Clash of the Choirs
Siestas, did you watch "Clash of the Choirs" this week??? It was one of the best things I've watched on television in ages! I laughed and cried and clapped my hands and stood to my feet and cheered all by my sick little self in my den. I could have watched it every night for a month. Now, THAT'S GOOD PROGRAMMING. Way to go for a change, NBC!!!

Nope havent watched it, hope your feeling better. Take care dear one we need our angel well. God bless lvoe sister in christ Victoria
I agree 100% I enjoyed it too. I was cheering and laughing right along too. It is refreshing to see good TV for once.
You better believe I did! And I loved every minute of it! What a nice change. We'll be watching Denver and the Mile High Orchestra on Friday night too!
Merry Christmas!
steph.
I watched on Monday and then again tonight. I, too, laughed and cried and clapped at the TV. The Katrina evacuee from Houston was the first to make me cry. (Sorry Houston didn't win) The show really drew you in. I love that you jumped right onto the blog at the end of the show to talk to us all about it!
And.... The blogs this week have been great! I happened upon the blog right about the beginning, as I was researching you and the whole LPL thing after purchasing a ticket for LPL Bossier City. My group has been doing your studies for 3 years--with 1 Jennifer Rothschild in there, too. I loved your Blog-a-versary post and video. I've been reading all along, but haven't posted. So, I'm jumping in feet first now! Much love to all the Moore and Jones families--Ellen in Louisiana
Oh my word I watched it tonight and had chills the entire time. Loved it. And would watch it over and over again.
Hi Beth,
I couldn't agree with you more!! It was a huge blessing to watch the faces and expressions of some of the singers who were obviously praising the King throughout the show. Loved that they sang so many songs about Him!!
I couldn't decide if I should be crying or screaming with joy...but I mostly cried through every song. What did you think about some of the testimonies the singers gave while speaking with the host (or am I supposed to call her hostess?....that sounds like a twinkie!!...I can relate anything to food!)?
Loved it!! Just LOVED IT!!!!
Love,
A Rockwall, Texas Siesta
I wantched it too Beth! i also had the same reaction! LOL guess what......my christmas present this year were tickets to see you live in the springs in may! yay!
I missed it! Wonder if I can find it online? Anyway, your last post made me think of growing up in a large family. I wonder if it has made me demand more attention than most, because I didn't get enough as a child? Or maybe I just love attention. Have you ever thought about this
(Kids in large families needing exorbitant amounts of attention)?
Hmm. I think I'm on to something. Another theory to place next to my "younger sister is always taller than older sister" theory.
Oh yes! It was just great, wasn't it?! And them bringing the Dad in from the Houston choir was just the most precious thing. So very sweet!
I was clapping with you in my living room!! :)
Lindsee
Oh yes I did!!! Even my husband (who has to put up with being married to a music ed. major/former music teacher :))even enjoyed it with me...until tonight when his favorite basketball team played at the same time! I was right along with you, saying, "Way to go NBC!" I hope you are feeling better.
I haven't watched it yet but it's waiting patiently for me on my DVR. I can't wait. I love me some choir music.
Yes! I watched it too! MAN, I wish I could sing. :0(
I loved it! The music was so fun!
girl, tell me about it! i was so excited to see the previews for that, but i missed it this week..so glad that you loved it!!
(hope you've been able to get your shopping done but still rest...and with those mad shopping skills we heard about at the party, maybe the Lord can bless you with some sales and short lines and you'll be done in no time! :) )
love you sweet friend
ps-I just realized I forgot to say---Get Well Soon! Hope the croupy bronchitis is well on its way to being gone!
Ellen in Louisiana
Amen! Amen! Amen! It was better than great!
yep love it too. missed it tonight though. are you doing better? hope so. love you.
~janel
WASN'T IT THE BEST? I hope they repeat this one! This is worth doing again...I'm so with ya SIESTA!
I'm with you on this one Beth. I don't know if it's because my heart is so tender right now, or if the Holy Spirit was moving through the tv, but I went from laughing to crying, to cheering and back again! At one point last night during, "Jesus Take the Wheel" the hair was standing up on my arms and legs (note to self: shave legs soon!)
Oh my!! What a great show and even more wonderful demonstration of God's love. Yup, NBC got it right on this one!!
~Cheryl
Oh my goodness- Did you hear when that lady stood up and said her son's voice was an annointing from God and now he was giving it back to God through the music?! Amazing!
You are right Seista! I love to hear some great sangin! I hope you feel better:)
Amanda in SC
I agree we need better programming. Love you
Michelle
NPR had quite a laugh about the new reality T.V., i.e. choirs competing...they blamed it on the writer's strike. However, I think NPR stands for "nothin' personally relevant."
Wasn't it wonderful! I was praising God for what He had done (and laughing and crying and hootin' and hollerin')right along with you. Kind of neat to think of all the Siestas together in spirit (maybe heaven's family room?) watching t.v. together with our Abba.
Feel better soon!
Oh Beth, I am right now watching
the final results here in Washington State. AWESOME!!!! I was right there with you tonight, laughin', cryin', clappin' and doing my own little "PRAISE DANCING"!!!!!!!
The outspoken way our God was praised and lifted high on National
T.V. was such a gift wasn't it!!
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT!! I think I could go into withdrawals already!!!
Get WELL dear siesta!! Much love to you!!
Loved it! We watched it as a family for four nights!
Did NOT like the choice of clothing of some of the women dancing, or their presentation, but to be expected, and did NOT like the commercials about spirit woman or whatever...good grief! (I've seen his spirit! Do you see dead people? etc. etc.)
I just caught Patti Labelle on 'Clash of the Choirs' while channel surfing tonight. She made me want to jump up and down! Her voice is amazing, no matter what her age.
Blessings, Joanne
hope that you are feeling better! I hope you had on some good warm jammies for your Clash of the Choirs show...i have no idea what that is...but I will have to check it! =)
I'm so sorry to say I had never heard of it until tonight... when my mother was watching the final and giving me a blow by blow account over the phone! I heard a snippet of the Flight of the Bumblebee and I was impressed though! And I do heartily agree that this was good programming! Hooray!
Absolutely! Finally something we could watch with the family and not be annoyed! I hope the ratings were good so maybe they will do it again! Just think, not one person on the show was sleeping with anyone else, considering an abortion, disrespecting their mom (because there are no dads in TV land)drinking, cussing.... YAHOO NBC!
ps- don't you love exclamation points!
I Loved the show too!!!! I finally get to find something I can watch with my teenagers that everyone enjoyed. We all picked a team and cheered for them as we are from Canada. I was happy for team Lachey as they had to work really hard to beat team LaBelle. Miss Labelle is one of my favourite singers so I was really hoping she would win. Well sorry to hear you have been sick ,hope you are feelin well soon.
Yes, my husband I watched it all four nights this week. We enjoyed it too! Hope you are feeling better soon....Merry Christmas!
Love, Mom in NC
BETH! I'm so glad you watched because I've been dying to tell someone who watched it that the coolest thing happened! As I was sitting there addressing the Christmas card to our Missions Pastor, my husband exclaimed that our Missions Pastor's son was on the show! I looked up and it was the Blake Shelton one out there in Oklahoma and it was the first guy that Blake Shelton interviewed. It was a long conversation and Blake said he was sorry that my pastor's son wasn't the right fit for the choir (although I have NO idea why not) but he sure did get a lot of good information out of him. And as he was leaving, Blake said, "how many alto's?" And Joel replied "Two." How cool is that? I enjoyed the show a lot too!
OK, now for yet ANOTHER God moment! He's killing me lately! My father, who I have beat my head against a wall witnessing to, has an old high school friend who is a prominent businessman here in town. I have always heard he is a christian and had told my husband once that I was going to call him and ask him to talk with my dad about the Lord because clearly I'm not the one to bring the message. My dad and this man stay in touch but I've never met him...until last night. There we were at Toys R Us Christmas shopping when we ran into him and his daughter doing the same. When my dad was talking to his friend's daughter away from earshot I had my moment. I asked him if I had heard correctly that he was a christian to which he enthusiastically said, "absolutely!" I asked him to please try to lead my father to the Lord as I have tried. He quickly said he would definitely try. And I believe that he will. PRAISE GOD. Oh how I love Him.
Oh how I do. And how I love you. I thanked Him just yesterday for what He has done through you and how He has used you in my life. I think my heart could beat right out of my chest sometimes at how much I love Him. OK, if I don't talk to you again, Merry Christmas to each and every one of you! I love you dearly. Lisa
I loved it too!
Hi Beth,
I agree. I really enjoyed that program this week. My husband has been away on business, so I put the kids to bed, got me a bowl of delicious brownie supreme ice-cream, put my feet up and relaxed with the music. As someone who was raised in choirs, church and school, I commend those singers for their hard work and triumph over adversity. Not to mention how calm they seemed. I was always so nervious standing in front of audiences. Congratulations to Cincinnati. I was excited to see the money going to their Children's Hospital. My second child was premature. What a blessing for them. And as an Ohioan, born and bred, good work Ohio!! :)
Merry Christmas Living Proof Ministries!
I agree--it was fun to watch. Hope you are feeling better!
They made us proud here in Cincinnati, Ohio!!!! Woo-Hoo!!! Hope you are feeling better Beth. Merry Christmas everyone.
Beth, I saw the advertisement for the show but I did not get to see it. Why was is so great? Now I am curious.
I could not agree with you more. That show had my 16 yr old daughter stretched out across me and my husband and really listening to some good music for a change. We also laughed, cried and wished that they all could have won! Great family time for us.
I watched it too. It was great for a change. Hope they do it again next year:) Wouldnt that be great!
Oh yes ma'am! That was incredible tv watching. I cried too. I clapped. I stomped my feet and sang right there with 'em!!
Loved every minute of it NBC!
Hope you are feeling better.
Love you~
Amen! My husband and I watched it and absolutely loved it! I hated for it to be over. I must say, I just knew Patti's choir was going to win. They were all great though.
YES! I did watch it! My favorites were Nick Lachey's choir and Patti LaBelle's. It was so fun!
And you must read the first paragraph of this article about it in the Boston Globe--it cracked me up:
http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2007/12/20/clash_cashes_in_on_holiday_sentiment/
I only got to see some of it during commercials of that other new show Duel. The hubby had already started watching it before I remembered it was on...and although we have a DVR we decided a few months ago that we already DVR TOO MANY shows....so...until I am ready to give up another show...I can't DVR anything else!!!
All that to say...I did like it very much!!! I too stood and clapped a time or two!
Angela
Beth I am right there with you! This was an absolutely awesome program. One that I could sit down with my nephew and watch and not worry about what he would be seeing. But, I almost messed up. I wasn't at home last night when the show began, so I recorded it. The guide on TV said that it would only be on from 8-9. Well I was watching it from 9-10, when the recording cut off and I realized that I was going to miss who won! Well, it was 9:55 so I quickly turned it to NBC just in time to see Team Lachey win. Whew! That was too close for comfort.
I hope you are feeling better today. Being sick during the holidays can really be a bummer, especially when we're celebrating the birth of our wonderful Savior. Take care of yourself. You are in my prayers.
My husband also watched each night of "Clash of the Choirs" and this morning I told him about your post. He said "that was exactly what he thought - it was good wholesome programming for the whole family and wished there would be more like it!" He said I should be sure to watch the last night on the DVR. He didn't tell me which Choir won.
(PS: This is my first time commenting on a post, but I want you to know that I am a regular reader and have probably read every post. I'm thinkin' that for every Siesta that comments, there's probably three or four like me who don't comment but are blessed by what we read. I will sometimes share a post with different women I know who are experiencing whatever subject a particular post is about. Thanks Amanda, Melissa, and Beth for sharing your thoughts. It's always a blast to log on and read. Blessings on your Christmas gatherings and may the Lord bless you and keep you in 2008.)
Yes I loved Clash of the Choirs! Wish they would do more. I sit here this morning reading your blog and find myself laughing. I am giving in and have to go to the doctor today...I think it is going to be strep throat. I just flew back home from Georgia feeling terrible and felt so sorry for anyone near me!
In Georgia all of our family were able to be together at our cabin. We celebrated Thanksgiving, our granddaughters 2nd birthday and Christmas...we call it "CHRISTGIVING". God is so good!
Hope you get feeling better!
Your Montana Siesta
I LUVED Clash of Choirs. I totally hope they will do it again with new choirs! Heck, even the same choirs will make me happy!!
I've never heard of this show. Of course, we don't have any cable or reception on our TV. We can only watch DVD/videos. I hope you're feeling better!
Take care,
Karen

Oh, man!!!
I missed the finale!! I have to get online and see who won. I was hoping Patty's choir would win, but the Flight of the Bumblebee thing was incredible.
:-)
Yes ma'am. Jordyn, my 10 yr. old daughter, really enjoyed it. It's nice to be able to allow them to watch prime time TV.
I hope you are feeling better. I too have been ill this week with strep throat, and I am praying no one else in the house gets it for Christmas. Hear is a little tip that may help you with your cough.. Vic's vapor rub on the bottom of your feet with socks on..I know it sounds crazy, but it works. At least it did for my nephew. It may be worth a try. Tina B.
I did watch it!!! I LOVED it!!! My roommate and I both thought it was the best show. I hope they keep it up. At least for a little while!
Ah, the choirs. I watched as I was home alone and had the remote. While I stitched I watched. It was the first time I had seen it and I picked the #1 choir right off. Nick's choir was about the song, blending etc. not about the star's and the solo's. Good choir!!
I have a question for you Beth, regarding the last study in a Woman's Heart. What is the best way to contact you? You could e-mail me and then I you back??
Hey Everybody,
I must second Beth's observation! Although I must admit I might be a little biased because of my love for music, Clash of the Choirs is one of the best things that has hit TV in a good while.
My name is Regina Gibson...I am not at all new to the blog (I have been reading it from the beginning), but I am new to posting on it. I am a 25 year old newly wed who loves Jesus more than anything on God's green earth. I know a lot about freedom through Christ and victory in Him as a result of great trials early on in life. I have a great passion for God's Word and memorize portions of it each day. It could be well said that I am addicted to the Word of God! I love my husband, my family, and my church. And I love this blog!
Thank you Beth for your service to us!
I was reading your blog to my daughter this morning (she calls me every day on her way to work) and she said, "Yeah, it was so good!"
I didn't even know about it. :( We just got our electricity back on Mon. afternoon after a week (after the ice storm hit Okla.) and I've been trying to get caught up and back to normal. I told her to call me next time when something good like that is on.
It is refreshing when something good comes on television...especially a major network like NBC.
Hope you're feeling better!
Love,
Valerie
This has nothing to do with your last post.... BUT it was too funny not to pass along especially for all of us computer nerds :)
...Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.
Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job.'
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.
Jesus just sighed.
Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:
'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power went out!'
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate.
'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?'
God just shrugged and said,
JESUS SAVES
I so loved watching CotC! It was perfect to knit to. I'm new here...about a month. Thanks so much for this blog. When I can sit for a bit without little ones at my feet, I need to send you an email. Thanks for being a blessing. Kristen
Yes I did watch it and loved it! Watched every second of it, almost. (I have a 3-year-old and 10-month-old.) Had many a moment with goosebumps on my arms. I was impressed with NBC, as well. Merry Christmas.
Lindsey in Louisiana
Yes, and we agree 150% on finally getting something on tv to watch with the kids~and actually enjoy it together!! We were especially cheering on our Oklahoma choir and our brave, amazing soldiers!! Maybe this was one way you could slow down for an evening of choir goodness! Hope you are feeling better-we love you and wish you a very Merry Christmas!
Amy
Hi Beth:
I just watched the choir program for the first time too and I loved it...I love listening to good music.
I have to tell you that I can so relate to your comments from yesterday...I too, gave in, and went to the doctor this morning...Turns out I have bronchitis...When I got the diagnosis I just smiled.
I hope you (and me) feel better soon...a shot and a z-pack will do wonders.
have a very Merry Christmas,
Lynn
I LOVED it, too! My hubby and I watched it together, and some of those songs flat out gave me chills. Wow! What will our heavenly choir be like???
Yes! I loved it!
And I was thinking of you last night because my husband is sick. Whenever he's sick he says, "I got the suds." (Yes, it is adorable when he says it). It is from Spongebob Squarepants.
Thought I'd share that gem, since you got the "suds" too!
Still praying for health and a Merry Christmas!
I did watch it and I loved it!!! I had a blast watching this show and I was rooting for Patti LaBelle!!! All of them were very good!!!
How are you feeling? I am praying for a speedy recovery for you!!
Much love,
Patty
I really wanted to but was so sad that I missed it and now even more sad! Will there be reruns? :) Sorry you were sick but so glad that you got some rest! And now you will be better for Christmas!
Amen to that!! I wish they'd do that kind of thing more often. :-) Hope you're feeling better
Last night I cried as well. The tribute from Team Houston to a deaf father was so touching!
We did watch some of it and it was really great!!!
You are wonderful and I hope you are feeing better!
Loving you in Jacksonville, Florida!
I was so bummed to miss it! It looked like a blast - sounds like you enjoyed it enough for all of us! Hope it becomes a regular show. Music Ministry is my thing anyway - I missed the show 'cause I was singing at a local assisted living facility for Christmas. I LOVE IT!! I try to get to as many each year as I can - it's such fun to share the GOSPEL thru the Christmas story & songs.... You'd be amazed at how many of these folks have still not made JESUS LORD of their lives. So, I'll just keep going back & reminding them that JESUS loves them!!
Happy Blog-a-versary Ya'll, & a very Happy JESUS Day!!
Mistie Woods - Abilene
ps... I'm sooo excited, I'm planning to figure out this whole blogging thing Christmas afternoon - watch for Foggy Forest coming soon!!
Beth!
Yes, I saw it and I do agree- it was fabulous! Bring it on NBC!
Merry Christmas!
Nancy
a-MEN!!! we LOVED that show! what a blessing it has been this week-and out little girls could watch with us which is a nice change. God is SO GOOD to have created music, no????!!
Beth, I pray you are feeling better, Yes, I did watch the choirs. I loved it. I hope they do it again. I love the way that they did,nt drag it out forever. I was amazed at the talent and how they progressed each time they sang.I cried of course when the Dad that was deaf showed up!I liked them all.Do you think Patti Labelle knows our Lord? She said a few things that made me wonder.Well,I'm off The four grandchildren are coming to Granna's to bake cookies and spend the night.WHOO-HOO I love this part of my life. Bgrannaboo in knoxville
Hi Beth,
I hope you are feeling better.
And DARN I wanted to watch Clash of the Choirs and FORGOT...drats. I hope it will be on again.
We are rooting for Travis's friend, Denver on tonight's show. 2 out of the 3 groups are Christians! GO GOD and GO DENVER!
Get well soon!
Kelly in Michigan (Believing God)
I also really enjoyed the choirs! I was glad for some wholesome TV to watch. I hope they do it again! Thanks for all you do, Beth. I hope that you are feeling better! Merry Christmas!
I didn't watch it, but I meant to record it on TIVO. I love choir, so when I saw the previews, I got really excited.
LOVED IT! And last night, when the gentleman in Kelly's Houston choir signed the whole verse to his deaf daddy, I nearly bawled like a baby. I just can't take that sweetness! :) My husband and my 7 year old sweet daughter had a feud over team Lechey and team LaBelle and who would win. Needless to say, Daddy was a poor winner. :)
Have a blessed Christmas, feel better, and as friend of mine says, "don't let the stress bugs bite."
I watched it and loved it as well. Loved hearing God's name mentioned on Network TV. There's nothing like the sound of a choir. Makes me anxious to be part of the heavenly one.
Merry Christmas
I did watch and I LOVED IT!
I was just telling my sister about it a few minutes ago and then we read your blog. I think even my husband got a little teary eyed. (Don't tell him I told you)
What other TV shows do you like Beth?
I hope you are better by Christmas!
yes, i watched it, and i totally agree....great idea NBC! :)

Mrs. Beth, I am sooo sorry that you are under the weather--get well soon!! I loved the clash of the choirs show--it is not too often that you can watch TV without running for the remote for mute or just turning it off!! It brought Patti Labelle right out of her shoes. I am shocked that her choir did not win!! Get better and Merry Christmas!!
Yep, cried my eyes out during Team Lachey and the song they did in sign language for the guy's dad.......that was really cool!
I did watch, and it was so much fun! I was so sad that it came to an end so quickly. We missed the first night, but saw the rest. It was something we could watch with all of our children and they loved it, too! I loved when Tracy Morgan said "you can just feel God in the building." Now that's something we don't hear on prime time anymore!
~Kristin
THE JOURNEY CONTINUES WITH PEACE DURING THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON ~
Our family just returned from Disneyland and I did ride Splash mountain with rain. Speaking of bad hair~ oH MY GOOdness! :)
We prayed for your healing and are encouraged after reading your blog that you were standing to your feet and clapping your hands while watching Clash of the Choirs.
I look forward to watching it.
Until then, back to making Christmas cookies, wrapping gifts, singing carols and enjoying the PEACE that this season should bring all of us! HUG YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING BEING PERFECT. LIFE IS TOO SHORT !!!!
I love reading all the posts ~
wow, the siesta's are growing in numbers !!!! keep " carrying the light" of JESUS FOR US BETH, AMANDA, MELISSA, AND THE LIFEWAY OUTREACH. GOD IS BLESSING ALL OF US DAILY!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone
It was fantastic. I had been looking forward to its debut and it was everything I had hoped it would be.
I've been here reading since the beginning of the blog, please keep it going. It's one thing I look forward to help get me through the week.
Get well soon Beth.
I keep missing it! I have been wanting too because well it just sounds good.
Hope you are feeling better. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
Much love,
Angela
Yes! It was awesome--we enjoyed hearing some great music and watching a wholesome show. What a blast.
I wanted to watch and FORGOT because my sweet husband continues to pester - I mean REMIND - me that I have not yet sent the Christmas cards and wouldn't it be nice to get them out before New Year's this year and, oh yeah...let's write a nice little letter telling everyone what we've been up to this year...and be sure and send ALL of those photos you ordered (so optimistically) a month ago...you know, since we've PAID for them!!! So, here I am...it's nearly midnight...I haven't written a single Christmas card and can't seem to find the inspiration to finish the all-important Christmas letter...AND I had no time on the couch in my pj's all curled up with a nice cup of hot chocolate watching a great tv show!! But I'm glad to hear it was so good and that so many of you were able to enjoy it...and I pray our LORD will heal you quickly, Beth, and that you get some good rest while your man is huntin'. Love, Kim
I commented last night and don't see it here! But, I wanted to let you know that YES, I loved it this week. Very precious! I especially loved when they flew the Dad in to see his son perform and he signed for him! Oh my, too sweet!
Merry Christmas to all of you! (Moores, Jones' and Living Proof!) I hope your holiday is absolutely wonderful!
Much love,
Lindsee
I agree! Awesome!
It was GREAT! My husband kept wanting to change channels when the little hostess was rambling on, but my daughter and I would holler till he went back. I'm with the other siestas who cried (I mean really cried, sobbing, had to blow my nose) over the son with the deaf father. How fun that we could all be sharing that same tender moment all over the country! Beth, take care of yourself. You know when you start feeling a little better, I bet you're inclined to kick it back into high gear and you might relapse! So take it easy, sweetie and get better! Love to all the Moores and other living fruits.
The Journey Continues ~
Christmas blessings!!
Us Siesta's would love to hear what you and your precious ones do for the Christmas season~ can you share with us your traditions and family get togethers???
I remember you sharing that you had a special wreath on the front door????? What do the babies get? I am referring to " DOGS" don't tell them I called them that! :) Look forward to reading about your CHRISTMAS Traditions and New Year's too!

Hallelujah! I am actually just coming out of lurker status and trying to sign-in, and I thought I should say something really profound and positive! So, "Hallelujah"!! Beth, I hope you are feeling better. I hope it does not sound trite to let you know how much your passion for the Word (and for the Lord) has profoundly impacted my relationship with Jesus over the last 7 years!!! I am forever grateful to the Lord for gracing you with the amazing gifts you offer so humbly and eloquently to all. THANK-YOU for being faithful to Him who called you!!!!So, this post may be totally off-topic, but I am a complete newbie at all this ("LOL"--OK, so totally "early 2,000's"--this is why I don't "TEXT"). Love everyone on this blog--God Bless you all!!!!! (Amanda and Melissa are BEAUTIFUL-inside and out--you are so blessed)! Merry Christmas to all~
Anne (in "pouring down rain" Washington) :)
Beth- it was great! :) It was a such a gift to hear great music!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Remember to keep Ms. Jeannie in your prayers tommorrow...we'll all be thinking of the day our Jesus took our Stephanie home!
He is always the reason!
LOVED IT. LOVED IT. LOVED IT!
Did not...however did pick up Believing God in hardback lastnight along with Ruthless Trust lastnight at the bookstore while sipping a Gingerbread lattee. Life is good. God is good!
The two of those books seemed to go together, or compliment one another. We shall see.

I tend to think that all my bible study teachers must always be on their face before God or doing something ultra radical for His Majesty which I know you do allot. It was nice to know that you were right their watching clash of the choirs right along side us. I am praying that you get better fast. Here's to just a regular alone time evening with the Lord and a good show on t.v.
Beth,
I just knew you would like that show. You were wired to love some gospel, weren't you, girlfriend?!
Bless you,
Bonnie
Hey there...
Nope... did not get to watch it... BUT, my family has been following the "Greatest American Band" on FOX... WOW... we cheered for "Denver and the Mile High Orchestra". He made it all the way to third place and then a band named "Clark Brothers" (DEFINETLY GODLY MEN!) made it. Keep your eyes AND ears open for them. They are absolutely amazing!
Hope you're feeling better.

Yes, I loved the show too! My three children greatly enjoyed it. I agree with the others that it was good to have something on that the whole family could watch. Hoping you feel better soon. I pray you have a blessed Christmas and an anointed 2008! Love you!

We watched it. It was SO good! I'm hoping that they'll run it again so people who missed it can see it. It will make you want to stand up, move and sing. Good family programming. We want more of that!
You over that sickness yet Beth?
Thank you Beth! I have been married to a choir man for 30 years. Used to be called the "choir director," or Minister of Music,now he is praise/worship leader. During revivals in country churches he is the "song leader!" I love the Old Testament scriptures about the choirs leading out!
Hope you're better. I've prayed for you to have a speedy recovery to enjoy Christmas with your family.
Love,
Jan

It was great! and I since I have be come 'grandmother' to the twins that were featured at Children's in Cincinnati, i was especially thrilled with the outcome! (sorry to the Houson crowd)
Can't say that I saw it, but I sure wish I could of watched you watching it. That sounds just as entertaining as the show itself. My husband and I mostly watch Sci-Fi, ER, CSI, and stuff of that nature. We record it on our DVR and then argue about who gets to watch there shows first and whose shows are taking up too much space so they can't record their shows. I know really dumb, but we're actually really light hearted about it, racing for the remote when we get home and then of course Jeremiah cheering because dad won. Always! It's not fair. He's bigger than me!!!!
i caught a few episodes! they were all too good of choirs:) one of the houston girls, ivy who sang a solo on the finale went to my alma mater (spring woods) right down the road from your alma mater! maybe we should have her sing at a living proof event;)
Yep, my fav choir won(although Houston was great too!) I told family I had to cut the celebration of my 50th birthday short on ThurDec 20th to rush home to see the winner. I was pleasantly surprised to see NBC allow programming that was spiritual...loved it!
Merry Christmas! Pam

I was so excited to hear you talk about the "Clash of the Choirs." I had no plans to watch it and once my daughter and I started we really
loved it. I felt like it was a Christmas gift!!! It was amazing and such a surprise! Maybe it's a reminder that the Lord is ever present and surprises us with some things we don't even know we need!
