I "lurk" on your blog quite a bit and I just wanted to comment to day about diversity... I was in the gospel choir in high school. I was the only white girl and I loved it! I also sing in church and it's pretty white. ANY-hoo I agree that gospel music just pierces you right to your soul! And I don't really know many white girls that can sing it the right way ya know? I TRY but.. meh. I'm white so ya know, I kinda suck at it so I only do it in the shower:-) Oh and Congratualtions on the new babe! P.S. I don't think it would be bad if you used your son's middle name for the new baby. I think it would be a wonderful tribute for both of them to share. -Misi Hi there.

One person said to me that the only other black people in SLC play for the Jazz. Me and Karl Malone. And I think expressed this fear to you, Sarah and Bishop Deal and you all understood, which I appreciated immensely. So what I'm failing miserably at saying is that I'm actually looking forward to coming to Utah. It will be like Upstate NY but a touch whiter. I'm ok with that. Also, y'all should let Loralee sing in your ear while you are possibly drunk and drinking wine out of a paper coffee cup. She's really good. And not because I was drunk but because...DAMN...she's amazing.

It IS here, you just have to look a little harder. Fortunately my children are color blind. My grandchildren are all biracial--mixes of white, native american, black, and hispanic. Our family is becoming a wonderful rainbow of love. Having grown up in KY, I know what you mean about the lack of cultural diversity (color) here. It IS here, you just have to look a little harder.
