So, it's a quiet Monday morning, trying to finish school quickly so we can go to the Creamery tonight. I have a WW1 timeline I'm tryin' to do on the internet.
Actually, Jon's listening to Weird Al, I'm clear in the living room but I can hear it loud and...noisy

-and it hasn't even been a week. All right, these questions should interest you:

What is your favorite Superhero movie(getting in the spirit, lol!)
What is your favorite kind of dog?(Annavalla, do NOT say a 'dead dog')
If you had one million dollars to spend(it was all taxed and tithed, and added up to 1 million) what would you spend it on?

Superman was cool, there were two things I hated about it:
1. about Lois Lane and her "boyfriend" and "son"
2. about the dog eating the other dog
the rest of it was awesome.
My favorite part would be the second half of the movie. which really narrows it doen :)

Why should We Know the History of the Harp and Its Teachers?
By Christiana Ingersoll, June 9th, 2006

We should know basic history for reference, and for help. For many years, researchers have been finding new things, and inventors creating new tools to do amazing things, but where did the resources to find those discoveries and new inventions come from? To build better tools like the ones we have today, inventors must first learn the use of the old tools. Some things have not changed over the course of history. For example, dinner knives. Before there were forks, knives were used. Even now, though we may use forks more, the knife has not changed from its use for carving turkeys, or chopping onions.
For help on when a string starts buzzing, or when a lever suddenly breaks off in your hand(thankfully, that's never happened to me before!) you would turn to your handy 'Ten Ways to Fix Your Own Harp' book. But have you ever wondered who wrote it? And where they got the information from? And where the informers get their information and so on? The study of history can tell you the inventors and how they invented it. So for reference, you do turn to history, even when you don't realize it.

We should know the history of the harp for better performance and for good stewardship. One thing that we as Christians need to remember, is that we should always ALWAYS be good stewards of the things that God has given us. One of the things that God has graciously given us as harpists, is a harp. In 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 it says: “Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy.” To treat the harp right, we need to know our harp and its history. How David played a harp with so few strings, I have no idea, but he was very good, even with that little harp. We have larger harps today; we need to be as good stewards of them as David was of his little harp.
Our chief purpose on earth is to glorify God. We can do this in playing the harp. In performing the pieces we are given to learn, we must practice. However, if we have not heard the piece played before, or know who composed the piece, we probably won't learn it as fast as a familiar piece. This is one reason we need to know who wrote it, and what the reason for writing it was. If you pass someone by who is whistling something you've never heard before, but it catches your attention, and you ask him what it was and he tells you it's a tune that pictures a cat chasing a spider, then the tune has more meaning and you actually start liking it better...or if there is a modern piece you're playing that sounds so awful and maybe sounds all wrong when you play it, and then you look it up and realize it's suppose to sound funny like a fire truck siren, then you can play it well. Beforehand, you would never have guessed.

We should know the history of the teachers of the harp for reference, help, better performance, and for good stewardship. You are sitting at your desk in a school room (if you're home schooled, its your dining room table) your brother is playing your harp without asking you and it sounds strange. You ask him what he is playing and he tells you it is by a certain composer who has a history(at least as far as you're concerned) of awful music. Before you yell at your brother, you count to ten and decide to research it. On the computer, you find out that the composer was actually fighting in a war at the time and just trying his best to write songs that suited his time in history so he could provide for his family, and that he was named as one of the greatest music writers of the century. When you research the background of the song, you start liking it more and more, and before you know it, you have a new favorite composer because you did your research. And you live happily ever after. No, seriously, researching different songs and teachers will really help, so with these three things we can answer the question at the top of the page.

awsome time at VBS, kids are soooo cool. Anyway, glad I got to help.
