Getting Ready

Baptists aren’t really “Lenten people” but our church family is preparing our hearts for Easter with this series.  Finding the 28 minutes a day for listening was challenging me.  So…..I’ve given up K-Love during drive time until I’ve finished hearing the New Testament.

Julia is sitting next to me right this minute, practicing the songs her choir plans to sing Palm Sunday.  This is her “I’m paying attention” face – because she is.  She takes her responsibilities seriously.

We met Julia four years ago today. She spoke - and sang - in Russian.   She didn’t know “family” and certainly not us personally.  She had no idea how long we had prepared, prayed, wept, saved, reorganized and planned to get her here, knowing God’s hand was it (but wanting human hands to move a whole lot faster.)  She had to leave everyone and everything she knew to leap into the unknown.   I believe her walking out of Children’s Home #47 with us was the single bravest act I’ve ever seen committed – anywhere at any time by anyone.

On Palm Sunday, she’ll led us in worship – in English.  And instead of her following us – we’ll follow her.

Just a moment ago, she began singing Chris Tomlin’s, “How Great Is Our God.”

How great is our God

Sing with me

How great is our God

And all will see

How great

How great

Is our God.

That’s right, Julia.

Get us ready for Easter.

Hallelujah!

What else is there to say?  Or sing?

That’s alto Rachel on the far left, harmonizing in the gray jacket – joining as an alumni, since she was graduated last year.
Merry Christmas!

I Saw Three Ships

Just a little musical interlude for you today – “I Saw Three Ships,” performed by the Reagan High School choir, including Lois.

I love Christmas music.  In fact – In 1994, Keith convinced me to abandon over-the-air TV for DISH because of its holiday music channel.  Pretty funny, since we both work on U-verse now.

Lois is top row, second from the right.  She was 15th chair region choir alto for Southeast Texas this year, too.

Tomorrow, it’s the children’s and youth choir at church leading worship.  And Monday night – Hannah in the Bush Middle School choir.

Gotta get my clapping hands ready!

Ho-Ho-Hip-Hop Christmas

Just a little number my homies and I choreographed.

Kanye West says it’s way better than that silly thang of  Beyonce’s.
