The one from my Sunday School was made because Gunnar <BR/>came over a large amount of old diaz at my uncle's. He copied them over to his computer and brought forth good memories from my childhood. <BR/><BR/>As my beloved uncle Leif said today" Greet your mother and tell her I am by high spirit. (or courage is maybe a better word.)<BR/><BR/>Dear Jim,<BR/>I'm so happy you found the found the libretto for Messiah read worthy.How could they not be, they're pure Bible gold.<BR/><BR/>Yes, there'll always be lots of persons and subjects for prayer request.<BR/>It makes me feel well when I know somebody's sharing my prayers like I in fact am blessed when praying with someone.<BR/>I am sure you know the experience yourself. Being a man who cares about other and is taking on responsibilities for so many thing.<BR/>You don't talk so highly about your missionary travel to Guatemala, but I think that was a really extraordinary beautiful thing to do.<BR/>A man who love his dog and his wife (no horse, though?), has a great sense of humor and is a Sunday School teacher as well. That's - wonderful, marvelous,- as Handel or Jennens would put it and I have sung it for the last half week.<BR/><BR/>Dear Sister Terry,<BR/>I think you are my perfect soul sister.<BR/>I admire your burning love for all mankind, your engagement and your <BR/>unique willingness to sacrifice and your engagement to make people happy, by remembering their special days and always praising the smallest effort of wellldoing you can find among your fellow pilgrims. You truly are a pearl among women.<BR/>I so often find myself quoting you while talking to Gunnar, Serina or my nearest friends. Terry says this and Terry does that.<BR/>You have become a part of my life.<BR/>My iPod contains all kinds of music,( in addition to Dylan and Handel), Tennesee Earnie Ford, Louis Armstrong, Pat Boone, Mahalia Jackson, Creedence CCR, Janis Joplin, Billie Holyday, Elvis, oh, five decade with pop, rock,blues, folk, jazz and gospel music. Then I have some gigbytes of Irish music from Dubliners to Enya and all in between, I even like bagpipes and Flower of Scotland especially played in Edinburgh Castle. Norwegian folkmusic with the eight string fiddle, gypsy music, oh, what a well of wealth!<BR/>Classic music I got in with my mother's milk, so i cannot do anything but love it.<BR/>I found it so special that this famous conductor, Boris Brott live in Hamilton, Ontario. He's practically your neighbor, and is such a charismatic person. One just have to love him.<BR/>You have nothing to loose to give him a chance.<BR/>Gunnar always thought my opera stuff was highly overrated.<BR/>Then we happened to be in Italy when they celebrated a Verdi jubilee.<BR/>We went to the Arena in Verona and listened to Nabocco. the famous Slave choir sung under open the open velvet sky. while we, the audience held burning candles in our hands. Pure magic.<BR/>Both Serina and Gunnar were breathtaken.<BR/>Music has its way to open shut doors and enlighten dark corners of my soul.<BR/>When I have been strong and tough for very long, only music can soften my heart and let the locked tears run free.<BR/>Its a gift beyond the spoken word.<BR/>Its an ointment for a wounded heart.<BR/>I think your mother can regain some strength by listen to what she likes.<BR/>She's been through some rough waters.<BR/> I'm holding you all forth in prayer, Mom and dad Golden, Terry and Bernie, Mr. and Mrs. Jim and Amrita. You are all working so bravely on different corners of the world. God bless you with his <BR/>peace that exceeds all knowledge.<BR/>From yours FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-11653431824198355662007-11-26T22:57:00.000+00:002007-11-26T22:57:00.000+00:00Dear Felisol..This post had come right in time!I h...Dear Felisol..<BR/>This post had come right in time!<BR/>I had Mom Golden out to the doctor's today and she has been a little depressed lately because of the apartment situation and because of Dad Golden, I think.<BR/>Well it tuned you that she has neglected taking two important pills. so I will have to keep a better look on her.<BR/>She just loves the Messiah. Grace took her to a live performance a couple of years back and she cried because it was so beautiful.<BR/>I am going to copy this whole post out for her and give it to her.<BR/>Felisol, I think that you and Gracey and Mom would get along so well. They, like you are such gentle music loving souls.<BR/>Alas!! I am a southern gospel lover to the very core...Not having the same fineness as my mom and sister..<BR/>Anyways mom will really enjoy this story...love TerryTerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08917338886406940158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-68965529174626001982007-11-26T03:07:00.000+00:002007-11-26T03:07:00.000+00:00Thank you, Felisol.

I never had read the words although I have heard them sung many times.<BR/><BR/>Also I read your prayer requests on PPs, which I don't read very often. There are more too, right?<BR/>At least I pray for other than these and for you also.<BR/>..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37174210.post-45420397357047622942007-11-24T12:03:00.000+00:002007-11-24T12:03:00.000+00:00Hello Felisol,I love this peice of music too. i ha...Hello Felisol,<BR/>I love this peice of music too. i have it on tape and listen to it.We have sung parts of it a Christmas.<BR/><BR/>Read some your older posts. <BR/>Hope you are feeling well.Amritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887884977787790642noreply@blogger.com
