watch me, Lorf
with joy today
that I may dance
as I pray.
let my song
ring loud and true,
echoing what
I've heard from You.
with hands held up
and lifted high,
listen to me sing
right through the sky.
with gracious joy
I will sing
and send praise to You,
my worthy King.
amen.

I am a cantor at my Church. Meaning I am the lead of the choir. It's the most unbelievable thing. I try to praise Him always through my voice and everything I do. :)

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
