You Are My All in All

You Are My All In All

by Dennis Jernigan

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all!

Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all!

Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is your name!
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is your name!

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising again, I bless your name
You are my all in all!
When I fall down, you pick me up
When I am dry, You fill my cup
You are my all in all!

Hymn to Freedom

Hymn to Freedom | 1962

Music:
Oscar Peterson

Lyrics: Harriette Hamilton

When every heart joins every heart and together yearns for liberty,
     that's when we'll be free.
When every hand joins every hand and together molds our destiny,
     that's when we'll be free.
Any hour any day, the time soon will come when men will live in dignity,
     that's when we'll be free, we will be
When every man joins in our song and together singing harmony,
     that's when we'll be free.

personal dna


You are a Creator

Your imagination, confidence, willingness to explore, and appreciation of beauty make you a CREATOR.

You are independent, and you enjoy your self-sufficiency.

Defying convention, you are very innovative, and you have a vivid imagination.

The look of things is important to you, and you have a keen eye for aesthetic beauty in multiple arenas.

You have a strong interest in what is new and exciting—and that includes forging ahead with new ideas, not simply discovering what is already out there.

Your eagerness to seek new and varied experiences leads you into many different situations.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you are creative when it comes to finding novel solutions to complex problems.

You trust yourself to be innovative and resourceful.

Your confidence allows you to take your general awareness and channel it into creativity.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.


If you want to be different:

Appreciate the earthly, practical elements of things—there is beauty in form as well.

While you are good at thinking abstractly, focusing on details a bit more may help you discover things about the world.how you relate to others


You are Animated

You are outgoing, comfortable with others, and up for anything, which makes you ANIMATED.

Some people find crowds and parties exhausting, but not you! You are able to be yourself in many situations.

Sometimes it is hard for you to understand why others feel the way they do, but that doesn't stop you from trusting them or having faith that they are good people.

You know the world is complicated and that there is often more than one side to a story, so you are careful not to make judgments about others too hastily.

You would rather experience the world than sit back and observe it—you are not one to sit on the sidelines.

You are an independent thinker and don't get too worried about how others might perceive you—you are not self-conscious about being the active, engaged person that you are.

Although you have a keen understanding of different people's life circumstances, you occasionally have trouble seeing why people get so upset and emotional about things—they should just lighten up and have fun!

In addition to having faith in the world, you have faith in the people around you—you trust others to do the right thing and to be honest.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.


If you want to be different:

Remember that time alone can be just as fulfilling as time spent with others—take some time for yourself and you might find that there are many things in your inner world that are just as compelling as the world outside your window.

Your open-mindedness about the ways of world gives you an understanding of people's differences, but that knowledge doesn't always translate into sympathy. Don't be afraid to let your trust and understanding influence your feelings.

Beethoven Piano Sonatas

With morning dancing being primarily a music blog, I figured it would make sense to post my Beethoven sonata list from suncountry living here. The sonatas I can play are bold indigo; if you're wondering at what level I play the Indigo Sonatas, they're either at public performance level or will be there as soon as I have them scheduled for a live gig.

new blog.

Wow, was I ever ecstatic to get the morningdance blogspot address; this blog mainly will be for listing my musical repertoire, and most likely I'll include some public performance details.

I chose the next to plainest template hoping to be sufficiently ambitious to experiment with fonts and text colors...I've long loved IMPACT!
