Today Ashlyn participated in her first dance recital! She did awesome. And, next Saturday, Mikayla will dance as an angel in LDT's version of "The Nutcracker". We have a heck of a week in front of us...rehearsals almost every night...
In other news, we finally decked out the house for Christmas. We got a smaller tree this year (on accident); turns out I'm liking the ease of decorating one that's not so massive. Now if only I could knock out the shopping part just as fast..
I'm going to a fondue get-together with a couple friends tomorrow night...should be fun.
I'm helping lead worship twice this week.
Josh has a choir concert on Thursday.
I think Tuesday is the only night I don't have anything planned.
Also, another reason I haven't been blogging as much is because I've been trying to read more, usually just before I go to sleep, which is the only time I had before to blog. A friend lent me Blue Like Jazz, by Donald Miller, and Velvet Elvis, by Rob Bell (yes, I know I'm a little behind in the times!!..). I'm halfway through Velvet Elvis right now and really appreciating Rob's perspective...mostly...
One thing that stuck out to me was his knowledge of biblical history and how he set the scene for circumstances that happened in the bible by filling the reader in on the the background of Jewish history and how it relates to Jesus and his role as a Jewish rabbi. It's all very interesting and informative and leads to a deeper understanding of why Jesus did some of the things he did and the implications of his actions. I don't know how else to explain it, other than to tell you to read the book yourself.
