The other day I was skimming through some old cds and I came across this little diddy. I’ve never had the chance to see In the Heights on Broadway but based on the soundtrack I would love to go if I have that chance. The following song has always reached deep within me and struck a heart string. Maybe it’s the intimidating responsibility to provide for a family in the future or maybe it relates to my own desires to change the world someday. I’m grateful that my parents have always been my greatest support and have never tried to hold me back from doing crazy things and living my dreams. I hope that I never become a stumbling block for my children either. The picture on the following clip is a bit weird at times but the audio was the best out of the Youtube clips that I found. Check it out…

Lyrics Here

Continuing on the Broadway theme. Here is a clip from the first show that I ever saw on Times Square, Wicked. I had never heard the soundtrack before winning the lottery tickets and getting front row seats. I have since listened to this beautiful arrangement over and over again. Absolutely stunning! The following is probably the most popular of the Wicked soundtrack… it’s sooooo GOOD! I feel like I’m ready for this in my life… Time to start defying gravity!

I think I’m going to buy myself a Christmas present this year. For Christmas break I am going to buy myself tickets to see Lion King in Vegas. Who wants to come? I mean really, Doesn’t it look fun?

Well, it’s been just over a month now since we had general conference. The great thing about general conference is that it lives on as we continue to study the talks that were given. Why don’t you take a few fifteen minutes to remind yourself about what we learned by watching the video below?

You can watch, read, and listen to all of these messages in full HERE.

My dear friends, general conference is a source of God’s word here on earth. The words written can lead us and direct us to make the most critical of decisions in our lives. As you read, not only will the things said touch your heart but the action of reading alone will allow God to whisper to you personal messages. God wants to speak to us. He wants to speak to YOU. He loves us. He loves YOU. He wants us to know His will for us. He wants YOU to know His will for YOU. Allow Him to talk to you by turning towards Him and listening. Please read and study the words of His servants, His apostles and prophets, as given in this last General Conference. If you do, you will know…

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.”
