Turned out to be a good day. And just let me say... it was great playing with the band again.
We had a nice breakfast, an okay crowd, the music sounded awesome (to me), and I am sooooo glad to have Easter week in the can. Whew. It was also nice to see some of the newer people to church all excited as they brought friends and family for the first time. Kinda funny how it's always the newest people who get the most excited. I guess I haven't had a chance to rub off on them yet.
And it occurred to me... I think part of why I am scared to put another band together is because I don't think there's any way we could ever recreate what we had. I mean, these guys all showed up on a minimum of sleep, they probably hadn't played any of these songs (or maybe even heard them) for well over a year - maybe two, we just ran through them one time before breakfast, and it was like... they'd never been gone. We even had a new sound guy! And believe me, I freaking know church isn't about the Sunday morning thing (though I believe it is part of it), but when gathered in community to worship God, some times are just better than others. And this Easter morning was nice. Really nice.
We also had a nice lunch with the fam. It was a good day.

I couldn't get your blog to load last night ... was concerned. I'm glad that you are still writing. Perhaps down in observance?
MDH,
Well... yeah... it's a long story. What started out as a Good Friday observance with the 3 pm "silence" post kinda coincided with the meltdown I was going through and for awhile I set my blog to "private." I got a bit of a grip this morning and hesitantly stuck my feet back in.
I appreciate the concern. Take care.
So good to have you bloging again, missed your sarcastic humor! We still gotta work on that Ssrcastic version of the Gospel we talked about doing years ago!
Jesus is IT!
You're right - our band would be hard to even come close to and their quality is hard to describe -- but it sure was good yesterday. Nice to see the church so full and happy. It was a good Easter Sunday. Yep, we all got pretty freaked out when we couldn't get on your blog - must be serving a real purpose for us.
It's good to see you resurrected.
Rick,
What, me sarcastic? :)
Joan,
Sorry to freak you out. It WAS a good day. And especially so with you there too. :)
Grace,
Well, I might not feel resurrected and all, but it's nice to be missed. Thanks.
ha. i plotted several different ways that i could ask to be invited to your blog. i was a little freaked out too.
Carrie,
Well you could have just asked. But then... I guess you wouldn't have been my daughter if you had. ;)
