The vocal stylings seem to match the lyrics best.<br /><br /><br />When I was in Brooklyn for my rabbi's oldest daughter's wedding last April, I saw a little boy, being carried by his mother and with another woman, drop his teddybear as they were crossing a street. I had to call after them for awhile until they finally realized what had happened. The boy's mother was so happy, profusely thanked me, and blessed me with a wonderful rest of the day. Since I've had so much luck over the years with having my own lost objects found or returned to me, I enjoy being able to return the favor when I can. This past Yom Kippur, I also found the lost wedding ring of the wife of the guest cantor.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-38769873411938097242018-12-06T21:04:53.005-08:002018-12-06T21:04:53.005-08:00Cherdo, Alabama needed that vote, but I understand...Cherdo, Alabama needed that vote, but I understand your reasoning why.

While Miss Tutti has a beautiful voice, Alabama had me at “I believe,” because I do too ;-)<br /><br />At the grocery store one day, I was already annoyed by having to pull a fifty pound bag of dog food from a shelf as high as my shoulders and hoping to simply let it drop into the buggy I had carefully position below. But the bag stuck on a piece of orange iron; requiring me to get under it before it ripped and spilled all over the aisle. Out of the blue came two hardly able hands to help me muscle the dang thing into the cart, and soon I was staring into the kind face of an elderly man who had dropped his cane to assist me. I thanked him profusely as I reached for his cane. He then, took my hand and kissed it before he sauntered slowly away. Oddly, there had been no one else in the aisle when I reached for the bag in the first place.<br /><br />“They wear so many faces, show up in the strangest places…”<br />diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-22523301045583406102018-12-03T09:43:28.218-08:002018-12-03T09:43:28.218-08:00This is not a song I care for because I don't ...This is not a song I care for because I don't like the country vibe and I don't care for the typical American idol/The Voice style.
