Front & Center

I had the great opportunity to perform at our church's first open mic night.  There were 6 of us.  The other 5 were super talented!  If I had known how awesome they all were going to be, I might not have agreed to do it.  Oh well, I did it and it was a good experience.    Here are videos of the 4 songs I did in the order I did them.  These are all songs I wrote.  It was very nice having Ryan and Chris play / sing with me!

 The rest of these shots are from Frederik Meijer Gardens.  We went there Monday with Maryedith and Dave.  I might be adding more pictures later.

We had a good time at the hayride, AND the gardens.  It is nice to be involved and to be doing things.

I've been ridiculously tired lately.  It could perhaps be because I am reducing my meds little by little, and my body is trying to adjust.  I'm not going to push it - just going to take it super slowly, and relying on God to heal me.

Psalm 103Of David.

103 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and all that is within me,
    bless his holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
    who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit,
    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good

    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Ryan and I have been learning all kinds of cool stuff about the earth, creation, NASA, the antarctica, electromagnetic pulses, grounding, the moon and sun, "gravity", and random Bible topics.  Having a blast with all the conversation and mind-boggling revelations.  It may appear to others that we are a bit wacky, but that's ok.  It's been an incredible journey and I'm so happy that I have Ryan to talk to about all this stuff!!  It's great to have a learning partner to bounce things off of, and to encourage each other.

Looks like he'll be able to work on my album soon.  It was actually supposed to start a couple of months ago, but things got delayed.  Hoping the delays will be removed very soon!  It's been a long time since I've recorded anything.
