Thanks Donna! Your comment was helpful to me as I’m right now in the middle of all those “upcoming” projects from May!
One thing at a time and use the hours God’s given for His glory… very good advice. Sounds a lot like Matthew 6:33-34: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Thanks again. Continuing to pray for you…

Craig, you have said all this so well. First, I am impressed that you are so goal oriented, but you get a lot done that way. Indeed, our worth is not connected to our productivity as God loves us just the way we are. I find each day challenging. I was just saying to myself about an hour ago, I have too much to do today. Then, reading this blog I realized that I just have to do one thing at a time and use the hours given me for His glory. You are a treasure, to God, and to my family!

New Choral Piece for Schools

I just finished the first piece of a new school children's choral series with lyricist and friend, J. Paul Williams. The series, which will use a variety of composers, but always Paul's texts, will be called "The American Experience" and will be published by Gentry Publications (a division of Fred Bock Music Company).
The piece, "Paul Bunyan" is for two part children's choir, and I think it will be a lot of fun to sing and perform. When I write for children I always try and write something that I think will be fun for them and for their audiences as well (usually their parents). This piece tells several of the Paul Bunyan legends in less than 3 minutes!
The due date was September 1st, but I worked hard to finish it today because my whole family is heading to Pennsylvania tomorrow to visit my parents for the next week. I'll be singing some new songs at my parents church, Beaverdam Mennonite on Sunday at 10:45 a.m., so if you're in the Corry, PA area, I hope you'll stop by and say "Hi."
