Sharing with you things that are on my mind...Maybe yours too. Come back to Wrights Lane for a visit anytime! And, by all means, let's hear from you by leaving a comment at the end of any post. THE MOTIVATION: I firmly believe that if I have felt, experienced or questioned something in life, then surely others must have too. That's what this blog is all about -- hopefully relating in some meaningful way -- sharing, if you will, on subjects of an inspirational and human interest nature. Nostalgia will frequently find its way into some of the items...And lots of food for thought. A work in progress, to be sure.

TODAY, HIS CHURCH IN TARA...TOMORROW, GRAND OLE OPRY

This is a video of a young lad I have taken a special interest in. His name is Issiah Rose, he lives in Tara, Ontario, is 10 years of age and will be going into Grade 7 in September. He has impressed me with his natural musical ability, especially because he has never had a lesson...He is strictly self taught with some encouragement from an aunt and a special church elder friend. He continues to astound his non-musical parents. His musical talent truly comes from within his "old soul" and is a therapeutic escape for him when dealing with bouts of diagnosed ADHD. He often plays and sings during worship services at Cornerstone Presbyterian Church in his home town where I frequently fill in as a lay preacher. Issiah refers proudly to a standing ovation he received during a school concert this spring. "I surprised them," he says convincingly. In this video Issiah was entertaining early-comers to a wedding vows renewal ceremony for his parents Teresa and Elvin Rose. Long-term ambition?...You bet!..To some day perform on stage at the Grand Old Opry in Nashville.
