I'm not sure how good the video is, but the pictures are kind of blurry. I'll download them later to see what can be done with them. When Jr comes here for her birthday, I will have him help me with the video.

I will get another chance next week for the video. I'm sure they will be dressed differently for the afternoon performance.

I had never heard Who Would Imagine A King so I checked it out.

Here is Whitney Houston

It is a very pretty song.

Thanks, Teenie.

I cannot take credit for her talent. :) She has been singing since she was 2. She loves music.

Wearing Red!
"Merry Christmas to our
Wonderful Troops"

...How are you feeling? Do you still have your grandson on FRidays?

Been pretty tired lately but luckily no nausea. Gotta drink at least two litres of water a day to flush out the drugs.

Friday's are the day I don't pick up our grandson from school - do Mon - Thurs.

Great Christmas graphic, teenie!

[jaycee]

Very unusual and very lovely, Meg.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Polly.

It will be interesting to hear what she has to say after school today. She felt pretty proud last night.

The other two soloists were another 6th grader (a boy) and a 9th grade girl.

[JustAmy]

Thank you.

[JustAmy]

I LOVE this, Teenie. It is perfect! Thank you for finding it and sharing it with us.

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Jaycee.

[JustAmy]

So cute and with a wonderful frame. Thank you, Jaycee.

[oldteen]

My mistake...I was thinking it was only on FRidays. Sure hope it's not too much for you to keep up with.

You're a true G-pa!

[oldteen]

Perhaps no credit for her talent but much credit for the young lady she is. You and Mr. Just have/are doing a wonderful job in the upbringing department!

Happy Friday to Amy’s Place!

"... we each are given a gift/talent ... some are fortunate enough to know what their gift is ...

As for me I flounder ... being a Jack of many things and not very good at any of them.

Wait ... does that fit every man?"

I like to say that a jack-of-all-trades is master of himself. I employ tradesmen, when the situation demands it, but I will not be their victim.

As to "talent", see below: (You realize that as fresh meat for my contact list, I feel free to dump all these crusty old poems on you, don't you?)

Talent On Loan

The talent’s on loan,
The interest is due.
What have you done with,
What’s been given to you?

You say you’ve been busy,
And haven’t kept track?
Well, debt’s piling up,
Spend less time in the sack.

You’ve been given a challenge,
And a coin to invest,
Break it out of its hiding place,
Get it off of your chest.

The Lord is expecting,
Your time in review,
When you’re standing on stage,
Just how will you do?

Was your talent in patience,
And setting things right?
Dominoes stacked up just so,
Make an interesting sight.

Or have you helped others,
And bettered yourself?
Let’s hope you’ve not hidden,
This coin on a shelf.

Wherever you’ve traveled,
You’ve never been broke,
As long as you’ve treasured,
God’s gift in your poke.

Dispensing it wisely,
Investing for needs,
It grows with its usage,
Like all His good seeds.

Oh, Deo, I’m so sorry that you are sick. Please know that you are in my prayers. I will pray that God will help you make it thru the recital.

Take care of yourself ... I will keep you in my prayers.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for bringing some of our favorite people to AP again, Conor.

Happy Friday.

[JustAmy]

This is wonderful, NnB. I don’t remember seeing it before. Must have been posted on another thread. :)
