    congrats!!

    I may be small, but I'm slow.

    A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

      That's awesome. What does it mean tho.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        As for what that means, here's the language from the LDS Music Submission Guidelines website:

        Awards of Distinction ($200), Awards of Merit ($100), and special recognitions may be given in each category. A grand prize ($300) may also be awarded. Award money for a single submission will be divided equally among collaborators (if applicable).

        Submitters who are granted awards in turn grant the Church a nonexclusive, perpetual license for unlimited use. Submitters always retain the copyright for their work.

        Awarded submissions may be used on the Church music website, in Church magazines, or for other purposes. Submissions are subject to editorial changes.

              After reading your thread, you inspired me to take a stab at writing a Primary song. $200 sounds like a good deal.

              I'm not completely finished with it yet, but the theme and title is "Don't tell the Bishop Everything." The chorus is... "Jesus already knows, what no one needs to know, so don't tell the Bishop everything."

              Like I said... it's a work in progress.

                  Believe me, there are some things the bishop doesn't want to know.

                    Am I supposed to confess sins committed in a different dimension?

                        I just assume that I've done all my confessing in another dimension, and I should be good to go.

                          Sounds like the makings of another Primary song:

                          Repent, repent...in an alternate dimension.
                          Sins you commit here you don't have to mention...

                            Maybe you could have one of those references with the hymn the way they do it in the hymnal (Clack 6:23).
