Insist on yourself; never imitate.
Your own gift you can present
every moment
with the cumulative force
of a whole life’s cultivation;
but of the adopted talent of another
you have only an extemporaneous
half possession.
That which each can do best,
none but his Maker can teach him.

Also capturing outrageous beauty left and right with my Nikon D7000 blissfully married to my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D AF prime glass. Don't be jeal.

When I am gone
Please remember me
As a heartfelt laugh,
As a tenderness.
Hold fast to the image of me
When my soul was on fire,
The light of love shining
Through my eyes.
Remember me when I was singing
And seemed to know my way.
Remember always
When we were together
And time stood still.
Remember most not what I did,
Or who I was;
Oh please remember me
For what I always desired to be:
A smile on the face of God.

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
II Corinthians 4
>>>>++<<<<
On the mountains and in the valleys,
By the banks of the crystal stream,
He wandered whose eyes grew heavy
With the grandeur of his dream.
The seer whose grave none knoweth,
The leader who rent the sea,
The lover of men who, smiling,
Walked safe on Galilee --
All dreamed their dreams and whispered
To the weary and worn and sad
Of a vision that passeth knowledge.
They said to the world: "Be glad!
"Be glad for the words we utter,
Be glad for the dreams we dream;
Be glad, for the shadows fleeing
Shall let God's sunlight beam."
But the dreams and the dreamers vanish,
The world with its cares grows old;
The night, with the stars that gem it,
Is passing fair, but cold.
What light in the heavens shining
Shall the eye of the dreamer see?
Was the glory of old a phantom,
The wraith of a mockery?
Oh, man, with your soul that crieth
In gloom for a guiding gleam,
To you are the voices speaking
Of those who dream their dream.
If their vision be false and fleeting,
If its glory delude their sight --
Ah, well, 'tis a dream shall brighten
The long, dark hours of night.

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again.

Wednesday, December 10, 2008 at 08:44PM To me he will always be The Phantom of the Opera, but Michael Crawford's ethereal voice is perfect for a song such as O Holy Night. I'm pretty sure he holds out the last note longer than anybody! And check out the darling children who join Michael in this great performance with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Merry Christmas!

You could post this song daily and I don't think I would get sick of it - this is another beautiful rendition.
I'm glad you liked it, Mari! And I agree ... one of the joys of the Christmas season is listening to O Holy Night every single day!
That was nice. He has a surprisingly good singing voice.
To me, he'll always be the Frank Spencer from "Some Mothers Do Have 'Em". It takes a bit of getting past that one. ;)
Jay, that's a MC incarnation with which I am not familiar! Sounds like maybe it had better stay that way! Like, seriously, shut up and sing ... LOL!
No kidding! LOL!
By the way - you sent me an eCard, but I can't open it. :(
Jay ... well I never! I'll trot back over to Hallmark and see if I can get to the bottom of that!
I am a big fan of Michael Crawford and would you believe I had the pleasure of hearing and seeing him play the Phantom many years ago in Los Angeles? What a heavenly voice. I can hear he hasn't changed! Wonderful! I just thought about him recently and wondered what he'd been doing. Nice to hear him again with such a beautiful song!
Keli, I would love to hear MC sing in person! How fortunate you were able to see and hear him as the Phantom! What a great role. He has an amazing gift in his unique voice.
WOW! Well, I'm a big Phantom fan, but when you've got pipes like that, it would be a shame to limit them! The kids were adorable, although I thought the first little girl was going to have a melt down when he put the microphone up to her, bless her heart!
Tracie, I thought the first little girl looked like she was singing a different song ... but the second one was so into it, I think she would have finished the number by herself if he'd let her! So cute!
