Just wanted to say our small church participated in a Christmas program here in a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri.
We organized a trio of Piano, Bass, and Drums and competed with our local Community Band performing 5 selections from A Jazz-Inspired Christmas. Many reported our trio was the hightlight of the evening. I am the musical director and pianist/organist of the church and perform many of your arrangements regularly. Our congregation love them and I constantly give praise to your talent and direction. I now own all of your current books and enjoy the challenge of performing them. One of my strengths is improvising and I am constantly learning new techniques and at the same time reinforcing old ones thanks to your arrangements. Please keep up the inspiring work, it keeps me on the edge of my seat. God Bless, Craig Curry!

Thank You Cyber Monday Shoppers!
Thanks Donna! Your comment was helpful to me as I’m right now in the middle of all those “upcoming” projects from May!
One thing at a time and use the hours God’s given for His glory… very good advice. Sounds a lot like Matthew 6:33-34: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Thanks again. Continuing to pray for you…

Craig, you have said all this so well. First, I am impressed that you are so goal oriented, but you get a lot done that way. Indeed, our worth is not connected to our productivity as God loves us just the way we are. I find each day challenging. I was just saying to myself about an hour ago, I have too much to do today. Then, reading this blog I realized that I just have to do one thing at a time and use the hours given me for His glory. You are a treasure, to God, and to my family!

Kansas Landmark in the NY Times

I had something of a surreal experience while browsing the web today. I saw a photo of an old, weather-worn one-room schoolhouse here in Kansas that I used to drive by featured on the NY Times website. I always thought the schoolhouse was picturesque, and especially striking as it stands alone at the top of a small hill with nothing but tallgrass fields and a dirt road as its backdrop. This little schoolhouse is just about literally in the middle of nowhere, located about an hour outside of Wichita, 100 yards off of a two lane highway.
Needless to say, I was surprised to see "my" little landmark featured on the NY Times. If you are curious and registered to the NY Times website you can read the article, "A Sliver of Prairie Still Untamed."
The only reason I know where it's located is because it served as my landmark to turn at the next right off the highway which would take me to a retreat center I used to frequent monthly for some solitude, back in the days before I had kids. When I would see the schoolhouse on the left, I knew to take the next right off the highway, go down a winding dirt road, cross the bridge over the river, and head towards the woods (yes, Kansas does have SOME wooded areas). Next thing you know, you're there.
I imagine that when most people think of Kansas, they probably think of places like those featured in this article. and they would be right--much of Kansas consists of rural areas (Wichita, where I live, being a notable exception). But as these travel writers discovered, "Kansas has a beauty all its own," as my wife is fond of saying. And I think that little old schoolhouse is a very good case in point.
