Pray for the Chapmans & Official News (Post Numero 21)

Hi out there!

Please pray for Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. At about 5pm on the 21st, their youngest daughter, Maria Sue age 5, was tragically killed in an accident in their driveway. You can leave comments on this page.

My news is that I plan to attend the University of Oklahoma in the fall and pursue a master's degree in piano pedagogy.

Hooray for Fayetteville Farmer's Market! Sam and I walked around and I got a cinnamon roll from Arsaga's. Sam recently started a group called SHuT (Stop Human Trafficking) and had a booth at the market this morning! Check out the website at stopht.com! Human trafficking is a pretty widespread problem that SHuT is working to eradicate.

Hooray for my piano students who played in a recital this morning; and the accomplished violinists that I accompanied yesterday in their Studio Recital! My piano studio will play in about three weeks at Butterfield Trail Village, in Fayetteville, on June 7, at 2pm. I hope that you can come see them play!

Congratulations to all the graduates! The University of Arkansas held its commencement ceremonies today! Jorja and I both graduated! My parents gave me a beautiful necklace that was made by my brother, David! These pictures were taken after I had walked to the car in the wind and rain, taken off my cap and then replaced it for the picture!!

After a quick trip to Springfield, I'm back home! I'm thankful for such a wonderful family. They have allowed God to love through them a lot. Even when that means giving up rights to go where they want or sleep when they want, they have given that up to love others. That's very admirable. It's neat to learn how to love from those who have been working on it for 50-something years!

The reason for such an exciting twenty hour round trip excursion was, my cousin, Sarah's graduation from Evangel University. (Congratulations Sarah!) She completed her accounting degree magna cum laude and will begin working full time in August. Also, Sarah will begin the CPA tests this summer!

Thought for the day: "The backslider gets bored with himself; the godly man's life is exciting." Proverbs 14:14 (The Living Bible)

Now it's time for piano, violin, and more exciting music stuff!
