I hope and pray we will sing it in a way tomorrow evening that communicates what you envisioned when you wrote it. ("Envisioned" isn't quite the right word for an aural experience, but I think of another right now....) When I looked up your website I did not expect to find this....Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. I wonder if you have read Kay Jamison's "Touched by Fire." I highly recommend it. So, now i have your website, and I'll get in touch with my friend Jay Walls, the composer I mentioned this evening. I just have a feeling that the two of you might connect, and looking around your website makes me think so even more. Looking forward to tomorrow evening. Blessings, Sheila Vamplin James,
