I Am A Child Of God

YES!  It finally worked!  I have been able to create a movie compiled of pictures of my awesome kiddos, set to the amazing music of one of my favorite a capella groups!

I Am A Child Of God ... by InsideOut

If you don't know my kids (or care to see their pictures), please at least listen to this beautiful song.  It is a hymn from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) and the message is my favorite part of the song.  We are ALL children of our Father in Heaven and He wants for us to return "to live with him someday."  The original hymn is very nice by itself, but this a capella version is BY FAR my favorite version and quite possibly my favorite spiritual song ever!

I hope you like it.

Shine

Yesterday was a CRAZY BUSY day.  Between work meetings, running the Pinewood Derby for my son's scout pack, and leading my church team to a victory on the basketball court I felt like I was "in the spotlight" way more than I ever prefer to be.  That was the story behind this song selection for today.

Shine ... by Collective Soul

I don't listen to much "hard rock" but not because I don't like it.  I just usually prefer a more mellow sound for the sorts of activities I'm involved in more regularly nowadays.  But this song has a nice edge to it and always seems to motivate me to put my best effort forth.  I cannot really even understand most of the words of the song, but when I feel like I'm on a stage I often think "Heaven let your light shine down."  I hope I can let my light shine in a way that provides some inspiration to those around me ... just maybe not with as much anger as this singer is portraying.
