On birthdays, Applebee's, and vocal talent...
What a fascinating day this one's been...
It's had its rough spots. Kailyn fell down the stairs today...OOOPS! She was okay...but like all parents would be, I think we were more rattled by the experience than she was... On top of that, she's got another mild fever again... Oh, well...the wonders of parenthood!
Spent most of today working on music for rehearsal tonight. It's going to be a big Sunday "music-wise," and hopefully in other ways, too...and I cannot wait to see where God's going to take all this...
Rehearsal went well tonight. The worship music was rough, but that's been our pattern lately...rough worship rehearsal, a clean performance on Sunday. We also prepped "Be Like That" for Sunday. The bright note of the rehearsal, though, was having new vocalists sing with us. Jordan sang with us on the worship songs, and WOW...she's already got a great voice that only got better as her confidence emerged in the rehearsal. Also, Amber is singing a special song with us, and we were FLOORED by her talent when she practiced her song. Wow, she can sing!
Afterwards, we ALL went to Applebee's. That was a lot of fun. All the adults and a boatload of kids...6 in all, including newcomers Noah and Abby (Amber's kids).
It's amazing to see the friendships in this group start to really "gel," see new people getting connected, and to see the spark of spiritual "hunger" start to emerge in different people... I hope others see this and that it excites them as much as it excites me.
KEY PHRASES OF THE DAY: "Look, there's the "stunt" baby." "Emma, unlike stuffed animals, you can actually break real cats." "But J-mo, you gave me your basket." "Holy smokes, that girl can sing!"
