Have you ever noticed that nothing is done
by itself or all alone?
The teacher imparts from the depths of the heart
the knowledge of meter and tone;
The musician works long hours and hard
on the notes of another man's song,
The songwriter also has learned at the knee,
it's a line unbroken and long;
And parents who prompt, urging "Practice!" (with love,)
add their part to the swelling refrain...
While the Master Musician gives freely to each -
time, tune, talent and brain!

Praise the Lord Sister Marj. I love your Phoebe's page. I passed along your Egyptian poem and the loved it. Your family pictures are wonderful and made me jealous to see so many smiling faces. I wish I had my family close by. Keep up the good work and I am sure God is going to bless many by your work.

Auntie M,
You're amazingly gifted and it's beautiful to see all of it dedicated to the Lord's work. It's an honor just to know you. I consider it amazing that I'm actually related to you! I'm a shameless name dropper when I meet new folks. I say, "Oh, do you know Marjorie Kinnee?" (They always do.) Then I say, "WELL! She's my aunt!!!!" (I get lots of "woo woos" here.) I love you! I love what you write! God bless you!
Your nieces to pieces,
Charlotte
Well, my dear Marjorie. We certainly go back a few years. You were born the day before me in the same room. Our mothers were best friends.
Now, here we are - miles apart - but still communicating.
I hope to see you at our 45th class reunion in August.
Keep up the good work!
