Hallelujah
Hallelujah | J Scott Featherstone
12 posts
Hallelujah is the remarkable story of one of the greatest events in musical history, the creation of George Frederic Handel's masterpiece, Messiah. Composed in just twenty-four days, Handel's "Grand Oratorio which rendered him immortal" was birthed in the darkest and most desperate hours of his life. His health was failing. Critics ridiculed him. Creditors hounded him. Enemies perscuted him. Pride had nearly destroyed him. Yet, out of Handel's night emerged the dawn of Messiah. Anyone who has thrilled at hearing the Hallelujah Chorus will feel "profound attachment" to Handel's story of hope and redemption as timeless ans poignant as the music itself.

Today, for the first time in ages, I was able to sit and read for a good 3 hours straight. I didn‘t grab my phone for updates on the election or the latest outrage. I was able to focus. It is such a relief.

BookishMarginalia Yes! Here‘s to returning to the times of boring, competent governing! 3y
Reggie Sounds heavenly! 3y

Finally! Halle-freakin-lujah!!!! We can now filter Kindle books to show “read” or “unread.” I‘m over-the-moon happy about this.

Or did this happen weeks ago and I‘m just now noticing???

#kindle

Ashley_Nicoletto Whattttt?! Trying this out. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I only wish it was actually accurate. Thankfully, the user can mark the book as read. 5y
Itchyfeetreader Great tip off to look for this 5y
cathysaid @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yeah, seems to be a bit off...hope they fix that. 😐 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @cathysaid What I think is that it draws from Goodreads. If you marked an edition other than Kindle as Read, it does t show up in your list. 5y

Just had my annual physical, and was chatting with the doctor about my blood work. Asked her for a few suggestions for ways to increase my HDL level. She recommended the Mediterranean diet and said to pick up a cookbook if I don't already have one. So basically, I get to go home and tell my husband that MY DOCTOR SAID I HAVE TO GO TO THE BOOKSTORE.

Can I get an "amen"? ?????

Aims42 Amen!!! 🙌🏻 5y

MicheleinPhilly @Lmstraubie I just have to dig them out and match them up. 7y
MicheleinPhilly @LauraBrook @BarbaraTheBibliophage I spend so much more time outside when it cools off. I feel like I'm the opposite of everyone else. I hibernate in the AC all summer. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Me too. Heat just slays me. 7y
LauraBeth I like a forecast that ends in an exclamation point! 7y
Lmstraubie @MicheleinPhilly They don't need to match. They just need to be cozy! 7y
