Song of the Update

I dreamed I went to heaven
And you were there with me
We walked upon the streets of gold
Beside the crystal sea
We heard the angels singing
Then someone called your name.
We turned and saw a young man
He was smiling as he came
 
And he said, "Friend you may not know me now,"
Then he said, "But wait,
You used to teach my Sunday school
When I was only 8.
And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart."
 
*chorus*
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
 
Then another man stood before you
And said, "Remember the time
A missionary came to your church
And his pictures made you cry
You didn't have much money
But you gave it anyway
Jesus took the gift you gave 
And that's why I'm here today"
(chorus)
 
One by one they came
Far as the eye could see
Each life somehow touched 
By your generosity
Little things that you had done
Sacrifices made
Unnoticed on the earth 
In heaven, now proclaimed
 
I know up in heaven
You're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand 
And you stood before the Lord
He said, "My child look around you
Great is your reward."
(chorus 2x)

The band and the retreat

So I started off the semester taking a break from singing until I felt like I had classes and the dance concert under control.  There was one point at which I didn't know if I would rejoin the team, but I did.  And I'm very glad that I did. 

These past couple months have allowed me to get to know Theresa better and have allowed me to make some memories that, I hope, I'll keep forever.

This past weekend we played at a youth retreat at Cherry Run.  The last time we played there was two years ago and it was such a good time, both in fun and in worship.  And last time, I had to leave after Saturday night because my presence was requested elsewhere on Sunday morning.  This year, I got to stay the entire time, we had everyone there and Greg came back for Saturday night and Sunday morning.  In simple words we had a great time.  In other words, it's been awhile since I felt God's presence in a place that strong.  There was some REAL worship going on during this retreat.  The speaker for the weekend did a really good job and in the words of the great Brenda Dede, he definately stepped on my toes.  God is good.
