Well right now I am on the praise team at church and we plan on cutting a cd sometime this year. But I want to do my own cd's also. But I am being held up because of copyright stuff. I write songs and have to get them copy written and there are a few I have to wait for the other person's copyright to be able to use their song. I might end up recording all my own songs on my own cd so I can try to get it out. I don't expect to get any where but I love to sing so it will just be a dream I am trying to do myself. I know what you mean about motivation. I hardly have any now days. If I did I would be further than what I am with my music. But I have been rejected so many times I get this thought of what's the use it probably won't go anywhere like everything else I have done in my life. I always tell everyone if I ever had a business I would only hire visually impaired people. And I will. If the rest of the world can decrimminate so can I. I can always say. I hired the most qualified and they are it. I can create a website with comcast but I have never done it so I guess I am just chicken. If I wrote a book it would be about miracles and prophecies and such. I might put my tesitmony in it somewhere just so people know how I came to find the Lord. If you had your own business you may not have any depression to worry about because you would be to busy. I hope. I know I get depress when I don't have anything to do. These are all good ideas. -- I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is IN GOD WE TRUST Karen Carter '74 -KC- Ministries -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Sharon Hooley <[log in to unmask]> > Karen, > > What are you doing with music?
