Saturday Singing!!!!
I'm deciding what to sing on Saturday. It'll be a fun group, well-fed and warmed up. What will they be in the mood for? Something quaint? Something new? Something familiar? A debut?

A Hymn for Teddy's Baptism
Last night my friend Stacy called and wanted me to sing at Teddy's baptism.
YES! I said.
I want to sing a hymn and figure out how to make it come alive for the very humble and striving people who will be in attendance at the baptism.
"Come Follow Me" seemed like a good choice... I'd never realized it was a hymn about baptism, though there it was, listed under the topic of baptism in the hymnbook.
As I sang all 6 verses, I realized it was about following Jesus both now and in the eternities. I'd never thought before about how we'll be following Jesus into the eternities. Even as immortal beings, we'll still learning from Him and growing, becoming what He knows we can be.
Amazing. I hope Teddy liked it.

A Time Square New Year!!!
Things I learned at Time Square last night:
How to handle public smokers-- politely
How to make the best of a big, crowded situation-- be a little silly and plenty friendly
How to have fun with friends-- make movies while you wait
How to organize a Time Square New Year's gathering-- do it with a little more planning than we did
also:
Get a gig performing there so that you and all your friends will be treated as VIP's
Fly into New York well before Jan 31 so your body can acclimate, and sleep plenty before you go down to Time Square
Leave your luggage at home or find a home for it outside Time Square
Keep your umbrella down before the final moments or people might throw snowballs at you
Catch the fireworks in Central Park after the ball drops
Who's up for next year? We're going, we're going strong, and we're going prepared!!!!!!!
Happy New Year,
Lisa
