MY CHURCH ARTICLE IN THE ENSIGN, ISN’T IN TEXAS OR IN AUDIO YET ON THE CHURCH WEBSITE, BUT MY COMPLIMENTARY COPY ARRIVED. ODD 2 C EVERY1 ILLUSTRATED, BUT I WAS MORE EXCITED 2 C MK & THE KIDS DRAWN, THAN MYSELF! THE KIDS WERE DELIGHTED 2 BE DRAWN (FIA WANTS 2 TAKE IT 2 SHOW & TELL), & ZACH RELISHES THAT HE’S THE ONLY 1 THAT I NAME IN THE ENSIGN ARTICLE!
2 ANSWER SOME QUES.:
1. OF COURSE I REMEMBER PEOPLE IN INDY, & I HOPE MY ARTICLE IS SHARED W/ALL WHO WERE IN THE PRI. WHEN I TAUGHT, AS THEY WERE SOME OF MY INSPIRATION.
2. I AM WRITING A BOOK. IT’S BEEN ALMOST 4Y EARS SINCE I STARTED, & WASN’T SURE HOW 2 END, UNTIL RECENTLY. BUT I AM NOT A GREAT WRITER, DESPITE WHAT IS BEING PUBLISHED! (MANY WERE INVOLVED HERE, & IT’S VERY HUMBLING 2BE IN THE ENSIGN, ESP. WHEN U TYPE AS I DO!). BESIDES, I LACK THE SAME DRIVE 2 WORK ON MY BOOK. I SEEM 2 GO THROUGH SPURTS IF I GIVE MYSELF A DEADLINE. BUT AT THE RATE I’M GOING, IT WILL BE YEARS, IF I EVER FINISH!
Hi Jenny,
We got the Ensign today and our phone stared ringing- people all over Indy calling to let us know to read it.
Since we follow your blog, we knew it was coming, but had not told anyone. 😉
Your story gives us hope. My sweetheart had 2 strokes last year and some days our lives are still surronded by a for of uncertaintity. BUt today he told us how many hours until our daughter’s birthday and I nearly fell over. Sometimes he can say a word or two and it blows me away.
Music has also been our glue. He can hum a song and tell us what he wants to say by the words in the song. Some days he can sing clearly.
I have watched Ken transform because of the music we sing to and with him. He’s becoming unlocked through music.
We cried while I read your story out loud. Ken sends his love to you and his prayers for your continued healing.
Jenny! We were so excited to read your article in the Ensign. The kids were so thrilled to know that they know you! They miss you so much. Well, we all do, you know.
The article was wonderful, and I cried.:) I’m so thrilled for you. I eagerly awaite the day your book is published, no matter how long it takes. It will be fabulous!
