*crickets*

Well I'm pretty sure nobody reads this space anymore but I plan to resurrect at least for the next week or so. I'm actually not going to pretend that I'll write here indefinitely, but I do have some writing I'd like to do in the short term, and I know there are a few people interested in it, so I plan to post it here.

Over the next few days (starting tomorrow), I plan to describe my experiences at The Ascending Voice symposium last week. In short, it was a wonderful week, rich with insight into other religious traditions who worship in an a cappella style. Great stuff!

Mostly I want to jot down the experiences I had as a way to process the whole week, but by posting it here I know a few folks will be able to read along to find out what the week was like.

In other news, we had a great evening of worship last night at Skyway Hills CofC. It's great to be able to share worship times with other groups of Christians. Experiencing God's presence with the folks at Skyway Hills, which we do a couple times a year, is always such a blessing. It's good to be with brothers and sisters.

Our family had a full day today. I'm off on Mondays, and since I was gone all last week, we had some good family time. We worked in the yard, played games, and hit the pool. Lots of fun.

Also, Sam, Dixie and I have joined "The Club", a local health club, so we can all have rock hard bodies pretty soon. Sam and I had a good workout today which always makes me feel good. It's so easy for me to sit around and be a blob. When I do exercise it makes such a difference.

I'll wrap it up today. Tune back in tomorrow to begin reading about The Ascending Voice.
