When I was in elementary school, my big brother bought me a cassette tape that I played over and over and loved. I have no idea what it was called. I remember parts of lyrics to the first song: "You can surely say, in a certain way, each and every day's a new beginning. Starting out to see possibilities . . . " That's as much as I remember. One of the other songs was a mother-daughter duet that I thought was very pretty.

Anyone have a clue what this might be?

I think you're making the whole thing up .... but just on the off chance that you're not I'll keep working on it. After all, it's distracting me from the joys of contractions! :-)

Who now? All I remember buying you is an Alyssa Milano tape with "Do Run Run" when I was in Japan.

No, this was earlier - Westernville early. Though, I do love my Alyssa Milano tape - my favorite being "Itsumadimo kimi wa Sunshine Boy."

WESTERNVILLE early??? Eepers! I've been having a hard enough time figuring out what sort of thing Jim might have possibly given you post-Westernville early much less THAT early! Closest I've been able to come lyric wise was a pretty bad (IMHO) Diana Ross song called "Back To The Future" ... no relation to the movie, though, so I can't imagine why Jim would have gotten it for anyone. Hey Beth - could you hum a few bars? ;-)

{chorus}
You can surely say, in a certain way, each and every day's a new beginning.
starting out to see possibilities, you can hold the keys to happy endings... its all in how you look at it to get what you see!

coz every days a new beginning if you want it to be.

verse

NO matter what you're doing now, or what you've done, sunshine can break through the clouds, you can start from square one!

{Chorus}

verse 2

Unlock those long forgotten dreams, they can come true, there's so much that you can be, if you really want to!

{Chorus}

I am from Melbourne Australia and I was also introduced to this song around the same age as you. i first heard it in 3rd grade, 1995. we would always sing a song during morning prayer (Catholic school)

I don't know if this helps at all but maybe the full lyrics will jog your memory.

Sermon for First Sunday in Lent, Year B, "Jesus in the Wilderness," Mark 1:1-4, 9-15

Sermon 2/18/18 Mark 1:1-4, 9-15 Jesus in the Wilderness             You’ve heard me say before that the gospel of Mark is my favorite gospel. Part of the reason I love it is because of Mark’s brevity. I don’t love that he’s short on details, exactly. I love that he seems practically breathless in getting the good news of Jesus to us, and that he seems to believe that the news is so good it isn’t even going to take very many words to convince you of his message! His frantic style strikes me as showing both how important and how convincing he believes Jesus’s message to be.             But, then we arrive at a Sunday like today, and I find myself a little frustrated perhaps, or at least a little challenged by Mark. In the lectionary, the series of the first Sunday in the season of Lent always focuses on the temptation of Jesus – his time in the wilderness, where he confronts Satan, and commits to God’s path rather than the flashy alternative Satan presents. This is the fo

Sermon for the First Sunday in Advent, "Hope: A Thrill of Hope," Mark 1:1-8

Sermon 11/26/17 Mark 1:1-8 Hope: A Thrill of Hope             Are you a pessimist or an optimist? Is the glass of life half empty, or half full? My mom and I have gone back and forth about this a bit over the years. She’s wildly optimistic about most things, and sometimes I would say her optimism, her hopefulness borders on the irrational. If the weather forecast says there’s a 70% chance of a snowstorm coming, my mom will focus very seriously on that 30% chance that it is going to be a nice day after all. I, meanwhile, will begin adjusting my travel plans and making a backup plan for the day. My mom says I’m a pessimist, but I would argue that I’m simply a realist , trying to prepare for the thing that is most likely to happen, whether I like that thing or not. My mom, however, says she doesn’t want to be disappointed twice, both by thinking something bad is going to happen, and then by having the bad thing actually happen. She’d rather be hopeful, and enjoy her state of

Sermon for Second Sunday in Advent, "Peace: All Is Calm, All Is Bright," Isaiah 11:1-10, Mark 13:24-37

Sermon 12/3/17 Mark 13:24-37, Isaiah 11:1-10 Peace: All Is Calm, All Is Bright             “Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright. Round yon’ virgin mother and child. Holy infant, so tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.”             This week, I read news stories about North Korea testing a missile that perhaps could reach across the whole of the United States.             This week, I spoke with a colleague in ministry who had, like all churches in our conference, received from our church insurance company information about how to respond in an active shooter situation. She was trying to figure out how to respond to anxious parishioners and yet not get caught up in spending all of their ministry time on creating safety plans.             This week, we’ve continued to hear stories from people who have experienced sexual assault and harassment, as the actions, sometimes over decades, of men in positions of power have been
