Last night we celebrated the Super Bowl with the Williamsons (Jr and Sr!). It was a blast. We did a lot more talking and laughing than watching, but it was really fun.
We went to the Williamson County Rec Center today to take the girls for a swim. OK, let me just say that 82 degrees may sound warm (that's how "warm" the water was), but brother, let me tell you--it aint. Maddie through chattering teeth said to me at one point, "I'm so exxxxccccciiitttted!" They had a blast. I lost about 156,987 brain cells from the frigid conditions. Sydney and Jack Williamson joined us, along with Sarah, of course. We all had a lot of fun. It made us even more ready for Summer!
We had dinner tonight at my mom's house. The girls always have a lot of fun over there. Maddie was introduced to the idea of a "sleepover" at Nonnie's. One day soon, we'll try it.
It's a really busy week. More praise team meetings, much planning left to do for Abilene, work on the upcoming recording, plus managing my time around the office. The thing that I don't like about weeks that are so busy coming into them is that I feel less able to be there for the emotional needs that seem to always rise up. With 70+ people involved in this ministry, there's always something going on. I just want to be able to be what I need to be this week and not lost in "tasks".
I pray your Monday was good. It's so rainy here. Makes me want to just crawl in bed and sleep or watch a movie for the rest of the week. Seriously...maybe I will!

what a nice problem to have. 70 members of the praise team ministry. maybe one day port city will have that problem.
i think that i would like to live in a city like nashville where there is such a great history of church. maybe even in franklin, where hallal has relocated.
i would have to choose which one of the churches to attend, instead of going to the one church that is not stuck in the mud here in LA.
Actually, it's a wonderful "problem". I have the most gifted people in my ministry. It's a blessing. However, being in the Bible belt and church saturated Nashville isn't the best thing. Where you have that you usually find the problems of being steeped in religion. We have a lot of that in Nashville. You also find people who have lost interest in the Church because they see how it's become a Garden Club or Kiwanis Club meeting to mosrt people...more of a social thing than a way of life. Ever place has its own issues. We're no different.
i can remember using the church as a social club myself. i'm not much better now, but i feel that i have grown enough to use it for what it is. a sanctuary. a place to worship God the Father with all my heart, and not worry about the person next to me not liking what i am or am not doing. i love praising God for all that He has done for me. however, i wish i could break my fear of rejection and share Him and His Son's gift with others. i wait for that day with open arms. i just need to take that next step, and do in my neighborhood what i have learned to do in worship at the church building.
