This year, my family and I were blessed to be a part of our church’s Christmas Cantata. If you have about thirty minutes, please watch.
I played around with some layering and thought I’d give you a little behind-the-scenes.
(Disclaimer: I don’t claim to be a layer master so if you know of something I did wrong, don’t hesitate to show me a simpler way)
Program: Photoshop Elements 10
First Layer: Violin
Of course, I began with the violin! 🙂 I lightly edited the image in Photoshop Elements 3, particularly upping the contrast. So, here is the almost-original image:
Second Layer: Blue
Next, I created a blue fill layer (color: 5c687a).
{Layer > New Fill Layer > Mode: Color Burn > Color 5c687a}
I set the opacity for this layer to 50%. This is what it did to the violin image:
Layer 03: Grass
I selected another image I had taken of simple weeds.
Here is another video we took at the Bible conference. My sister, Elizabeth, is singing “Bow the Knee.” The words are amazing – if you have a few minutes, please listen!
By way of testimony, this past Sunday, our family was blessed to sing at Lanier Baptist Church in Baton Rouge, LA. We had an amazing time with this church! Such a sweet, sweet spirit! We sang about eight songs and then Pastor Mike brought a message from Philippians 2. We had already been asked to sing a song for invitation and had decided upon “Bow the Knee.” As I sat there, listening to Bro. Mike reading through and expounding on Philippians 2, I was again amazed at how God worked. Before we knew what the message was, He laid it on our hearts to have a song which so beautifully fit in with the message. I’ll never stop being amazed at how God works!
Recorded a few years ago for a missionary friend, this is one of my absolute favorite songs that my family and I sing:
This past week, my family and I had an extremely blessed time at our local Bible Conference. We worked up a few new songs for the week. Here is one of them: ever hear “People Need the Lord” with banjo? It actually works! 😉
Vocalists: Amanda (tenor), Elizabeth (soprano), Joanna (alto)
Instrumentalists: Samuel (bajo), Timothy (bass guitar), Rebecca (classical guitar)
I almost never share videos, but here are a couple of songs that have recently been introduced to me and I think the messages are amazing.
For those of you who know my family, we’re actually working on our own rendition of “In Christ Alone.” If we ever get it videod, I might have to share that, too. 🙂
