Salute to the Armed Forces

I am singing on the praise team Sunday, and of course, it's Memorial Day weekend and we are doing all kinds of patriotic music. As we were pounding out notes while the choir was practicing separately in the sanctuary, I found myself making snide remarks about having to learn all this hard music, after all, I'm a "fly by the seat of your pants" singer. I don't like to be confined to what's on the page. After an attitude check from our praise & worship leader, I remembered why we are doing these songs to start with. Hundreds of thousands of men & women gave their lives or put their lives on the line so that I can have the freedoms that I have, though I wonder lately how much freedoms we as Christians are going to have before too long. The least I can do for these brave people is take the time to learn my music so that they can be honored. So, I sucked it up, and for the first time, I brought my music home from choir, and Josh & I are going to pound the notes out until I get them.

Once again, this is God teaching me to be faithful in the small things. He has given me such huge visions for what He has created me & my family to do, but He always finds little ways to remind me about the importance of faithfulness no matter how big or small the task it.

So........Salute the Armed Forces this weekend!!! They've done more than enough to deserve it.

Here I Am!!

Well, it's summer!!! With my students gone, I have more time for stuff like this (especially if my husband can do it when he barely emails me one word emails all year!!).
