So my sister told me yesterday about a new decision the region has made that there cannot be any music sung in sacrament meeting except what is from the hymn book and exactly how it is written. This includes choirs and special musical numbers. I am sooooo sad i started crying when she told me. I feel personally hurt by this decision (I know i shouldn't but i can't help it.) No one understands why i am so upset by it. When i sing it is the only time i feel good about myself. It is a way for me to share my testimony more affectively and confidently than giving it on fast sunday. I just feel so lost because of this new decisions. I feel that there are so many people i could have touched through music and now i can't. Yea the hymns are great but they are to formiliar to people and if being sung as a solo there is no way to mix things up. Even yesterday at church a girl in my ward i do not know came up to me and told me that she was so touched by my singing when i sang in church last and that was in december. obviously it really did touch her if she is remembering it 2 months later. I don't know why im even telling you this, i guess i just thought you would maybe understand how i am feeling. I really look up to you.

Have you heard Freddie Ashby "Reflections of Christ", sing it? It is great. I too, see the comparison with John Newton to Alma The Younger. But, the important thing is, they, like us, can find the Savior and change, truly a miracle. I would love to hear you sing it. Thank you for the enlightment, the song is incredible.

It was one of the songs we had sung at Carleigh's funeral. One of her middle names is "Grace", and she was amazing... it just seemed appropriate - even though she never sinned. We love this song.

As a teenager, I loved the way I could belt it out with boldness. The last time I sang it was a little more reverently for a dear friend's funeral. I do love the truthfulness of the message--how sweet the sound. I stand all amazed. I, too, love the message and melody of Amazing Grace.
