    LISTEN TO SOME SWEET MUSIC FROM MY NEW CD "LOVE'S SWEET SONG" AVAILABLE @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

     

    Athena,

    IN HONOR OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS ON CHRISTMAS, I GIVE YOU THE FOLLOWING ON THE LIFE OF JESUS ...

    "Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was 30, and then for 3 years He was an itinerant preacher.

    He never wrote a BOOK. He never HELD AN OFFICE. He never OWNED A HOME. He never had a FAMILY. He never went to COLLEGE. He never put his foot inside a big city. He never traveled 200 miles from the place where he was born. He never did ONE OF THE THINGS that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but HIMSELF.

    While still a young man, the TIDE OF POPULAR OPINION turned against him. He was turned over to his ENEMIES. He went through the MOCKERY OF A TRIAL. He was nailed to a Cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the ONLY PIECE OF PROPERTY he had on earth while he was dying—and that was his robe.

    When he was dead he was taken down and laid in a BORROWED GRAVE through the pity of a friend. He AROSE FROM THE DEAD and ascended into HEAVEN. Twenty centuries have come and gone. I am within the mark when I say that all the ARMIES that ever MARCHED, and all the NAVIES that ever were BUILT, and all the PARLIAMENTS that ever SAT, and all the KINGS that ever REIGNED, PUT TOGETHER, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as POWERFULLY as has that ONE SOLITARY LIFE."

    ~ James C. Hefley

    MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ENJOY PEACE AND JOY THIS CHRISTMAS!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    Oh ...my ...GOD!! I just caught your "Girls Rock Festival 2011" video, and I no longer believe that the aforementioned "butterflies" (nor the obligatory "lollipops", for that matter) will be anywhere near enough to cheer you up! I need to just shut up now. Sorry for all my smart-aleck comments. "Contrite." "Sorry." Gotta go....

    Dearest Athena, Mightn't we, your adoring fans from clear across the country, somehow induce you to cheer up? Why is your (status) mood always "angsty" and your emoticon always "frowny face"? Write a song about butterflies. "Took the subway; saw a butterfly, and life was good." Or, "Lollipops in New York". Something like that.
