An Angel Dancing

On a mission trip to Puerto Rico, a youth group were around a campfire praising the Lord and suddenly one of the group saw an angel at the fire..then another took a 15 sec clip of the angel dancing at the bonfire. If you don't believe in angels...then you might change your mind. If you want more information about angels go to Extreme Prophetic on line. Your questions will be answered.

Teaching Piano and Online courses

I've been teaching piano for over 20 years to children ages 6 and up to adults. One of the most frustrating things I've found is that most of them don't want to practice. They're either distracted by other more tantalizing things like sports or tv or video games or friends just want them to come out and play. The adults have a hard time finding time. My answer to this quandry is make the time and make the choice to practice or don't play at all. "Practice makes perfect" I tell my students and it's true.

Learn to Play Piano Online....

If you'll press my title "Learn to Play Piano Online" the Hear and Play site will come up. If you really are interested in improving or just beginning to play piano go there.

They said that if I signed up as an affiliate that I could receive income from anyone that goes to their site so I said sure. That sounded great. It was free to sign up. There is no obligation. I don't really have a whole lot of time at work I can spend on the free course they offered right now because my home computer is down but that's ok. I still can take the time at lunch. There are a lot of programs out there that allow you to sign up for free. All you have to do is offer a website so they can put their banner or advertiser. In the near future I will be notating my music that has been written over the past 40years. As a worship lead...
