Jace is working, liking the banking part of his internship, loving me and he even spoiled me with roses on our 3 month aniversary :)
I quit my job at parts service and will be taking up a place at the Pizza Pie Cafe after this week!
mom is starting to get ready for Brian and Elizabeth's wedding and wanted me to get some watter beads yellow or blue, but unfortunately there wasnt any yellow or blue... so i bought some clear ones and decided to die them tuquoize to see if the colour would stick for mom. Well, it did! but then I had three quarts of water beads and no idea what to do with them. well we have this tomato plant and jace suggested that we put the water beads in there, well it turned out soo cool!
School is out for all the college students here in Idaho, this weekend here was crazy! there was so many people here for graduation, and just to come get students, etc. I was asked to givve a musical number in sacrament meeting today, because it is the 24th of July i decided that I would sing 'Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.'
This morning as I went up to the church to practice on the grand piano i read over the words of that beautiful song, and realized that I had never acctually read over the words with the intent of understanding what the song was trying to portray.
Come thou fount of ev'ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy never ceasing call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet sung by flaming tounges above.
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it, mount of thy remdeeming love.
The version that I decided to sing is an arrangement by Sally DeFord. in her version the muscic begins and is moving kind of like a fountain, I thought. The words talk about a fount of blessings and as I pondered more on the words I discovered that this first verse is just all about someone realizing how blessed they are, and wanting to serve and learn songs that the angels sing. as the song goes on the person is ready to fight and stand.
