Quotes from Jeff Graves’ blog

I have gleaned a few quotes from my son’s blog, jeff-graves.com. I will add to these quotes from time to time. Please visit jeff-graves.com for insights and comments about technology and leadership:

Do your wounds make you a better leader? I believe mine have.  We all have suffered wounds of one kind or another.  This might be the loss of a loved one, a physical impairment, a mental or emotional disappointment, or simply a setback where things are not going the way we planned. If you let your wounds, your failures, your losses define you then you limit not only your own personal growth but your ability to lead others as well.

Two new music compositions

7.26.2016

I have posted two new versions of my musical compositions on my music website, jsgraves.musicaneo.com.  One is a  new version  of my Love Beyond All Telling for children’s choir. The words are from a  poem by Little Rock poet Carol Sieman:

Oh Love beyond all telling, You come to this poor dwelling and make yourself at home, You feed my soul with bread and wine, You fill my heart with angel joy, You lead my thoughts to heavenly places, revealing saintly prayers and faces, You live in my heart, You live in my heart.

The other work is my Song of Mary (Magnificat), the abridged version for adult choir, a new more compact version of this large work to be used as a stand alone anthem.  The work includes settings of the traditional Hail Mary, as well as portions of the Magnificat. 

Both of these works may be viewed on my music website,  jsgraves.musicaneo.com.  Please take a look.
