I agree. I think music in general could bring the region together, both in Albany and outlying areas. More Coffeehouses in downtown Albany, Troy, and up into Bennington, VT would be a excellent alternative to bars, and a great way to socialize.

hjk,
the word on the street is that it’s the 23rd annual troy victorian stroll. i heard about the event a couple weeks ago when my husband and i were on a date at the flavour cafe & lounge on 4th st. in troy. here’s a link with more info: http://www.troyvictorianstroll.com

it sounds like fun…cold fun, much of it is outdoors, but you can stop into the flavour cafe where you can purchase a .23 cent cup of small coffee and a dr. pepper or cinnabon flavored tube of lip chap.

I’ve been seeing advertisements on TV and billboards about the STROLL in Troy that’s happening this Sunday from 11am until 5pm. Does anyone know what this is?

i’m convicted.

i always run to the excuses that come so easy for me to fall back on. “i’ll focus on song writing when i get a better guitar”, “when the kids are older and i have more free time”, “when i feel closer to christ and am able to produce songs that edify others”…but like hjk clarified so succinctly, i think i’m just downright scared. fear of rejection is an incredible and very real thing.

thanks for the exhortation, swomer.

Yeah, I miss the few times this summer when I went out to the Daily Grind with friends. I think my husband is working on a few songs for open mic. Maybe I should ask him how he’s coming along with that….

As far as stepping out with my own stuff… I think I’m just scared. I’ve created a few art pieces that were well received by the Christian community (well, actually, it did get it’s share of “that seems dark” kind of comments), but what would the real world think? Is it good enough? Will it make sense? Will it cause someone to run away from Christ instead of being drawn to Him? I wonder. And I guess I could keep wondering, or I could do something about it…

With the lovely snowfall the day after Thanksgiving, I was thinking of Christmas parties and gathering with friends. And I don’t see anything wrong with surrounding yourself with people you love to be around and who have a positive impact on your life. But I suppose I best make an effort to have room for connecting with others. Of course, we’ll go to the company Christmas party. Perhaps instead of hosting a gathering of our closest friends I might consider an open house and invite some families that we know from our kids’ schools. Yes, even the ones who my son just told that he doesn’t believe that Santa is a real person. (Talks with understanding moms left the relationships in tact.)And I’ll be sure to set out the singing and dancing Santa.

All that to say. I’m really glad that I live in Albany. I’m glad God put me here. And I really want to make a difference. I hope I follow through.
