Nice...<P>And off I go to bed, after a rousing discussion with 2 soulmates ( I should ask who he's referring to, I think. Hope it's his W )...<P>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>Marriage: the most important contract you'll ever enter into, and the most sacred.<P><BR>

I thought I was Christian CD Queen, but do not have hers.<P>I have some favorites for uplifting, but when I wanted comfort or to be "centered" I put on Michael W. Smith's "I'll Lead You Home" CD. I always liked it, but I put it on after the funeral of one of my friends. She had fought a long valient battle that I would prefer to say she won rather than lost. It was a cold rainy day, I sat and listened rocking, with my teary eyes shut. It was so powerful. Now I can't casually listen to that CD anymore, but when I need a little renewal, that's what I do.<P>Hm...today would be good.<P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

HEY!<P>You forgot ... "nah nah nah nah nah nah nah" etc.<P>LOL<P>My daughter has this CD and sings this song at the top of her lungs! (and she's GOOD too!)<BR>

Hey Maya -<P>I didn't put in the :<P>Whoa ....Whoa...Whoa....yeah! Either!!<BR>LOL!!<P>Have you listened to this whole CD? OH - it is awesome!!!<P>Actually you and ATW were the main people I was thinking of that this could lift .......Sometimes I feel so helpless when I see such good people so down and confused....<P>So throw this on and start singing and dancing around yourself....God it feels good!!!!!<P>NB - How are you feeling? 2soulmates: we all have our battles going on - don't we!!<P>Chris - I have not heard Rebecca St. James.....Is it something I can get lost in and dance around? Gotta be upbeat!!<P>FHL - Howdy stranger!!! YOU have to get this CD......takes the clouds away!!!<BR>What's wrong....are you down? I e'd you did you get it? My mail is still acting funny....<P>Thanks All....nahnah..nahnahnahnahnah<P>Sheba <P><BR>

Check your e-mail...long one just sent. How could you tell I was a little down?<P>I was trying to be quiet!<P>------------------<BR>Faith, Hope, Love Remain,<BR>but the greatest of these is Love.<BR>1 Corinthians 13:13

Sheba: I will definitely look for the CD. I need it right now. I am so down today, but at least not to the point of destruction. Thank you for the help! My love to you.

Don't start me on music. I thrive on the stuff and you are speaking of artists right up my alley. Jaci V is very good-looks, voice youth? what more could she have. Her song "On my knees" gives me goosebumps. I tend to like the new fresh up and coming artists with a little more soulfull approach to their music. One of my current fav's is Ginny Owens and I copied the words out of an earlier post makes you kinda stop and think.<BR>Ginny Owens (christian artist) have been an extreme comfort to<BR> me.<P> "If you want me to"<P> The pathway is broken<BR> And the signs are unclear<BR> And I don't know the reason why you brought me here<BR> But just because you love me the way that you do<BR> I'm gonna walk through the valley <BR> If you want me to.<P> 'Cause I'm not who I was<BR> When I took my first step<BR> And I'm clinging to the promise you're not through with me yet<BR> So if all of these trials bring me closer to you <BR> THen I will go through the fire <BR> If you want me to.<P> It may not be the way I would have chosen<BR> When you lead me through a world that's not my home<BR> But you never said it would be easy<BR> You only said I'll never go alone<P> So when the whole world turns against me<BR> And I'm all by myself<BR> And I can't hear you answer my cries for help<BR> I'll remember the suffering your love put you through<BR> And I will go through the valley<BR> If you want me to.<BR>.<P> <BR>Didn't paste in too good but you get the point. Another insightful artist is Susan Ashton, she has a song called "Stand" and one phrase is "stand with my face to the wind" and I just envision standing on the top of a mountain with all of life's troubles blowing like a cold north wind right in my face and just taking it. Jennifer Knapp is good but with a little harder edge.<BR>I wish I could hold a tune but can't carry one in a bucket, I make up for it in volume though, ha.
