I know why I
write. I am so dimwitted that I cannot talk right. Sometimes I cannot
make sense when I talk. I actually have to have time to think. I hate
talking on the phone or spontaneous talk on news. I cannot think fast
enough to know everything I want to say. It all starts to come to me
in the middle of the night what I should of said. Then I got to get
up and write it all out. My thoughts on why I joined the WALBURG
GOSPEL CHOIR, this year of our Lord, 2017.
WHAT the WALBURG
GOSPEL CHOIR means to me:
IT IS FUN, FUN, FUN TO ME!
IT IS FUN, FUN, FUN TO ME!
I LOVE SUNSHINE
WILLY OUR CHOIR DIRECTOR AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SING IN IT. He plays
the accordion and wears a Bavarian costume and is a full blown
character. He is from Germany but loves America and wants to stay
here. As far as I am concerned, he has a won a place at the table. HE
LOVES AMERICA!
He, is awesome
and funny and downright good to us all. The people are some of the
sweetest people I have met anywhere in my life. They are Germans but
so full of love for all, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM. They give
GERMANY, A GOOD NAME. I love going to practice and being involved in
the singing aspect of it all. I LOVE WALBURG!
I love my
daughter Rebecca Jemison, who told me about the choir, she had read about it in the paper and took me to
my first practice. She knew I loved to sing and thought it was the
perfect solution for me. She sang with us the first time but her two
girls ABIGAIL(ABBY) AND ELIZABETH(IZZY) were involved in so many
other things that she has to Uber them too, that she could not keep
it up, PLUS SHE IS A TEACHER TO HER HOMESCHOOLED KIDS. SHE TEACHES
BIOLOGY. KEEPS HER BUSY TO SAY THE LEAST. But my 4 kids are all grown
up, so those Uber years were past me, SO I COULD GO~
I love my
husband Don Levins who so faithfully takes me to choir and stays in
WALBURG and reads while we practice. My number one fan who loves,
loving me so I can have fun at Choir. HE IS FANTASTIC! IT IS ALL
GOOD! He taught computers on the Navajo Indian Reservation for 23
years until he was diagnosed with cancer. But he is so lovable and
funny and workaholic, you'd never know it. He never even talks about
it. Me, well, I am different. BUT THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY, ALTOGETHER.
AND THAT BRING
ME TO, WHAT I THINK ABOUT CHRISTMAS.
PEOPLE I LOVE
'SANTA CLAUS'
IT IS FUN, FUN, FUN TO ME!
HOPE: During my most intense moments of pleasure, I think about the 25th of December, CHRISTMAS. I THINK OF SANTA CLAUS AND ALL THE THINGS I LOVE THAT I MIGHT GET, AND I AM OVERWHELMED BY IT ALL. WOW! THE TOGETHERNESS OF PEOPLE WHOM I LOVE WHO GET TO VISIT AND SHARE THE HOLIDAY WITH ME.

Of course, there
is always the cleaning the house, days in advance, the cooking for a
crowd, AND the gift buying, LOADS OF WORK. BUT I DO SO LOVE TO
DECORATE FOR CHRISTMAS AND ALL HOLIDAYS, FOR THAT MATTER!
Then I love
seeing all the pretty decorations people have PUT UP OUTSIDE just for
this occasion and it makes it all worthwhile. The drudgery is soon
replace with excitement of what I might get. YES, I BELIEVE IN SANTA.

GIFTS-GIFTS-GIFTS. CHRISTMAS REALLY IS FUN FOR ME! I BELIEVE PEOPLE
OUGHT TO LOOSEN THOSE PURSE STRINGS AND GIVE, GIVE, GIVE FOR
CHRISTMAS.

MY ATTENTION ON JESUS. WHOSE BIRTH I CELEBRATE AT CHRISTMAS.
IT IS FUN, FUN, FUN TO ME!
IT IS FUN, FUN, FUN TO ME!
HOPE. During my
most intense moments of suffering, I think, who knows, maybe the Lord
will return. HOPE!
HOPE! WHOM WE
DO NOT KNOW WHEN HE WILL RETURN.
Even so Lord
JESUS, COME.
HOPE! BECAUSE OF
JESUS, I HAVE 'HOPE' FOR THIS CHRISTMAS!
