Lead Kindly Light

I know that we all love and appreciate our bishoprics, but there are times when they might head the promptings of the spirit a little quicker. I got a call on Wednesday night asking me to organize an octet, singing Lead Kindly Light, for Ward Conference next Sunday. I couldn't find the music online anywhere and I couldn't order it because it wouldn't get here in time for us all to practice together. I searched high and low, I called cross-country, but to no avail. I finally called Deseret Book and was told that a different store in the valley had it and to go there. Upon arrival, I was told that yes, at some point it had been in the store, but it hadn't been in the computer since last November and to try Milano's. Luckily, Milano's had a great version and I snatched them all up. I did have to make a few illegal copies, to have enough, but nobody has to know and they will soon be shredded bits of nothingness, ( I take copyright laws very, okay almost, seriously...look what happened to Stephenie Meyer). Needless to say, I have called upon two members of the Bishopric to perform in the special musical number...see if they ever call me again! Other than that, I am still trying to recuperate from my mysterious sickness. I still hack up a lung when I laugh and could sing bass with no trouble! I am feeling better though, thank you. The painting continues. I managed to finagle Brady into helping my paint the mezzanine area of our house. We got half done and I remembered why I do the painting myself. My husband is the love of my life, selfless, honorable, hard working, tireless, smart, funny, adorable, admirable, but he is the slowest painter I have ever met. I thought I was slow owning to the fact that I have to go back and fix every little imperfection, but I was dead wrong. He also wanted so much to do it exactly how I wanted, that he asked me how to do everything. I am so grateful for his help that I am going to ask him to help me finish the upstairs. The work is slow, but worth it! I am also excited that soon I will get to go and get my curtain fabric and then I can sew all of the panels for the great room curtains. It will be quite the undertaking, but I think I am up to the challenge.
