Shout to the Lord

I’ve never been much of an American Idol fan, though I do get some odd pleasure watching people make fools of themselves when they’re really bad.  Being in China has kept me further from this show, but I just saw this clip:

On network television.  Powerful.  It’s not too surprising that they changed one word in the song (Know which one?  It’s in the first verse - the first line, actually) and decided to follow it up with a closing gag like they did, but it was powerful, nonetheless.

Well, our crazy-but-fun weekend has come to an end.  We spent Saturday evening partying at the Crowne Plaza with our middle and high school students.

Dan spoke at fellowship on Sunday, possible for the last time.  It was a little overwhelming yesterday, hearing people sing and pray in different languages, and wondering when we’ll be part of such a vibrant and diverse community again.  I suppose it’s just something we’ll have to seek out.
