Recently I was blessed with another investor.   

The piece below was purchased and with deep gratitude I delivered it.

There is something deeply fulfilling about sharing creativity into someone else's corner of the world.  No matter how big or small.

I've probably stated this before, but, I'll say it again...(because I honestly can't remember)....it gives me that awe-inspiring sense of purpose.....belonging.

The piece above is not just a piece of art...but, it actually represents another area in my life that is a creative avenue.

I write music.  I write songs that other people sing with me.  

My deepest desire is to write pieces that move people ....move them toward God.  

That reminds us of how we need to stay close to Him, allow Him to move us when necessary and give Him praise for Who He is.

Music has always been a big part of my life. 

As a child, my brothers and I sang songs we learned in Sunday School....or the Christian school we attended.....every time we climbed into the back seat of the car on the way to wherever our mother decided she needed to go, we sang.  

We even made up our own vocal instruments for sound effects.

We sang in the backyard when we played...we sang at home....we sang at church.

We sang our first trio piece in church when I was about 14.

"Do You Know My Jesus".....was the song we sang.

We would even play "church" .   One of my brothers was the preacher, the other a 'church attendee" of whom we chose a different one every time we played......and I was the church organist and choir director.....(our main instrument at the time was the organ....so, anything that was the "main thing"..I was going to play!)

My parents sang in church together as a duet.  My dad played the guitar....rather electric or acoustic and they sang tunes from the Happy Goodmans, Hempill's, Hinson's...etc.  

We heard those tunes so much......we even sang those in the car....along with our parents.

As I got older, I was incorporated into the Duet...thus, making it a Trio.

Moving on up in life......I taught myself to play piano on my first baby grand.   It was what I wanted to learn to play on.....I didn't want to learn on a keyboard...I wanted a baby grand.   So, we bought one.  A used one and it did me just fine.

In a nutshell....hopefully, I didn't wear you out with all the "singing"....music has played, and still does, a huge part of my life.

I guess I'll keep on singing till the Lord tells me to hush......hahahaha.

Till next time.....

Happy trails to you!

Over and out,

Mrs. Rogers
