Fiḍál (Grace), 8 Sharaf (Honor) 176 B.E. - Tuesday, January 7, 2020
PROMPT January 7th What skill (craft, instrument, sport, art, etc) do you wish you could do but can’t? What’s stopping you from learning? I enjoy listening to music. I enjoy singing along with the singer. I've sang in the shower. As a child, I was in the choir of the Southern Baptist Mission in Blackwell, Oklahoma. I would love to sing on stage, unfortunately I am tone deaf. On the bright side, I can write lyrics or at least poems that appear to be lyrics, so I guess I can do something musical. I just can't sing. Barbra Streisand is one of my favorite female vocalist. Even though, I can't come close to singing like her, I can and do singing along with her. On Sunday, January 5, I went to the Baha'i Center for the January Devotional meeting. One of t he videos that was shown was One God, with Ms. Streisand and I found myself singing along with the video. I don't know if anyone else noticed, and I don't think i t matters if anyone noticed or not. |
