Although I have been in various churches growing up (Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist) I found that I most enjoyed going to a Baptist church. A few issues have come to pass at the Baptist church that we attend. It seems that a few of the elders think that children should be seen and not heard, and unfortunately, that's not a help when you have three children in your family who are vocal.
Other issues that came up with our church was through the musical vision of the choir director and myself. I thoroughly enjoy music and I love to sing. I had joined the choir and the director asked me if I would like to sing in the service in a couple of weeks. So, excitedly, I said yes that I would. It so happened that I was sick one weekend and the next weekend, my family came in and we weren't able to go to church because they came in on Sunday morning. Needless to say, I got a phone call from the director of the choir that afternoon. He told me that although he really appreciated my voice within the choir, that he would not need my service for the next weekend. He went ahead and informed me that only the faithful of service would need to perform for the parish. It took me awhile to get over that, but I did, but I have not been in the choir now for awhile, and that really bothers me, because I do love to sing. :(
So... this weekend, we decided to try a new church. We tried the Church of Christ. It was decent enough.
I went to the golf course this afternoon. It was the 2nd time in my life that I've acutally been on a gold course. It was okay though. By the end of the 18th hole, I was pretty lit up though. From the first time that I went - I didn't think that I'd like it, but being able to drink and just chilling... it was okay. I did get a little sunburned though. That may not be a good thing though. I don't like being sunburned. I tend to just burn and not tan. :( Sucks.
Now, it's about 8 o'clock. We finished cutting up a deer and have enough meat now for awhile. It's really good meat too. I actually had a piece straight from the bone - tartar. :) Very nice meat though. Very very good. I can't wait to have some chicken fried steak with it. It's absolutely awesome as fried steak. Yumola.
I do think that I'm going to try to get a little bit of mixing done this evening. I don't know if I'll actually get any done or not. With my mother in town, spending the night, I don't think that I may be able to do so. She's on her way down to my great aunt's funeral on Tuesday in Rio Hondo.
Aunt Trudie - 102 years old. Wow. I know that she said that she wanted to be home two years ago, but I know that she's happy being home now. I know that there's a big family reunion going on and that I'm missing out on it. *grins* I just pray that her family will be okay with having her within their lives for so long.
Time I think to leave for tonight. I know that I may need to go ahead and get some stuff done. I must go ahead and get a substitute for tomorrow. Meghan's band (Burnet High School Band) is going to state competition and I know that that they are going to do good. :) I can't wait to see how they do.
