Do you think I could start with their new CD since it's coming up on Advent?

You are one strong woman. And thank you for the kind words! <br /><br />That is so beautiful about your experience with "Let All Mortal Flesh" and it brought tears to my eyes!! What a grace in such a hard moment. It is such a powerful song.<br /><br />That's great about the campaign! Hope I can get you some publicity here and that it works! I'm hoping to get our local radio station to participate and bring them back this way again!Mary @ Better Than Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409924891343767874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-75875806620974552282013-11-16T06:41:32.736-05:002013-11-16T06:41:32.736-05:00I honestly cannot pick a favorite out of the two! ...I honestly cannot pick a favorite out of the two!

I read your blog all the time and have found such inspiration especially when you share about homeschooling, and miscarriages. I'm sorry I don't comment more often - I'm lazy like that. We are new (this year) to homeschooling and are enjoying it thoroughly so far, and we've had 6 miscarriages, and your posts on (and around) Remembrance day were beautiful.<br /><br />I LOVE Marian Grace's music. What you said about Colleen's voice couldn't be more true. It is one of the purest I've heard. She and Jimmy have helped me fall in love with the rich, beautiful sacred music of our faith. We got to hear Marian Grace at our Diocesan Romance Night almost 2 years ago and I was positively enchanted the entire night. As she was beginning the opening song of the show "Let all Mortal Flesh" we got a text that my husbands Godfather had died after a few month battle with cancer. I was in tears as she sang the lyrics "At His feet the six winged seraph Cherubim with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry, "Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord Most High" thinking about how hopefully Dan was experiencing that at that same moment. I still think of him every time I hear that song (which is often, 'cause I listen to my Marian Grace CDs all the time.)<br /><br />And by the by, I can't believe that Colleen commented on your blog. Pretty sure that makes you famous.<br /><br />We are currently doing a campaign for Love Good Music to get them 20 new patrons and to bring them back to our hometown. If your readers want to use the code "wichita" they can save $5 off their monthly subscription, and it helps towards our count of 20. Just wanted to throw that out there.<br /><br />Thanks so much for blogging - I try but find it's the first thing to go when "life" happens.<br /><br />God bless!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669755102095027123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-45055726522351513972013-11-15T18:35:52.274-05:002013-11-15T18:35:52.274-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669755102095027123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-78784405649869621852013-11-15T17:06:09.417-05:002013-11-15T17:06:09.417-05:00Oh, thank you!
