Bluebird At My Window

When faced with trauma, how would you react? Would you survive, succumb, or lose yourself to your own meaning of justice? Ann was only seventeen when she died. She tried to be a dutiful daughter, to pray, to repent. But it wasn't enough. Her mother, Diane, didn't mean to kill her but when she found Ann consorting with devils, she had no choice. She believed the angels-that in the end, the water would save them both. But every choice holds weight. One death, and Arthur is thrown back into the work he wanted to leave. One death, and Richard must face the reality of his choices. One death, and Maddie and Marie are confronted with the hardest parts of love.

This book explores the musical interest and needs of children in their daily lives. Based upon their expressed thoughts and actual "musicking" behaviors, this text examines the songs they sing, the rythyms they make, and the roles that music plays for them. Blending standard education field experiences with ethnographic techniques, Dr. Campbell demonstrates how music is personally and socially meaningful to children and what values they place on particular musical styles, songs, and functions. He explores musical behaviors in various contextual settings, and presents in notated and narrative forms some of the "songs in their heads," balancing music learned with music "made," and intentional, purposeful music with natural musical behavior. Songs in Their Heads is a vivid and engaging book that bridges the disciplines of music education, musicology, ethnomusicology, and folklore. Designed as a text or supplemental text in a variety of music education method courses, as well as a reference for music specialists and classroom teachers, this book will also appeal to parents interested in understanding and enhancing music making in their children.

Birds. Flowers. Flowering shrubs. Changing seasons. Changing skies. These can be seen outside author Rachel Jolly West’s window every day. It tells her creation is alive, and she realizes we may often take it for granted. In The View from My Window, West shares how it’s more than watching the neighborhood from the window. It is seeing creation through God’s eyes. In The View from My Window, Rachel Jolly West offers a collection of stories that shares what she sees outside her window and how God speaks to her through nature. Have you ever seen your inner beauty through a gerber daisy plant? Have you heard God tell you the meaning of a fallen tree on your hike through the woods? Have you watched birds at a feeder searching for seed, and God opened your eyes to the spiritual experience and meaning? In this devotional, West encourages you to sit on the porch, on the beach, at your favorite window seat, or wherever your comfort place is, and let God meet you and share his wonderful creations.
