A Busy Sunday

Yesterday began at about 8:00 a.m. and ended at about 1:00 a.m. this morning.

It was a typical Sunday at church. But afterwards, we had a church board meeting, which was the first for Dorene and I after being recently elected to the board. Aside from voting out the pastor, it was uneventful. Okay, not really. We actually seemed to accomplish quite a bit in a short amount of time (as opposed to many meetings I've been a part of where you accomplish a little in a long time). We have a good group of board members and we both look forward to serving.

We scrambled home in time to let the dogs out and then came back to town. We went to a church across the street for a presentation of "Godspell," which was put on by none other than Huntington University (it still sounds weird to call it "university"). They did a great job. We took five of our youth and they all enjoyed it too.

"Godspell" has been around a long time, but it's an interchangeable production. If you've seen it before, this version may be a little different. Songs are mostly the same, but how they are presented can differ. For example, there are more modern day references to things like Dr. Phil and the cover art is lifted from American Idol. All the cast members (except for one that I found annoying) did a superb job. It's still touring this summer and I highly recommend it. The only downside is that I'm really beginning to feel old as I realized that it's conceivable cast members could be children of classmates I attended college with.

After the musical, we went back to our church and had pizza with the youth and talked about the musical and how it did (or didn't) stick to scripture. In actuality, it is pretty straight forward with scripture, just the presentation is unique.

We got home and it was time for Dorene and Anna to pack up. They headed out this morning for junior Bible camp in Fairmount, Indiana. They'll be there until Friday morning. Dorene is working in the kitchen all week. Cameron is spending today and tomorrow and Grandma and Grandpa Simpson's house. On Wednesday e'll be at our pastor's house during the day, then in the evening, I'll take him to Fort Wayne to be at Grandma and Grandpa Dennie's house. So, the little tyke is getting the tour this week.
