Ministry and music

This morning was a precious time for me at church. The youth worship team led this morning. Six teenagers and one young adult led us so effectively into the presence of the Lord that quite a number of people came front for prayer during worship. I am always incredibly blessed when I see young people using their musical gifts for the Lord, but on top of that, I received prayer ministry for a change. So often as I am leading worship, I long for that chance, and this morning was the chance. As I said, it was a precious time.

After church there was a text message on my cell phone from Dick that he was able to get early boarding. He called around 2:45 to say he had just arrived in Tampa. He had gotten the very front seat where there is extra leg room. I haven't heard from him since, so I guess they're having a good time together down there.

My friend Katie Walton (from church) and her 9-yr.-old son Richard ate lunch with Destiny and I at the Country Kitchen. We had a good time. She said I should tell Dick to go away more often!!

I took a good nap this afternoon, then this evening Destiny and I picked up my friend Yvonne Devosa and her foster daughter Aleah and we went to Long's Park to hear the Count Basie Orchestra. It's a swing jazz orchestra. Destiny and Aleah kept occupied playing games on her cell phone and taking pictures with my camera. Yvonne and I enjoyed the music and watching the dancers and catching up on each others' lives. We're both music teachers, she at Ressurection Catholic in Lancaster, so this was probably our last outing for a while.

I gotta go take the trash to the curb. (I miss you, Dick!!)
