A new year means a new group of Disney on Ice shows debuting for the public. All right, I know we’re over halfway through the year, but so many interesting things have been happening with Disney so far in 2012 that this got pushed back to the list. Plus, it’s unlikely that, given how new most of these shows are, they’re going anywhere for a while. Speaking of shows that aren’t going anywhere: Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic is still going strong. It started in 1999 to commemorate the Disney legacy, and although it’s sometimes toured under a … Continue reading →

love church music, and I especially love listening to it on Sundays. There is something about spiritual music that can definitely set the mood for you to attend church and feel the spirit.

Rescuers Find Missing Autistic Boy by Playing Music

An eight year old boy who has autism left his school playground. In order to lure the child out from wherever he was hiding, rescuers played the boy’s favorite song, (which happened to be by Ozzy Osbourne). Fortunately, the boy appeared to be fine. An online survey done by The Interactive Autism Network (IAN) asked questions of over 800 parents who had at least one child who had autism. Half of the parents reported that their child has, at one time or another, wandered off or eloped. Out of this group of parents, over 50% of them said that their … Continue reading →

Primary Music

In my primary right now we are going through a bit of a transitional period as we have a new primary chorister, and are trying to work out the kinks. So, I’ve been reading a lot in the church handbook about the purpose of singing time, and the purpose of the primary songs. Something stood out to me as I was reading today that got me thinking. I loved singing in primary as a child. I still do, actually. Some of those songs I sang as a child are still with me despite my horrible memory. Even to this day, … Continue reading →
