    • Wow, thanks Angela. I would actually love to do some videos of my music, but I really don't have any idea how to do it! I'll ask some of the upBeat! artists and see if they know how to do that. I appreciate your kind words.

    • Do you think you could possibly do a YouTube video of your version of "All Things Are Possible"? It's one of my favourite songs and it enables me to believe that all things are really possible... the reconciliation of beliefs that don't seem possible to reconcile, the eventual unity of the church, the notion that we might live together without killing one another, the thought that we might unite to prevent hunger and environmental destruction... When you sing it, it is believable that Christ has really conquered hell. I like the hope that is made so manifest when you sing the song, and it would be encouraging to hear it sung, maybe with your church choir in the background doing the backup!

    • Marsha I have always loved your music! My good friends Elaine & Cheryl from Florida introduced me to your beuatiful music about 8 years ago! I have loved hearing it over & over again! I look forward to someday seeing you in concert as did Elaine & Cheryl! Your wonderful keep up the GREAT work your doing I know God has truely blessed you for ALL that you have done to further His work! God Bless you!!

    • The first thing I do when I pick up a hymnal at a church I am visiting is look for "For Those Tears" and I am disappointed when it isn't there. But I will keep looking!I am certain GOD knows who wrote it as He continues to bless your writing.

    • I know. Isn't that sad? I still have people tell me that they have torn my song or songs out of their hymnals. It was sweet Peggy Campolo who said, "Aren't they afriad GOD is going to know who wrote the song?"

    • I now understand why they requested that we no longer sing For Those Tears I died at church,oh my

    • I listen to a christian radio station most days while at work. I was very suprised to hear you r you singing. I recognized your voice and song from a cd I have of yours. Im so happy they playe ed it. Have a great birthday month !!

    • Your concert tonight was such a blessing! Thank you for sharing both your pain and your joy.

    • Your story about forgiveness prompted me to write a letter to a man who abused me as a teenager, letting him know that at 46, what he did still haunts me. I feel like I can finally let this go. Thank you!

    • Marsha, I would like to thank you for your music ministry. One song in particular is For Those Tears I Died. We occasionally sing this song during communion at MCC-Topeka. It touches me so much...by the time I'm halfway through the second verse, I have to stop singing to hold back the tears! God bless you!

Just for the record- 12/2009

Well, when I post these little notes on the website, it reflects the date that I posted them.  I never noticed that YOU all can't see that date, so let me UPdate you a bit.  It is now December.  Cindy's birthday month (Dec 1st) as well as brother-in-law Chris' (Dec. 26th) and my son Johnny's (Dec. 25th).  Yes, I know it's hard to believe but I had a kid on Christmas Day.  I had a terrible time convincing anyone, mind you.  My husband at the time, Russ, said, "oh, you just think that because it's Christmas, go back to sleep and see if you still feel that way in an hour."  I called my mother to come watch my 2 year old, Naomi, but my mother said, "Oh you just think that because it's Christmas, go back to sleep and see if you still feel that way in an hour."  Then I called my doctor to say the pains were 5 minutes apart and he said, "Oh you just think that because it's Christmas, go back to sleep and see if you still feel that way in an hour."  By the time I convinced anyone to take me to the hospital I had the baby in about an hour!  Of course, I'd carefully taught my daughter about the true meaning of Christmas, so she was sure that I brought home the baby Jesus :-)

Remember that keeping the "Christ" in "Christmas" means living out the life of Christ in each of us - even in traffic jams, long lines, short budgets and grumpy Santas. The real challenge is letting the love of Jesus have room in our hearts and to be that light that leads others to Him.

To really keep up with us, you just need to look under the "chronicles" tab to see the monthly newsletter.  Have wonderful HolyDays!  Love to each of you, Marsha and Cindy
