I have enjoyed listening, singing, analyzing, and even playing music.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There was a time when music was all that I thought of. I directed church choirs, I played the piano or organ at most worship services, I used my voice to sing praise to Jesus through solos. At the time, I would have never believed that my musical talents would be reduced to clicking on a Youtube video or singing with the crowd on Sunday in worship. But that\u2019s where I am in my life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I do love sharing those tunes that were so special to me all those years ago. March and Monday\u2019s are actually pretty cool!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today I\u2019d like to share a specific song, but I also want to mention what Ron Kenoly meant to me in the early 90\u2019s. Mr. Kenoly was a worship leader and his voice was like silk. I used to listen to his cassettes over and over.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On occasion I hear one of his songs and it warms my heart. I\u2019m instantly transported to that special church building in Jeffersonville, Ohio and his music fills the sanctuary with praise to Jesus. It didn\u2019t get much better than that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to share one song with you, but there are plenty you can search on Youtube. \u201cJesus is Alive\u201d was one of my favorites. It\u2019s what we as Christians hold to. It is our hope. It is our future. It is our present. Jesus is alive and because He lives, I can live.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s shout it from the rooftops. Let\u2019s rock it out in our church buildings. Let\u2019s live lives that are excited about these three words. Jesus is alive!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJesus is Alive\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hallelujah<br \/>\nJesus is alive<br \/>\nDeath has lost its victory<br \/>\nAnd the grave has been denied<br \/>\nJesus lives forever<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s alive! He&#8217;s alive!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s the Alpha and Omega<br \/>\nThe first and last is he<br \/>\nThe curse of sin is broken<br \/>\nAnd we have perfect liberty<br \/>\nThe lamb of God is risen<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s alive, He&#8217;s alive!<br \/>\nJesus is alive!<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kGZmifK8WDo\">here <\/a>and listen to this special song\u2026I may have to listen to it several times today!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> \u201cJesus is Alive,\u201d Words and Music by Ron Kenoly, Integrity\u2019s Hosanna Music, 1987.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I am heading to my son\u2019s wedding and will be pretty busy over the next week or so.
