This is great!  We arrived for an overnight at my daughter’s at 5:00.  When we arrived I had a call about a funeral for Monday (Sheldon Elliott passed away today at 6:00 in the morning).  Pastor Bruce Dirk will speak, I’ll serve as M.C. and song leader.  After a few phone calls, we went out to get some pork chops, BBQed them (OK, my son-in-law Scott did the BBQing), set up their wireless internet and now we are just visiting.  This is the life!  Each part is a part that makes up a whole — and with God in it all, things are the way they should be!!

Today I  worked on a recording I’ve been doing with a friend.  He is now a senior and wanted to sing a few songs for his family and friends. 

I took my recording equipment to a piano.  Recorded the piano.  Took the equipment back home.  Recorded him singing to the music.  Two hours of piano recording, two hours to go over the vocals.  30 minutes of music altogether. 

This afternoon I sat down to balance the audio, master the CD, spin 12 copies off and make labels for the CDs.  I figure another four hours and things were done. 

The CD labeling was a new thing for me.  A friend had given me a software package a while back.  This was a great way to try it out.  In less than a 1/2 hour the software was installed and running.  The interface was familiar and printed labels were not long to the printer.

And that was some of the fun for today (besides watching an eavestroughing crew shape metal into a channel for our rainwater, visiting the hospital, writing a sermon and eating cheese and pickle sandwiches)!!

Tonight we sat with two young people.  They have a varied background and are looking for more.  More than addictions or friends or society can provide.  We are introducing them to Jesus. 

What fun!  To watch as a new concept or understanding lights up their faces. 

There really is something to this "pass it on" thing.  When we have a place to let others know the best news we’ve come across, then life takes on new excitement.

We’ll be together again over the next few weeks.  I look forward to seeing where this goes!!

Take a look at the view out our back window (OK, it’s the Kindersley Alliance Church back window view)!  The seniors housing is coming along well, despite a wind last Thursday that threatened to dismantle the whole building.  Today 28 of us sat down to eat lunch together with more than half of those being the construction crew.  They are great guys (and one gal)!
