Having a Musical Christmas Day

It is a beautiful, white Christmas here with snow still falling. I hope to make it back to Atlanta tomorrow if the weather allows.

I AM SO HAPPY THIS CHRISTMAS! I have been listening to music from years and years ago, thankful that I can record some of these songs in 2011. I plan to record "He Looked Beyond My Fault" with a piano in Atlanta next month and also finish a song I wrote last year called "Livin' For God Alone" for my next Christian music CD. I listened to "Soon And Very Soon" today by Andre Crouch, and, of course, wanted to record it, too. I keep thinking about the inmates at Angola and what songs will mean a lot to them when I return to sing at the prisons. I found an old lyric I co-wrote years ago called "No More Prisoner Of Yesterday." It is perfect! I have to record it and will post the lyrics soon.

All presents have been opened, and a turkey is in the oven. My mother has played the piano much of the day, and I have reminisced listening to old music. I am about to do some stretches in front of the fire. I am excited about all God has planned in 2011, remembering that every single day I can celebrate the birth of Jesus by abiding in the new LIFE He has given me and not taking for granted any freedom He has granted me on the inside (Galatians 5:1) to put my heart at ease within my being, free from sin and any habit or course of living that "enslaves" me.
