Happy MP3 Day

MP3 sang in both morning services this morning. They did a fine job! Thirty 1st-6th graders sat handsomely in the loft shortly after 8 am. Impressive.

Sunday School was good. (Great lesson on talents and rewards)

MP3 in 11 o'clock service, then adult choir, and (naturally) this was my day to supervise a room of 4yr olds during the sermon. Landen was my helper dude. He's amazing with little kids. Jacob invited him over, so I dropped him off and headed home to meet up with Luke and the girls plus Amanda.

Philip was called out to work. (Naturally) This meant that after a brief nap, Mari and Ash had to be dragged to Christmas Musical Auditions with the rest of us MP3-er's. I rewarded them with the opportunity to "try-out". At the end, they each took a turn on the microphone. Ashli honestly did better than some of the older kids. Mari just stood there and swayed. She recieved a spirited ovation.

Auditions went well. I'm always so pleased when the kids volunteer to fight their fear in order to walk up on stage and sing a solo and recite scripture. It was a good time.
Finally, on a day dedicated primarily to MP3, it was time for rehearsal. It went MUCH better than last week. Big fun.

We came home and ate left over sloppy joes, and now several are watching the recorded Cowboy game. JW is house sitting, so we'll be just Johnsons this week. Sad times.

Thank You, Lord, for MP3. Thank You for making us for praise. Show us Your holiness so we can praise You more.
