The difference between a straight script and a musical is when it gets emotional-- my characters break out in song. I put three of my songs on my site-- hope you enjoy.  Larry

I love music!! It has touched my life for good and I love to share what I have found. My favorite station to listen to online is http://yldsr.com/

I was once asked a question about music. "What ten songs best describe you as a person?" I have been working on that list. I am not completely finished and I have ideas about some, but the top two are: 2. Perfectly Me - by Jessie Clark Funk and #1 is One Man Woman - by The Judds.

I can honestly say that I am a "One Man Woman, I want a one woman man..."

Hi! I love music too. I love to sing and dance with it. Every morning, I play music that fits my mood and it gets me to do my chores with fun.When i take my baby to sleep or want to calm her down, i play children hymns and it always works. I love children songs...they're like prayers and when u really sing from the heart, it will give tears to your eyes..,I feel like a little child talking to my Heavenly Father when I sing them...

Leslie Fallis and I have done some playing together and have tossed around the idea of forming a string quartet to go work on a cruise ship for 6 months.  Any one out there proficient on violin or viola who'd like to join us?

I have been married to a wonderful artist, my first husband was and is a well known conductor. He often told me that music has a secret dimension... other then a movie, a play... because music makes your mind wander on paths it takes you... for every person a certain melody could mean something else, remind them of something else... but music does that to everybody. I also believe that music can heal... or sicken... I hope everybody here in GaGa will be aware of that quality in music... and choose wisely when they want to listen to music. And don't get me wrong! I don't mean that the music we listen to should all be angelic  :) It can be any kind of music, as long as it makes you feel good and happy and helps you to be the best you :) Just LISTEN to your kind of music and find out if it does that for you :) And if it doesn't, find yourself other music you like, that does!

I'm close to your thinking Deborah: music is a way to express our emotion, by making it or just by listening it it allows us to let our emotions go out, express love or sadness or whatever we feel at a precise moment. I often awake the morning with a song / music in my head & that gives me the "state of mind" for the day! I love a lot of different musics from classical to pop song, from world music to LDS artist. Don't worry Marianne: we cannot all love everything & have the same "taste" on music! ;) lol

I love music to dance on it, to just feel it, or to be a part of it. I'm grateful to have learn some music basics & to play & sing as it helps me to go thru life. I receive a special advice in my patriarcal blessing to keep using my artistic talents because they will help me to go through the difficulties of life... I think they did, they do & they will :) Sometimes I feel so much more comfortable to open my mouth & sing than to use words to express myself. Sometimes I'm not able to speak but I fell the song or music I hear as if I was this song or this music.

Music is very precious & powerful. I remember once with my companion in the mission field. We were going to visit a less active couple to share a spirutal thought but when we arrive they had a friend over who had some spychological issues & who was in a "crisis" & started to insulted us being very mad & starting to be some violent.... He finaly left but we were all "shell-shocked", afraid & some even crying... not feeling the spirit for sure. We decided to sing some hymns & as we did the spirit came back & we were able to have a spiritual time together.

Music can be used for good as well as for bad. It's up to us to carefully choose the right side! ;)

 

PS: Sorry Marianne, I don't know any good website to download music ;o...

To me music is the expression and prayer of a sincere heart.

Comment by Marianne McGee on November 21, 2010 at 4:06pm

Rebekah's Motherly Influence

Photo Source: See Reference Below

Written by Julia Simmons for GAGASAINTS, May, 2012

 

There once was a woman named Rebekah, who was at a well, getting water during Bible times. She had no idea she was an answer to prayers for the man near by. She offered to get him and his camels water. He was amazed at this virgin, who no man had known. Before she left, the same man approached her and asked her who she was, then put jewelry on her, met her brother, went to her house and proposed a plan whereby she would marry the son (Isaac) of his master (Abraham). Yes, daddy Abraham needed grandchildren! After all, he was told he would have a tremendous posterity!

 

Meanwhile, Isaac went to the field to meditate. To his delight, she arrived, got off the camel, veiled her face and was brought to his tent where she became his beloved wife. He was forty years old when he married her. He loved her. However, she didn’t have children until he prayed to God asking for her to get pregnant. She struggled during the pregnancy and was told by God that two nations wrestled inside of her. Can you imagine? She was told that the younger one would rule over the older one.

 

However, Isaac favored the older one and would have given him the greater blessing if it was not for Rebekah’s wise intervention. She told Jacob to get some meat so she could cook it and she put together an outfit that would feel and smell like the other son. The younger one, who received the blessing, was named Jacob.  She had to warn him about his brother, Esau’s, anger toward him. He was obedient and went to stay with her brother for a while.

 

Later, she mourned because Esau was not married to righteous women. She begged her husband to help Jacob marry a righteous woman, even if she lived farther away. Her husband listened to her. Jacob married beautiful Rachel soon after. Rachel’s son Joseph was his favorite, so this made his other kids jealous and they sold him to the Egyptians. Meanwhile, Rachel was told that he was dead.  While Joseph was in Egypt, she had another son.

 

Joseph’s children became heirs of great blessings and many of his descendants are Latter Day Saints today. What would have come of all of this had Rebekah not had faith to marry someone she did not know? What would have happened if she had not insisted that her son marry a worthy woman? Would Joseph ever had been born? Would the 12 tribes of Israel even exist (they were created by Jacob’s 12 sons, who he had through Leah, Rachel and their servants).

 

Rebekah’s faithfulness has helped to bring about millions of lives into the gospel. She did as her mother and brother had hoped when they said, “…be thou the mother of thousands of millions and let they seed possess the gate of those which hate them.” 1. She is likely great grandmother of yours; a mother you can call your own, who loves you, wants the best for you and did all she could to save your soul. Bless Rebekah and may our lives honor her through the way we live our faith today.
