A beautiful song

I have been sleeping in the rocking chair all evening , but I will tell you why later. It has been a long day. It is nearly midnight here, and I have just come to check my email, and a couple of blogs before going back to sleep. But in my bed this time.

I popped over to BooMama's and she is doing a Mandisa giveaway this weekend. Now I had never heard of Mandisa, I have to say, so I went to listen here, because BooMama said to go, and as you all know, we do what BooMama tells us to do. Don't we???? I decided to listen to the other songs she has on her website, and the second one just happens to be called God Speaking. It blew me away. The words are so simple. The message is so powerful. I am already word perfect, and it is midnight, and I had to tell you.

I couldn't work out how to download the lyrics, but here is what I think they are anyway. If these words stay in my head all night, then that is just fine. Go and listen, and you will see what I mean.

God Speaking .................. Mandisa

Have you ever heard a love song that set your spirit free?
Have you ever watched a sunrise and felt you could not breathe?
What if it's Him?
What if it's God speaking?

Have you ever cried a tear that you could not explain?
Have you ever met a stranger who already knew your name?
What if it's Him?
What if it's God speaking?

Who knows how He'll get a hold of us?
Get our attention to prove He's enough?
He'll do and He'll use whatever he wants to
To tell us "I love you."

Have you ever lost a loved one who you thought should still be here?
Do you know what it feels like to be tangled up in fear?
What if He's somehow involved?
What if He's speaking through it all?

Who knows how He'll get a hold of us?
Get our attention to prove He's enough?
He'll do and He'll use whatever he wants to
To tell us, "I love you."

His ways are higher
His ways are best

Though sometimes strange

What could be stranger
Than God in a manger?

Who knows how He'll get a hold of us?
Get our attention to prove He's enough?
Who knows how He'll get a hold of you?
Get your attention to prove He's enough?
He'll do and He'll use whatever He wants to
To tell us "I love you"
God is speaking.
"I love you."

Semi finals

Ok, I am trying to load something from YouTube. My son is about to go out, so I want to do it before he goes. I hope.

Last night was the semi-finals from Britain's got talent, and the ordinary man was back. He swept into the finals on Sunday and mesmerised us all yet again. Wow.

And please note that at the end, all the judges were on their feet!





It has been an exhausting day at work, but now it is the weekend. The rain continues to fall. Most notably, just as I was on gate duty at the end of school, far away from shelter and without an umbrella. You do not want to know what I look like. We came perilously close to a wet T-shirt competition. Not good.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

TV fun and astonishment

I have no idea how to put a Youtube video on this blog. But PLEASE go and look at Paul Potts singing. The high quality sound/video one is the best. There are a lot to choose from. We have a programme on ITV at the moment, called Britain's Got Talent, and it is a talent contest to find a "normal" act to sing in the Royal Variety Show this year. It has been on every night, and there have been some wonderful (and excruciating) performances, but this is one from the first night, and it blew everyone away.

On to the stage walked this extremely nervous ordinary man who works in Carphone Warehouse, and this is what he did. I was in tears on the night. Go and watch. Then come back and tell me what you think!
