A Good Day

Saturday, June 3, 2006 ranks up there as one of my best days. At right is a pic of The Jefferson Hunt playing at their graduation open house. My son, Isaac is singing and playing guitar; Graham Brown is on bass; and Aaron Barrientos is just out of sight on drums. If you click on the pic and enlarge it it is so cool - they're under our pavilion, and can you see the cross that sits atop our church in the background.

TJH played a great set. Maybe one of their best ever. It was a fantastic evening: good crowd, good food, good music. TJH played a couple songs first - so the "old" people could hear them and then leave. Isaac played the first one for me - Neil Young's "My, My, Hey, Hey" (or whichever the electric one is). Then Troy Harris did an acoustic set. Then one of those "screaming" bands played. I liked them though. Then The J. Hunt finished off the evening with a good mix of old and new; dance and jam.

The day started off pretty awesome too. The Jefferson Hunt led worship at Norwell's baccalaureate service. I had never seen Isaac lead worship before. That would have been enough in itself... but then, during the 'open mic' time - where the kids could say whatever they wanted - Isaac thanked Jane and I and said maybe someday we could do some kind of ministry together. Wow. I can't remember everything he said, but I can't imagine a father being any more proud.

What a good day. So far I haven't been too much of a blubbering idiot. But this week we move Carrie to Ohio, so there will be plenty of chances yet. Thank You, Lord, for blessing me so. As much of an emotional wreck as I am, life is really good right now.

Peace. Revolution.
