Kid's Music to share
The music you are enjoying is from Renee and Jeremy. Click on the 'Night Mantra" song now. Man, I so wish I could sing like this to my kids. I went to Barnes and Noble to work on my book (yes, I have been signed to write a book-more on that later) and as is my habit I check out new music. I'm always on the hunt for children's music that is musically and lyrically inspiring, stuff like Elizabeth Mitchell and Ralph's World. The CD 'It's a Big World' will soon be put into the boys collection. They've nearly worn out Elizabeth Mitchell's voice and it is time for a little change.
You're listening to It's A Big World by Renee & Jeremy
Here is YouTube video of them performing "Night Mantra".

Life for Now
It came to me tonight as I head into the cleanroom for the upteenth time this week...Life is rich and we are meant to be a part of it. It's hard to describe how rich life is for Lynn and I right now. Ragged from the outside, but we are both in really good shape. There was a time a few months ago when I worried alot about our economy, my job, and how to maintain this life that just seems to be getting bigger and more expensive. Lately I've seen alot of signs that God has bigger things in store for us and I don't need to worry about how to maintain what we have or worry about future growth. Andy just needs to be faithful to that drive that is in him, enjoy his work, and look for those clues and assurances that are signposts for who God has made me to be.
It wasn't too long ago that I was driven hard by what I thought other people would be impressed with--many of my friends can attest to that. That is slowly dying and I am less concerned about what others may think of me. I feel stronger confidence growing within me and a vision for something still untangible but growing. I am becoming comfortable with my weaknesses and not trying to hide them. Much less try to mask my weaknesses by driving and forcing others to overcome their own weakness. Rambling now...I am off to wear the white bunny suit.
