you don't have to be over 70

The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

you don't have to be over 70
04.28.06 (4:20 pm)   [edit]

to appreciate or even (gasp!) sing hymns.  Go to HymnSite.com to get all the hymnals you could ask for!  Not only can you hear the piano version of these songs, but also the organ and bells!  What more could you ask for, seriously?  I've been partial to bells, as that's the newest and least familiar instrument of the three to me.  I've taken note of what hymnals I know, in my expanding 'book/movie/song' lists.  Don't freak out when you're directed back to the home page after changing instruments.  You can then go to whatever hymn you want, and then either click on random songs or whatever you want, and it will all be in your chosen instrument 'til you change it.  I didn't know "Dona Nobis Pacem" meant "give them peace."  I was probably told so when I sang it in junior high, but it obviously didn't sink in.  Too bad you don't hear all of the parts at once with this version (it's kind of like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" in a sense.)

"If I only had a brain."   That's what the phone maitenance guy whistles as he leaves the suite.  Does that mean something?  I haven't asked him yet, but I've only known him 2 days.  I wonder, because my dad used to always sing/hum/whistle it when I did something air-brained growing up.  I don't think the whistling's directed at me in this case- maybe just the situation?  Or maybe that's his tune of choice, regardless of where he is or what's going on.

Weird, that song came up in conversation today...

i have been known to sing/whistle/hum it on occasion. Maybe he's just one of those people who's always got some tune on the brain. Luckily i'm good at changing the station.

Reply to Aaron von Choate:
I totally understand 'changing the stations.' I almost always have a song playing, and the ability to change stations when it's over-played or annoying or whatnot is a good talent.
Hymns can be so deep- straight out of Scripture- I'm so glad my church sings them every week (praise songs, too).
