"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner
Come in! Come in!
"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a Hope-er, a Pray-er, a Magic Bean buyer; if you're a pretender, come sit by my fire. For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!" -- Shel Silverstein

The Lord's Prayer
If you haven't said your prayers today, just follow Zoeitoh's lead. I think Jesus will love this particular version.
I think it's the least sweetly sentimental version of the Alfred Hay Malotte setting I've ever heard. Refreshing!
My mother, suffering from Alzheimer's, remembers what seems to be a musical version of the Lord's Prayer, perhaps from her childhood, that is unfamiliar to me. Unfortunately, she only recalls the final lines (from "for thine is the kingdom...with several repeated Amens}, which she sings often. She had retained some favorite hymns for quite a while, but they seem to be gone from her awareness now.
Oh, this is priceless. What a doll. Oh, and she sings it better than most in my congregation. Um, including me. It was grand to break bread, er, I mean fish with you.
I have a new toy. And, no, not that kind - - - get your mind out of the gutter.
A child that age able to carry the tune as well as she does (without a cd or someone else singing it with her)is simply amazing! She has a wonderful ear and musical ability. And she's just too darn cute!

Brava! That was great.
