Okay, I've had it with my alarm clock. It works fine on weekdays, when I need to go to work. But it invariably fails on Sunday mornings... as it did today. I sat bolt upright at 6:22 AM (having gone to bed early so I could get up and be at church by 6:30), thought "$@#&!!!!!" and leaped into the shower. I was in the car and on my way by 6:44, WITH makeup... [taking a bow]... Thank you, thank you very much. It wasn't without some damage, however, since I whacked the side of my face on the pointy corner of the car door as I was sliding in at a record pace. I thought, Ugh, that one'll leave a mark. It's still sore.
Today was baptism Sunday. It's unbelievable how many people this church is baptizing from this community and the surrounding area. The church is exploding exponentially. It's sooooo cool to be a part of a church that is ALIVE.
Isaac told us today at lunch that the next time the church is baptizing, he's ready to do it too. Interestingly, he isn't aware of this, but the next time FCC baptizes will be at the August 28th 10th-anniversary service, which is scheduled to be held at the high school football stadium and they expect upwards of a thousand in attendance. We're still talking to him to be absolutely sure he's fully cognizant of his decision (well, as fully cognizant as a five-year-old can be, which Jesus said was actually a pre-requisite for salvation -- faith like a little child, y'know), but he seems pretty sure of himself. That will mean all three of my little ones have professed Christ -- which makes me very, very grateful; it's what I've always prayed for them.
This is shaping up to be a somewhat hectic week. This weekend is Isaac & Alice's dance recital, but Thursday night and Friday night are both rehearsal nights. Thursday night is also SoulFire practice, which is beyond critical because our concert is coming up and we have SO MUCH work to do before then... thankfully the Purple Fish Family is pinch-hitting for me yet again that night. Friday night I'll be fine, but Thursday is just not do-able. Then Saturday is the BIG DAY; recitals at 1 PM and 5 PM. Alice is only in one of them, but Isaac's in BOTH because the younger girls' classes all have duplicates to keep class sizes more manageable.
Tomorrow night I'm scheduled to go back into the studio to polish up an intro that I mangled a little. The others didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but it pains me to listen to it so they're letting me take up some of the precious studio time to repair it if it's possible. If it's not possible to repair it, we're just going to drop the intro from the final final because it doesn't HAVE to be there. It's ear-candy, really, and not crucial to the song.
And if I don't go to bed RIGHT NOW, I will have a terrible time trying to wake up tomorrow morning.
