I love listening to Michael practicing his trumpet each day.
It
reminds me of the great personality God gave to Michael - a personality
bold to make that trumpet resound off of all the neighboring concrete
buildings, resonating down the street and up to the school campus.
I would have rather died than make so much noise in 8th grade.
I love to hear the clear, bright tones
and the enthusiasm Michael brings to them.
I love the gorgeous music he makes!

And I love even more to hear his trumpet lifted in unison together with the band,
bringing praise to God through this gift of music.
...it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers
to make themselves heard in unison
in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord.
2 Chronicles 5:13
In his concert last Thursday evening, Michael soloed professionally,
and harmonized beautifully, thanks to the excellent direction of his teacher
(and fellow Ultimate Frisbee player!) Mr. B.
Where words fail,
Music speaks.

Giving thanks today for our son,
for his dedicated teacher,
and for the trumpet that is his voice,
boldly proclaimed in melodious praise to God!

Praying for your safety tonight....
Wish I could hear those trumpet sounds! And yes! I really see a difference in Michael...looks like he has really grown and changed since I last saw him!
