We started getting ready for a small Children’s Christmas program this morning. Kids always make it interesting.
Children’s Church Leader: I am already hearing Christmas music. Are you?
#1 Kid: We only listen to Christian music.
CCLeader: That’s great… so I know you will hear Christmas music soon. Does anyone know who came to see Baby Jesus at Christmas?
#2 Kid: Santa Claus.
CCLeader: I think he might have come to a later birthday of Jesus.
#3 Kid: Sheep keepers!
CCLeader: YES! That’s right. They called them shepherds and they were not very popular.
#3 Kid: Except with the sheep!
CCLeader: Oh, yes. I am sure the sheep loved them. The amazing thing was that God sent the heavenly host of angels to these Sheep keepers FIRST to tell them the Messiah had come. Does anyone one know what a heavenly host is?
(Crickets)
CCLeader: What is a ‘host’?
#1 Kid: I know, but it’s hard to explain.
#2 Kid: It’s like the home team.
CCLeader: Good answer. I think it’s time to sing a song now.

The boring stuff: Born in Kentucky, I became a Virginian at three weeks old as my dad took his first full time pastorate in Richmond, VA. From ages four to fifteen, I grew up in Farmville, Virginia, attended Prince Edward Academy for grades three through nine. On to Marion, VA, for three years and then, Radford University completing my BS in Music Education and then MS in Special Education, later becoming a National Board Certified teacher of Special Education , ages 2-21, primarily working with Learning Disabled, Emotionally Disabled and Mentally Disabled students and adults in various public education and church settings.
The important stuff:
I have loved writing since I was quite young. My passions are for helping others reach their God-given potential, for encouraging Christian growth and lifestyle, and for loving and serving others all I can. I am powerfully in love with my husband and we are partners in all endeavors. We make beautiful music together. Seriously! We both play piano and guitar; we write and arrange music. I am learning the cello and playing with xylophones.
