There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

JULY 3, 2012 -- SINGIN' THE SCRIPTURES

JULY 3, 2012 -- MUSICAL SCRIPTURE STUDY

Tonight we had a fun, spontaneous scripture study.  We were set to read "Words of Mormon" in the Book of Mormon and we started singing the song that lists the books in the Book of Mormon.  Then Benjamin, started singing the first verse of the chapter and then we decided that we would sing the whole chapter -- all 18 verses!  We used tunes such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Star Spangled Banner," "Jingle Bells," some on the spot improve tunes for some solos by Daniel and David, and Dad even tried Justin Bieber's "Baby" for Rebecca.  The content wasn't necessarily remembered but this will be a memorable scripture study session for years to come!
We had some good laughs at our attempts to make all the syllables fit!
It reminded me of when we were in  China and we sang the entire hymn book!!!  Each morning with scripture study, we would sing a hymn and we started with #1 and sang through every single hymn -- even the ones we didn't know at all or very well!!  Sometimes it sounded pretty sad but we had some good laughs at our attempts!
