I was asked to speak at our Stake Conference a few months ago regarding music. The experience really help me to grow and learn. I include my thoughts and remarks here in hopes that some of the ideas and quotes might help others studying this topic.
Our family recently decided to move (thus my temporary hiatus from the site!) and we ended up, surprisingly, in Cache Valley, Utah. This isn’t where we intended to move when we started looking, but through powerful personal experiences with the spirit and answers to prayers, we know it’s where we are supposed to be – and it’s beautiful.
“Why are you giving your music away?”
A fair question with a reasonably easy answer: to help proclaim truth and spread beauty. Altruistic? I suppose it is a bit; but I hope it doesn’t sound proud or patronizing.
