I've been trying to figure out what my favorite songs are, considering maybe, top 20. Only the top 3 are in any particular order, by that I mean they are my top 3 favorite songs, probably tied amongst themselves.
1-3) O Holy Night - Placide Cappeau (and later translated from French to the currently sung version by John Sullivan Dwight) I love this for the following lines:
Truly He taught us To love one another;
His law is love And His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break For the slave is our brother;
And in His name All oppression shall cease.
Change Gonna Come-Sam Cooke (give me chills every time I hear it.)
Redemption Song - Bob Marley (very close second is the duet version by Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer)
To me all three are songs about hope, and that's what the writers had when they wrote, there have been many changes since they were written, but we have yet to arrive, sometimes if you listen to the news, you could believe we've gone backwards (war, slavery, suffering, bombing), but then they are stories of the strength of the human spirit and of the love and selflessness that also exists (Haiti.) There is so much work to do, but we are the ones for the task.

waiting for a computer to get fixed
Well, I didn't quite make the Advent Calendar thing work this past holiday season, will try again next year. Been having technical difficulties. Received a computer as a gift on Christmas and as of today, Feb. 5, 2010, still can't get it to work, but finally got permission this week to send it back to the company (HP) to have it looked at. Got the box yesterday, but will have to wait until Monday to ship, as FedEx doesn't pick up on weekends. I hope it can be fixed. It never did work (crashed every couple of minutes to a dreaded blue screen with an ever changing variety of "notices.") The phone tech (4th or 6th or something) told me to take off the back and switch the chips, then it didn't work at all...felt like I had to do what she said in order to get permission to ship back to HP...now I only hope it's still covered by the warranty...yikes!
