Mindy Gledhill wrote and sang an amazing song called "Child of Light." The words are a call to each of us as His special disciples in these last days preparatory to His second coming. We are carrying the torch that was passed on to us, lit over a century ago as an ensign to the world of light and truth. The banner was stitched by our pioneer ancestors as a symbol of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let us all hold the banner high!!!
One of our greatest heartbreaks comes from the loss of a child - either to physical death or spiritual death. Pertaining to the later, a prophet declared for children of the covenant, "... Though some of the sheep may wander, the eye of the Shepherd is upon them, and sooner or later they will feel the tentacles of Divine Providence reaching out after them and drawing them back to the fold. Either in this life or the life to come, they will return. They will have to pay their debt to justice; they will suffer for their sins; and may tread a thorny path; but if it leads them at last, like the penitent Prodigal, to a loving and forgiving father's heart and home, the painful experience will not have been in vain. Pray for your careless and disobedient children; hold on to them with your faith. Hope on, trust on, till you see the salvation of God."
About Mindy
For years, Mindy Gledhill’s relentless search for meaning has inspired her to pursue a variety of musical projects, both at home and abroad, and has now launched her head-first down a rabbit hole of new melodic creativity.
Over the course of her musical career, Mindy has recorded wildly successful indie albums with a cadre of award-winning producers, starting with her 2004 debut, followed by four more albums over the next decade (Feather in the Wind, Anchor, Pocketful of Poetry, and the Christmas album Winter Moon).
In addition to her own releases, Mindy has also performed as a guest artist on multiple acclaimed projects, including Kaskade’s 2011 Grammy-nominated album, Fire & Ice. Her popularity has led to sold out shows across the US, as well as performances with remarkable musical groups ranging from orchestras and rock bands to bluegrass revivalists.
It’s also brought her music to primetime TV, where it has appeared in So You Think You Can Dance, Bones, 20/20, The Good Wife, and Dancing with the Stars. In addition, her work has been featured in several television commercials, including Fruit of the Loom’s 2012 Olympic Games ad campaign, AAA Insurance’s 2014 Super Bowl campaign, and LG Phones, to name a few.
But as rewarding as those successes have been, Mindy has always felt compelled to traverse the provincial borders of her backyard. Over the years, she has sung and danced with inspiring Kenyan women while on a humanitarian trip, guided an artists’ retreat to Morocco, and enjoyed sold-out tours in Japan and a number-one hit single in Korea.
More recently, the personal trails she has blazed—complete with unexpected forks, twists, and turns—have led to a fresh destination on her musical map. Her new album, appropriately entitled Rabbit Hole, is the breathy confessional of a rapt soul who slipped down the curious tunnel of experience, landed in a hall of locked doors, and refused to be contained. In Rabbit Hole, Mindy confronts the challenges of life—all its unfulfilled expectations, sudden detours, and existential wounds—and presents us with a silver lining through bouncy rhythms and ballads of unabashed optimism. In spite of life’s crucibles and crises, she reassures us that everything is going to be alright, and that “To be upside down is a fine way to be.”
