Mine is not for public consumption.<BR/><BR/>(PS The best thing about doing the Messiah is that now Nick will sing around me sometimes instead of waiting until I'm out of the house and just singing to Lucy.)JennyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02535209437895615609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23935428.post-60106678543591905522007-04-09T20:35:00.000-06:002007-04-09T20:35:00.000-06:00Oh, Randy- We did record our solos at the Messiah....Oh, Randy- We did record our solos at the Messiah.

In the essay I tried to show two periods in my life where I was given a glimpse at something I could have been really good at and loved, and both times I let things get in the way, the first time was fear of being a nerd, the second was complacency.<BR/><BR/>Whenever we learn about the three degrees of glory in church, it always feels like the greatest punishment of those not in the celestial kingdom is knowing that they COULD have had it all if they just had have seized the day when they had the chance- and then living with that knowledge for eternity, unable to change your past choices. <BR/><BR/>I don't mean to degrade the good experiences I've had with music thus far (like caroling in the hospital), but just mourn the opportunities for improvement that I neglected, and hope it teaches me to not let future opportunities pass me by (both in music and in other areas of life).Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680099072195435304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23935428.post-90073684620846474602007-04-09T20:29:00.000-06:002007-04-09T20:29:00.000-06:00There is one way you can make up for lost time.

Can you say "American Idol"???? :-)<BR/><BR/>Nick, in all seriousness, you've actually been a good example to me of someone that actually seeks to develop their talents. And you're doing it again with this month of writing nonsense. Anyway, make sure that some of this singing gets recorded so I can enjoy it sometime too!Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926078733084451726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23935428.post-30221598246013375702007-04-09T18:05:00.000-06:002007-04-09T18:05:00.000-06:00But hey - who are you really trying to make happy ...But hey - who are you really trying to make happy here - the conductors? or a newborn baby in a hospital at Christmas, the nurses who applauded and kept asking for more, and your very own family. You may feel that you missed out, but we (your family) are just glad at your willingness to share everything you've got.Julie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358002038684017897noreply@blogger.com
