"Princess and Daughter of the King"

Recently, my dear friend Bishop Hutchinson passed away, 9/15/2017 and I will sorely miss him. His wife was with him at the Hospice unit but he was there less than a day.  He will be missed by so many and his vision for the Navajo Nation will continue, I believe, through his wife and members of his church.  I've known him for almost 20 years and been his liaison when he began his work at St Michaels with Summit Training Post.

School started two weeks ago. I have the responsibility to teach music to K-8th Grade. Wow. It is a handful. There are almost 100 kids enrolled but I don't think I have that many.  When my principal asked me to come back, I decided to teach American Music History, songs of various periods of our history and theory.  While teaching isn't that difficult but trying to keep the songs at the various age levels can be. I use a lot of help from websites and videos in my curriculum and go according to the main outline I put together before school started.  I'd like to be able to bring not only songs at different time periods, but Christian songs that could be used in our Chapel time and the programs throughout the year. I even made up a song about Adam and Eve using the old song "Are You Sleeping". I think the kids like it.  I spend a lot of time preparing for the lessons, usually 5 or 6 hours. I believe it's important to be prepared and ready for each cl...

Free slideshow made with Smilebox This is a slideshow highlighting some of the events that took place at the Woman of God day. It was held at the Knox Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles. Terry and I a couple of weeks earlier just returned from a visit to his son and family in Texas.  I was totally surprised to be honored there with 11 other women. 

Recently, I put together a slide presentation for my Elementary and Middle School Choir. It shows the various areas we will hear samples from and learn songs that will fit the eras and genres. I will be preparing the kids for several programs this year and next.  http://www.smilebox.com/playBlog/4e4455314e6a67304e6a673d0d0a&blogview=true 

I really believe this song speaks volumes. Nothing, no nothing is impossible with God. Im...means not and Posse....means wisdom. Do you want wisdom in your life? Know the Word, Know the Lord and His mind and heart. You too can have the wisdom of God. Open your heart and hear His voice calling. He loves you and wants nothing more than that you would succeed and have an enormous, huge active and vigorous life.

The Christmas program went well but I didn't have any of the songs recorded.
