What is in my CD player

1) Perennial by Twila Paris (1998). My brother brought this CD to me in Paris when I was pregnant with our daughter. This soft praise and worship project includes one of my favorite hymns “Be Thou My Vision,” as well as the newer “Father, We Are Here,” complete with a boys’ choir. Sometimes I think I could float away listening to it. Even my children, ages 8 and 4, think it is “beautiful music.”

2) Michael W. Smith’s Worship II - This project has some of the most popular, recent worship songs with a bit of creativity. (Rock guitars AND violins) My favorites are “Ancient Words” and “Lord, Have Mercy.” To make it better, it was recorded in Louisville, Kentucky, where I was raised.

3) Conversational Spanish - We purchased this treasure in a kid’s meal at Chick-Fil-A. We first got the French CD; it was so good that we went back and got the others. The German was for my husband; my daughter wanted the Japanese CD; and I was the obvious candidate for the Spanish one. Now I can say “mucho gusto” when I meet a Spanish speaking person!
