African Children's Choir


www.africanchildrenschoir.com
I love this choir!  No matter who I hear them singing with I am moved and then when I hear them sing "alone" I am ecstatic!  Some people think these children from Africa are being exploited so I thought I'd do a quick history on the choir.  Started in 1984 as a method to provide education and hope to the "least of these" in Africa it currently has about 4000 children in the Music For Life Program!  Not only do the children receive education but they receive clean water, food, clothing, and medical care - it is much like Compassion and World Vision in it's heart and mission.  All the children sing but there is a "base" choir that tours the USA, Canada, and UK sharing the message of the Gospel and giving voice to the future of Africa, the children.  The new choirs train in Uganda which is where the vision started.  However Music For Life is currently in 7 countries in Africa!  These children are NOT being exploited for the profit of anyone, they are being given opportunity to thrive later in life!  I've included a video that is about 4 minutes long and worth watching.  It is the founder of the Choir and program and then interviews current participants and former participants.

For the song for the day I couldn't choose just one!  So here are 3!  I urge you to take the time today to listen and be blessed by these voices who have been raised up out of poverty and hopelessness and are being given an opportunity to forge a good life for themselves!

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
