How We Do Things 'round Here

Last Friday night there was a Home School Talent Show in the Sanctuary.

The kids were great. A lot of talent!!

Afterwards Bro. Tim said, "Bro. Lyndel! The exit signs are still covered up from the Passion Play."

We cover them up because

1. it's very difficult to exit out those doors with the set and

2. there's something wrong about watching the crucifixion with a big red EXIT sign

glowing in the background behind the cross.

"I'll go get a ladder."

"No. Just sit there on the rail and I'll carry you over and you can pull the cardboard off."

So I agreed. Bro. Tim and I always work so well together and always have a fun time!

So I got on Tim's shoulders and he carried me over to the "exit" sign.

TA DA! Got it.

I thought he would take me back to the rail.

Oh! Nope. He headed across to the other side!

He was hollerin' "Hold still!"

"Stop leaning!"

"Your tie is in my eyes! I can't see!"

I was just trying to stay balanced so I didn't fall off while he lumbered across the floor!

Almost to the other side.

Working on the other sign, hoping I don't fall and kill myself.

Bro. Tim is panting and I'm afraid he's about to have a stroke!

Got it! And he held me steady. (I thought he was going to drop me.)

Such strength!

Back to the rail.

Mission accomplished.

And now you know...

That's how we do thing 'round here!

Disciple Now on Hickory Point - the Fun Never Stops

We had a great group of guys at our house!

Started off expecting 11 nd a leader, then we added one or two one day and then all of the sudden it was 16 guys and Kevin as their fearless leader.

We've teased a lot about having to open the windows to air the house out after they left, but they were great! They had some great times of Bible study, played a lot of xbox and rock band and wii, ate a LOT of food, played football outside and didn't break anything, so it was all good!

We're already talking about wanting them all back next year!

A Bow the Knee Billboard Story

I met a couple this morning after the 9:00 worship service. They introduced themselves and then said that they had sung Bow the Knee at their church in Florida a few years ago. They moved to Clarksville last year and are actually members of another church, but they have been visiting our church the last few weeks. They said they saw one of our Bow the Knee billboards and decided to visit our church because of that. I told them that I didn't want to steal them away from their church, but that if they did ever decide to come to Hilldale that we would want them to sing in the choir.

By the way, today is day 11 of our countdown.

Tomorrow we will be sending out via snail mail a rehearsal schedule. We talked about this Saturday about how many of our choir don't get my e-mails. Some don't read the blog. (I know it's hard to believe.) And some only check their e-mail every other Thursday if it isn't raining.

If you have an e-mail/blog challenged friend in choir, make sure he or she knows about our rehearsal tomorrow night at 6:00 in the Sanctuary ( see yesterday's post ) - on stage. See you then!
