Home... and off again!

Hello, friends. We are safely home from Texas. I was hoping to blog again while there, but we didn't have internet access the last few days of the trip. It's funny how dependent we get on something that was barely in exisitence 10 years ago! Anyway, the CR weekend at VLC went very well. I sang for church Sunday morning. It was the first time I've done a song that I had written as a "special". Dave made us some CD tracks to use befor we left. It's funny getting up and singing something you created - it's a little vulnerable. Honestly, it was like one of those dreams where you discover you're at school naked! Not to fear -- I did remember to dress that morning! Doing songs others have written feels "safer", but life's too short to take the safe road all of the time.

We moved on to Houston to see friends Mike and Shari May and Doug Stringer (I really must learn how to do links on my blog. You can see their profiles at our site www.chainreaction.be if you click on T.E.A.M.) We went to the Kemah boardwalk for food and fun carnival games (Micah won a basketball). Wednesday afternoon, we began the vacation part of the trip by heading to Galveston Island. It was the first legitimate "do nothing but relax" that we've had since the day we went to Disneyworld last February. We flew kites on the beach, collected shells, ate, shopped in the historic area, and, aside from a little sibling fuss-alry, had an all-around fabulous time. We arrived safely home last (Friday) night. I took tons of pictures that I'll share as soon as I can get them on my computer.

Off again. This time to nearby York, PA. I'm leading worship at Cityview Church and we're enjoying Easter dinner with the Kopps -- good people. More soon.

To create a link:

1. Highlight the text you want to link.
2. Press the icon that looks like a chain.
3. Type the web address into the dialogue window that opens and hit enter.

Done. Easy as 1-2-3.

Thanks, J. I'll mess with it.

You rock!
