This has been Vacation Bible School week - six days. I have been the music director which is hilarious because I can't sing, read music or any of those musical things. So, what I do is make big posters of the words to the songs, and stick in a CD. Then I jump around and dance like David, before the Throne of God. You see, I'm a firm believer that God loves to hear us praise Him, whether we meet human voice standards or not. So, that's what I tell the kids and they really have a great time. I wish you could hear them lifting thier voices in praise. I love it, so I know God does too.
But, I admit, that I am very tired. This week has been very full and I'm ready for Saturday morning when I can sleep late - at least until 7:00 a.m. You see, I am up at 5:00 a.m. every morning. So, on Saturday, if I sleep until 7 or (whoo hoo) 8:00 a.m. I feel like I'm really sleeping in.
I've got a new book that I'm looking forward to reading. I picked it up at the bookstore the other day. Other than that, I have no plans. I am so excited.

Oh, you can't do that! You say you picked up a book and then don't give us the title!
I'm volunteering for nursery duty at our VBS, in July for the week. WAY less frightening than music director. I would have to hope that children can't discern good singing from barely average singing. Or maybe you just turn the CD way up? Anyway, it sounds like a fun time! I can't imagine hearing lots of little voises in praise. How awesome that must be!
One of my favorite memories IN LIFE is when my mother and I attended a Living Proof Live event a few months ago. The acoustics in this place were phenomenal. When everyone sang we could hear this amazing chorus of ladies' voices in our ears and it just sounded like a choir of angels. It was so indescribably lovely and moving. I don't know why we all sounded so beautiful but I wonder if we always sound like that to God. Children's voices in praise must be about the most precious thing to his ears!
Haha! I agree with 'kittyhox' in regards to leaving out the book name :)
But I am still laughing at your reference to having no musical talent! And just making posters of the words to jump and dance to! How absolutely precious! I love that you aren't letting your 'reported' lack of gift keep you from bearing much fruit in Him! Love it love it love it :)
