Power of Music

We were deeply touched by the choirs at Utah Valley University. They had a concert Friday night at Temple Square and they dedicated it to our sweet little princess, Mercydez. It was so beautiful. I found myself crying. I am a lover of music. Music is powerful. Many will argue that music doesn't influence a person to do or be a certain way. I disagree. I believe that music is POWER.

I loved "The Lord is My Shepherd". It was beautiful and so touching. I just cried... beautiful.

There was one other piece that just... it was beautiful. It's called "Sing Me To Heaven". It made me reflect on the moments surrounding Mercydez's passing. That is a tender place in my heart that I don't allow myself to visit frequently. It's too hard. It's a sacred place to visit, and more than anything I want to visit. I just can't frequent it too much or I ache too deeply. But, that song was powerful.

We are doing well. I ask myself, "What does 'well' mean?" To be honest, I don't know. Sometimes it means we are happy. Sometimes it means we are sad. Sometimes it means we just are. Again, it's hard to explain.

...speaking of music, I wanted to spread the word... Paul Cardall (click on his name for more info) is a musician from around here (Utah). He belongs to our Heart Group and he is awaiting a heart transplant.



There is benefit concert going on in his behalf on Monday, April 6th. Peter Breinholt, Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband, and Kurt Bestor will be some of those performing that night. All proceeds are being donated to Paul Cardall. If you are interested in attending, you can purchase tickets by clicking HERE. We have been greatly blessed by those around us, I just want to help spread the word that the opportunity to help another in need is at the door.

Nic and I are hoping to attend.

Thank you for your prayers. We have felt them.

We want you to know, we do not doubt that families are eternal in nature. Our little Mercydez still lives. We will see her again.
