I have been so busy wrapping up different music jobs and practicing that I haven’t had a spare minute to write on the blog. (So sorry folks.) To catch everyone up on all the latest...
Last Saturday and Sunday I played Handel’s Messiah with the Marion Civic Chorale and it went fairly well. Messiah is always difficult for any musician; and this oratory in particular is always taxing on oneself. I think we all did the best that we could, and with God’s grace made it through without any extreme difficulty.
On Tuesday I played with my orchestra at the Freedom Library right here in Ocala, and it went very well. There wasn’t a huge crowd, but that’s not what’s important. We had a wonderful time playing together, and we have only one more gathering before we break up for the holidays.
I have a wedding to play on Sunday afternoon, and I still haven’t gotten the music to it. So I have to sight read the whole wedding. I look forward to it. Only God can guide me through this one. I will have faith and trust in Him to direct my paths.
“Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt show me the path of life; in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16: 1-11

LOVE that verse!!
The concerts sound fun. What's the name of your orchestra?
The orchestra is the Ocala String Ensemble. How are you doing?
I'm doing well- today is my first day of Christmas vacation so I'm enjoying today more than usual. :) You should visit my blog sometime -I usually update it at least twice a week.
Wish we could see you guys! Maybe we'll invite the Ocala String Ensemble over...
How are you doing?
Hey, just wanted to say that I found out that there is going to be a performance of the Messiah, possibly two. A group of us may go to see it... :D
hey, um, sorry but that was me, Felecia that made that comment above. I accidentally signed in under that. *-*
Is your computer down? I have been checking for new posts regularly! :D
Laura - I am doing well...hope all is well with you and your folks. Our orchestra always loves road trips...I sent you a letter...you should get it soon.
Felecia - My husband has been taking the laptop to work for the last several weeks, and the days I have had it, I've been so busy. I'll write you a letter soon. I will be working with Frank starting next week, so I'll be busier than ever. Still; I'll find a moment or two to sit down, relax, and write a letter or two!
Your middle name is Felecia's moms name "Elizabeth". We miss your sweet and colorful letters. But somehow "growing up" does that to you. Gets you busier and busier as the years roll by. Please feel free to visit my blogs: http://reflectionsofamothersheart.blogspot.com/ and http://sendoutthylightohgod.blogspot.com/
OK! I'll be looking forward to your letter. =)Would you like me to write you on your e-mail?
Probably snail mail is best for now...I don't have access to the computer very much right now. But I can snail mail as much as I like. With work, orchestra, and everything else I have gotten so busy; but my favorite past time is still writing. I can't go too many days without writing. :-) Love you all.
OK! I don't have your new address but maybe if you write me I can get it then? :D Love to you too! Hope to hear from you soon!
O.k, I have a new web site that you might enjoy especially since you are a new bride. Please come and visit and take the quiz to see what kind of wife you are:
