ABOUT ME

 I have always had a love of music. In fact, I grew up in a home where music was a big part of life. We were always listening to beautiful music as well as spending hours with family singing music together.

I remember many Sunday evenings with my parents and grandparents sitting in the living room in Anaheim, California, singing many hymns and primary songs. Sometimes it was at one of my grandparent’s homes and sometimes at ours but it was always the same. I had grandparents and parents who played the piano and organ, and we were always able to sing.

 

My parents taught me the importance of music in my life and through the years I learned to love all types of music. I learned to love the classics, the 50s, 60s and more modern music but I always love the hymns and other spiritual music.

 

The times we spent singing of Sunday evenings were so memorable to me. As we sang the hymns, I didn’t just sing them I listened to and took into my heart the WORDS in the hymns. There were many times when the words overwhelmed me, and I’d cry.

 

I have always listened to the words to understand the meaning, and there have been some hymns, and other music, that I have a difficult time singing. The words remind me of the most important things in my life, my Father in Heaven, His son, Jesus Christ, and Their gospel in my life.

 

This book is something I’ve always wanted to do, as I have a love of music, singing praises to my Father and His Son, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to share those thoughts and feelings with others. This IS my testimony, my love, and my passion.
