It's time for my church youth choir to sing again soon. I needed a song ready to practice with them on Sunday. So, two mornings ago, I was walking my dog, ACE, and the hymn "There Is A Green Hill Far Away" popped into my head. I have always loved that Sacrament Hymn, and I started a tradition of choosing that hymn for the sacrament hymn whenever there is a mission farewell. I started that with my step-son Richard, when he went to Scotland for his mission. It seemed so appropriate - you know - green hills - Scotland.
So I guess, knowing that the next time my youth choir has to sing, it is for a farewell of a young man going to Russia.
Anyway....I couldn't stop singing that hymn in my head on the whole walk. A nice arrangement started coming together. After I sang it once through, I said a quick prayer, "Please God, let me remember this when I get home."
When I got home, I had to spend an hour driving different children to their various schools. One of which is 6 miles away. Then I had to do some laundry - so that I could get dressed. Finally, in the afternoon, I was able to sit down - at my new, awesome Clavinova, and start writing.
I finished it, and I like it. So we started it yesterday. I think it will be nice.
