Bits and pieces, 3/30/05

Please join me in prayer along with the planners of the GodBlogCon, who say:

We are praying that GodBlogCon 2005 will serve to expand and mature the Christian blogosphere for the glory of God and the advancement of God’s kingdom.

Amen!

The GodBlogCon website should be up and running soon.

The latest release from Sing the Word is now available. This CD, titled “Great in Counsel and Mighty in Deed,” features the Scripture memory verses from Sonlight Curriculum’s third grade curriculum, though of course it is not limited solely to use with the curriculum. This disc is for anyone ages 5 and up who loves God, values Scripture, and appreciates great music. The music, written by my brother-in-law Steve, is, as always, wonderfully creative and uplifting.

“In the Beginning Was the Word” (John 1:1-4) is set to a richly beautiful African-style chorale. “The Right Thing to Do” (James 4:17) displays the diversity of Steve’s talents – he plays both the trumpet and keyboards in a great Latin groove. In “Iron Sharpens Iron,” (Proverbs 27:17), Steve and his son carry on a crazy scat exchange.

Steve’s daughters sing beautifully on this disc, as does my son, and the disc is graced throughout by the accomplished flute strains of Steve’s wife Anne (my husband’s sister). My husband and I get a few trumpet notes in there as well.

The CD and its three predecessors (Sonlight kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade Scripture memory verses) are available through Sonlight, Timberdoodle, and the Sing the Word website. (listening samples provided)
