CURRENTLY IN YOUR CD PLAYER: In my car: Veggie Tales Sing-a-long (with my son's
name Joey inserted throughout the songs), at home: Blott en dag by Carola. She's
swedish, and I'm enjoying it very much! It's an album of hymns by Lina Sandel,
the famous Swedish hymn writer who's known for writing "Day by Day"
and "Children of the Heavenly Father"
PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: giving birth
PET PEEVE: when people smoke, sitting on the tarmack forever
MOST EMBARRASSING CONCERT/LIFE EXPERIENCE:
Actually, I have so many, it's hard to pick.
WHAT HAS GOD BEEN TEACHING YOU LATELY? So much! Where do I begin? Mostly that I
need Him so desperately, I'm a miserable person when I don't spend time with
Him.
FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE: Again, I have a lot of "favorites"!
FAVORITE COLOR: white, or is that not a color?
FAVORITE SINGERS: Barbara Bonney, Renee Fleming, and Lucia Popp, all opera
singers as well as Sarah McLaughlin (fellow Canadian), Susan Ashton (she has an
incredible voice!), Peter Gabriel (very cool artist... his latest live concert
DVD is what our worship should look like... creative, passionate, honest and
everyone is singing their hearts out)
FAVORITE BOOKS/AUTHORS: Anne Lamott and her book "Traveling Mercies",
Annie Dillard and her book "Teaching a Stone to Talk" Madeleine
L'Engle--LOVE HER! All of her fiction and non-fiction, especially, "Walking
on Water", Mike Mason, especially "The Mystery of Marriage" and
"The Mystery of Children", "A Severe Mercy" by Sheldon
Vanauken, Psalms, Henri Nouwen, Frederick Buechner, and Eugene Peterson.
Currently reading "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller
FAVORITE PLACES: Puerta Vallarta, Mexico and home, of course!
FAVORITE SONG(S) ON YOUR ALBUMS: Tough One! On Bare My Soul, it would be You
Alone, Gloria and Bare My Soul for a three-way tie and on the Hymns album,
Immortal Invisible, although "It is well" has really been speaking to
my soul lately
WHO ARE YOUR HEROES/ROLE MODELS: my
mother--she teaches me what worship is all
about
IF YOU WEREN’T SINGING, WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING? I can't imagine doing
anything else!! I don't see it as a distinctive in my life, but rather a part of
everything I do. I sing while I shower, while I cook, while I change my baby's
diaper, at church, in the car, on stage and in the living room! |
