"Princess and Daughter of the King"

A Tribute to Larry Norman, 4/8/1947 – 2/24/2008 I’ve been a Church musician and worship leader for over 40 years and the Lord has given me a wider view of music styles and have included many in my worship listings. Was Rock and Roll a part of my repertoire? Well, for years, my father told me not to listen to Rock and Roll but when I became a Christian, I realized that God made us to create. Rock was created for a reason, to glorify the Lord. Rock and Roll music had a certain thrust, a force, to yell or scream in some cases a thought, a feeling, a doctrine or impression. I saw that so many young people listened to rock and loved the way it moved them. When I first heard Larry Norman and “I Wished We’d All Been Ready”, I thought the song was powerful and brought many images to mind. I remember hearing it also in a movie, “A Thief In The Night”. That movie brought an urgency for me to stay committed to the Lord and watch for His appearing. Larry has been referred to as the “Father of Chri...

Piano is my instrument. I have been playing since I was a child. While attending college I would sneak into the practice rooms just to play. I would carry old lesson books in and also learn how to play by ear. The instructors gave me persmission to use the rooms when they weren't occupied. I thought they were very understanding. I never did have more than three years of lessons that started when I was around eight or nine The following are places you can go to get help with playing the piano: Metronome http://www.metronomeonline.com This is where you can find a free metronome when practicing pieces that require a certain beat or rhythm. Many times the most frustrating thing about playing any piece is not knowing slow or fast it should be and what the composer wanted. We will interpret how we think a song should go but in reality the composer has a different angle all together. The following will introduce you to Diana Rogers, a piano teacher and friend.

Yes, Valentine came and went but I am not disappointed too much. My friend in the office received a huge bouquet of roses, lilies, stocks and some other flowers that was the biggest arrangement I had seen in years. I wrote a poem entitled "My Dear Valentine" and shared it with my friends on my space and my DIVA friends and also Wow Gals, a yahoo group. I miss my husband and miss doing romantic things like going to dinner or a movie or just the two of us going anywhere together and talking. He wasn't very romantic in the beginning or our relationship but realized he had been forgetting me on the holidays and on my birthday and tried to make up for it. Here is the poem: "My Dear Valentine" My Father who is in heaven is full of compassion and love. He tenderly watches over you in His wondrous home above. Why worry or fret about your life, what you should eat or drink? He will provide your every need above all that you ask or think. So give Him praise this Valentine...
