And if you read this far I will share my own MUSIC quote that I wrote in my journal October 2, 1985. Music is in me... it is my testimony... it is my soul.
Music - it's the song of the heart.
It's a Melody ready to be sung
Notes finding a pure direction forward
In hopes of finding Harmony
And when intertwined into a rich Symphony
it is a glorious and righteous Song of praise unto the Lord.
Like MUSIC - I should make my life that way also...
Striving each day to live pure and clean and striving forward to perfection and living in complete harmony with Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ to make in the final day a rich symphony of all the righteous souls in the celestial kingdom.
Did you really read this far? Well, Don't be afraid to comment!

Music may achieve the highest of all missions: She may be a bond between nations, race and states, Who are strangers to one another in many ways; She may unite what is disunited, And bring peace to what is hostile.
