Worship humor

I took this past week for continuing education, and attended the Worship and Music conference at Montreat. That ended on Friday, but built into my allowance is a Sunday. So I decided to visit the Jubilee community in Asheville. I had heard quite a bit about the place and its leader Howard Hanger and the worship. Libby's cousin Martha attends there, and Andy who plays bass at BMPCNC has a friend in the band at Jubilee. I'll likely review the experience on the church music blog later this week, but there was one humorous thing that tickled me. Howard was discussing trust and distrust and going after the Internet (as he should). He said there was "more crap per click" on the web than anywhere! That turn of phrase just struck me as funny while being fairly true also. Hope it does the same to you.

Cute baby (brother) alert


Calvin had a well-baby check-up today He weighs 15 pounds 9. He's got two lower teeth in front and has learned how to grab hold of Libby's hair and my shirts. He can roll over, but that only makes him mad because he can't do anything else (like crawl yet) once he's on his belly!

Play Set, part 2




I was able to add supports to the swing upright a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend I put the deck in and added the ladder and wall where hand holds will go, for a simulated rock wall. Tonight all three boys were trying everything out at the same time. Kind of cool.


The rail is kind of temporary; there will be one eventually, but I'm not certain yet of the height. It will provide support for upright slats that will block certain parts of walls for safety.
We're saving right now to buy about $100 worth of playset hardware from an online dealer: hand grips, the climbing wall hand holds, a big boy swing, a steering wheel and periscope. The play set is very popular even in its unfinished state. Neighbor boys up the street enjoy it as much as our trio.
FYI, Libby has not yet climbed up onto the deck. She's such a girl!
