Danielle---------I received your very sweet voicemail (my phone didn't bother to ring, or I would have actually answered the phone)! And yes, we'll be in FLA during the baptism. Just start praying now that my body has readjusted to morning wake-ups by that time!!!
Becky------I saw you in person before I saw your shout out, but I thought it still deserved to be acknowledged!
TO ALL-------Because Laurie expressed concern over Internet Explorer's safety these days I made the switch to Mozilla Foxfire (as she recommended)----I didn't even know what that cute little desktop icon represented until she inspired me to click on it!!! ANYWAY, the point is that I've been discovering a whole new world of fun little tools, shortcuts, tricks, etc that are available with Foxfire. And among them is FoxyTunes, which is a music "system" that actually allows you to share the song you're listening to on this very post. Or, to put it more clearly: Right now I'm playing some favorite tunes via Windows Media Player on my computer; when a "share-worthy" song began playing I clicked the little music icon on the toolbar above this post and a link instantly appeared so that you guys can now click on it and have a listen as well! Of course, I haven't tried this before so I'm just assuming it will work properly once it's posted!

The song is by a folksy Christian singer/songwriter I was introduced to back in college, but I never had more than one tape of his (remember those?!). The other day I ran across this one for the first time, and felt like the timing was meant to be. The song bears a message I once knew well, but seemed to have forgotten as of late. If you're like me, finding a song that touches the soul is like reading a book that totally sucks you in----you can't help but share it with everyone around you!! I hope you enjoy it!

Now playing: Pierce Pettis - God Believes in You (Pierce Pettis)
via FoxyTunes
PS---AFTER POSTING THIS I TESTED THE SONG LINK, AND I'M NOT SURE HOW IT WILL WORK FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T REGISTERED WITH FOXYTUNES. FOR ME I WAS TAKEN TO THEIR WEBSITE WHERE A PAGE WAS FILLED WITH EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER KNOW ABOUT PIERCE PETTIS, INCLUDING THE LYRICS TO THIS PARTICULAR SONG, AND AFTER A BIT OF SEARCHING I REALIZED THAT A TOOLBAR HAD APPEARED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE, AND ON IT WAS THE OPTION TO PLAY THE MUSIC (AND OTHER MUSIC). PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GUYS CLICK ON IT!!!
