Last night we went to wonderful concert at church. Alex Boye (sp) a member of the Mormon Tabernacle choir and a few friends came to the church. They started the kick off of a wonderful art exhibit "Reflections of Christ". They first showed a documentary of the making of these photographs (Michelle you would love it!) It was so awesome. They put a lot of thought planning scripture study and prayer into these great representations of events in Christs life. I was very touched throughout this whole video presentation. I also enjoyed the music what an understatement! It was AWESOME. I just love to hear music at its best. They sang songs like Amazing Grace and Be still my Soul. OOOOO it just gave me goose bumps.
One of my favorite things was when Alex Boye talked about an experience he had. He is very charismatic. He told of meeting a girl whom he had known before. He off handedly asked her how she was and then was told after 2 hours. She told him of a life of very hard experiences, cutting her wrists, children from three men, and drug addictions. She came from a strong family who taught her the gospel and about Christ but she fell away. He didn't know what to tell her but he prayed really hard and felt that he should tell her to take him to her car and get in. So that is what they did. Then he felt inspired to ask to see her CD collection. When she showed him it was full of inappropriate music. He asked her to let him have her collection for a week. Very timidly and not wanting to she agreed. She called him two days later telling him that she had felt better than ever. Then he asked what we would be willing to give up for our Savior. Oh the spirit was so strong. There were definitely things in my life that I want to do better and I renewed my commitment to my Heavenly Father. So check our the church bookstores and look for the music, Dvd and book for the Reflections of Christ. I think there is also a web site if I find it I will post a link later.
