Today I woke up to another tune, "I Sing the Mighty Power of God," from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's CD <I>Consider the Lilies</I> (I had to go to my CDs to find the title, but I knew it was something I'd heard the MTC sing). Yesterday there was a conversation going on in my head when I awoke. This just gets weirder and weirder.Marsha Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389060049107102815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-25155296844523154772008-04-21T11:21:00.000-07:002008-04-21T11:21:00.000-07:00As a military brat, my favorite way to hear it is ...As a military brat, my favorite way to hear it is a single trumpet.

Remember how we used to be taught in school to stop everything we were doing, remove our hats, and stand quietly in respect when the anthem was played? I was at a school recently where the adults just kept doing their thing. I wanted to scream!..oh, and then there is the gentleman I heard on the radio a number of months ago who ranted about going to his child's school to take him another shirt because the principal considered a red, white, and blue shirt...no flag mind you...just the colors...was too inflammatory. There's even more to the story...but this isn't the proper forum!<BR/>Thanks, Marsha. I think I'm going to sing our anthem all day!Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-51050307267534401152008-04-20T23:23:00.000-07:002008-04-20T23:23:00.000-07:00Wow!

(embed links in my post)<BR/><BR/>I have days like that where songs seem to spring up from the depths of my subconsciousness and keep jingling my brain until I pay attention. <BR/>I have heard other discussions of possibly changing the National Anthem to something like America, or America the Beautiful. I love those songs also, but I don't think after having grown up singing the Star Spangled Banner and hearing it played at the olympics and feeling proud of my country even though all I'm doing is listening or watching that I could accept any other piece of music in it's revered spot.Margaret Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761685502321532820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-76276124813464967382008-04-20T18:37:00.000-07:002008-04-20T18:37:00.000-07:00Amen, to your conclusion, Marsha.
