Approaching Glory

Oldies But Definitely Goodies

In addition to getting blinds for the front window - woo hoo!  I also purchased the Ion Power Play LP.  I had wanted to get this for Hubby for his birthday in October but after reading reviews I hesitated.  Today I took the plunge and I sure am glad I did.  Is it that crystal clear sound you could get on better and more expensive LP/mp3 converters?  No - but the sound is still VERY good and boy was it a blast to listen to the old contemporary Christian music from the seventies!

01 Quarter_Revived

 

This is from the Christian album, "You're Not the Lone Ranger" circa 1976 by John & Kathy, Shane & Alice.  This is my Hubby's favorite and he just about cries everytime he hears it - he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior when he was 25 - so the quarter means alot to him.  I hope it blesses you.

The Performance

Tonight was Jbird's Spring Chamber Concert.  It was great. Our new next door neighbor came.  Mike and Jimmy (from the Mexico trip) came.  Jimmy brought his wife Judy.  These are friends from many years. 

The day had been a tough one - you know - running around like chickens without.  I was trying to bake cookies, answer phone calls, get the car packed - etc. - all typical mother stuff.  One of those times where you wonder - is this really all worth it?

All the driving to and from rehearsals paid off a thousand times by the glorious music to which you are listening.  The Red Pony actually came off without a hitch.  The triumph of the Wabash Cannonball - let me tell you - it sounded just like a train!  I looked over at our guests - they had smiles, they swayed to the music, they shed a tear when one of their daddy's favorites was played.  They were dutifully impressed with Jbird's achievement. Then after the event is over, you bask in the glow of it all.   A tasty spread for the reception.   Good music - great conversations.  A night filled with memories.  Yes, it is worth it all.
