Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!!!

I haven't done one of my typical "Sunday" posts in quite a while. A recap of today's morning worship merits a return to this tradition.

It's so nice when things just work, when everyone's cookin' along and the sound is good and the timing is right... not that every Sunday isn't fun, because I always have a good time worshipping, but not every Sunday is like a well-oiled machine and a par-TAY all at the same time. This morning was. Particularly the latest Jeff Arrandale original song, which we've been doing every Sunday this month in order to learn it. We usually do one "song-of-the-month" type deal because it seems to help people learn it AND it helps the instrumentalists get a good, solid feel for how the song is supposed to sound. I'm finally figuring out just exactly the patterns and rhythms I want to play as well as the timing of the vocals to match Jeff's; plus, the people know it now, and so they were all singing and rockin' the house.

I remember the very first Sunday I was ever in FCC, and besides the quality and talent level of the musicians, I remember being amazed at how the congregation freely and gladly sang and participated. It was refreshing. As I've stated before, I know my church isn't perfect. But I'm glad I'm in it, anyway.

The only thing that marred the day was the fact that Rick had to stay home with the kids because Isaac was puking and fever-y. I'm thinking it was another version of that norovirus thing, or perhaps a mild case of food poisoning. At any rate, he was better this evening, so I guess I'll send him to school tomorrow. I was waiting to see if I needed to call in, but thankfully I won't have to. Or maybe not so thankfully... I could sure use a day at home alone to try to get a handle on my laundry issues.

Either that, or a 24-hour personal assistant.
