    This a screen shot from the Video “ Warwick Museum Tours: “A People for Jehovah’s Name.”
    That is my grandmother Betty Shilton seated at the piano. She went to Bethel in 1946 as an organist for WBBR and remained there until her death.
    I have very few pictures of her and I did not have this one.

    As humans we will often dissapoint one another. Thats why whatever we do, we do it for Jehovah because he will never make us feel bad. So we shouldnt make goals to impress men or because all our friends are doing it.

    A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRANSLATION
    A translator can explain the meaning of words from another language, but...
     
    Music has the unparalleled ability to “translate” human feelings and emotions so that a person can relive those same feelings again by means of a song/score/lyrics. Those feelings can also be “translated” for the benefit of others, helping others to identify certain feelings or unexpressed thoughts within them self. LIke a wind turbine that converts the wind’s kenetic energy into electrical power, the song writer or musician can covert a human experience into a special language that can express beauty or sadness. Music can take something from the inner depths of a person and converts it, translates it into a powerful “sonic” language. Even a particular musical note or chord can be a “harmonic match” for a specific emotion.
    Who is responsible for this ingenious “translation” ability that humans have?

    Got a box of fresh produce from the cong yesterday. I will cook a couple of vegges, separately, tomorrow, and use most of the rest in a vegetable soup (what my Sicilian grandmother used to call giambotta.)

    Not good news. A close friend in my congregation just told me his mother tested positive for COVID-19 this morning. She's 93, in a residence, and in the Italian congregation. No trouble breathing, but has a fever.

    Sisters, I don’t know about you, but, I’m 76 and have nice heels for the meetings. I put on a pair the other day, and, I don’t know. My days of heels may just be gone. I’ve been sort of careful, because I knew I was pushing it anyway. 
    If this is so, it will be a whole new world for me, when and if, we get back to the hall. 
    In the meantime, um, shhhh. Barefoot is just wonderful. At the hall, if I could, I’d be barefoot. (I do have shoes right next to me. For the meeting. But...) 
    There’s a gal, Rihanna Geddings, a singer. She was on stage, “dressed to the nines”, and,  barefoot. My kind of dressing up. Country and western singer, and, sort of blues. 
    Barefoot Indians. My good friend said something derogatory about such. That is fine. If I have a choice, it will always be barefoot!

    Why do people in the world refuse to get married before knowing if the partner is good in bed, but fail to find out if the partner is marriage material before going to bed with each other?
