assembly at her school with The Author. Helooked normal. He had brown hair, bespectacled eyes, and a beard and moustache. Hewore a suit, smiled, and held a book in his hand. As he looked over the vast group of assembled children, poking at each other, laughing, and looking at him curiously, he smiled in a very relaxed way. He and the principal were having a little conversation and seemed to be good friends... Then he began to speak. And when he spoke, everyone became quiet. He had a soft voice, but he talked of the most wonderful things. He talked about creating worlds. He talked about creating people. He talked about writing stories. He said that in your stories, you could decide everything. You could decide whoyou wanted in your story, how tall they were, and what they liked to eat for dinner. Y...
