Well now I just had to share this with you in a blog! 

Have you, like me listened to someone on the radio or on a CD who you have never met before in person. Or seen in photos or you saw them years into their career maybe and then you met them in person or saw a picture from their younger years and they looked completely different than you imagined them to be? 

Wow! This was not at all what I had imagined Etta James to look like at all! 

I loved this rendition of this song so much too that I just had to share it here. What a fun song and with such great artistic delivery by Etta. There is no doubt she is one of the best classic jazz singers of all time for sure. I may never be known for being a classic jazz singer but I will forever enjoy listening and singing along to the greats! 

I am going to share this over on Facebook come on over and let me know who your favourite Jazz greats are! I would love to hear, and if you have a fave song that they have done let...

Where we choose focus can give us hope or despair. May you find like my friend Ruth did that our focus on the ONE who is in front of them is worth of being fed. 

We are able to choose Hope. As we focus on the ONE who is in front of us - the one that is in the middle of it all! Let Go for you know that God is with us in ALL things!

A POEM - Inspired by the work my friend Ruth does in Africa to feed babies!

My focus today is on the ONE

First - the ONE with whom my very life would not exist...
Thank you God!
Second - the ONE who is front of me this day...
All of You - Thanks for sharing this journey!
Third - The One Moment I am in right now...
Thank you for giving me the time to live now Lord!
Fourth - The ONE time to choose life...
I am thankful for the power of choice!
Fifth - The ONE life that I am giving to make a difference...
May we through our giving help others and continually give thanks! For this is the will of God for you today... GIVE THANKS!

Thank you God for Your...
