wish i could tell you what i've been working on

I've been busily preparing for next weekend's crop. (The make-and-take is a little more labor-intensive than usual.) I'll have a lot of fun links to share when I post this month's lesson.

The boys and I saw Peder Eide yesterday at an area church. If you ever have the opportunity to see him in person, you must! Not only will you be laughing your pants off, I guarantee he'll have you in tears as well. The lyrics from of one of our favorite tunes is below:

Moses was a stutterer

David was a murderer

Jeremiah suicidal

Naked in the street

Paul, he had a problem

The specifics left unsaid

Timothy had stomach aches

And Lazarus was dead

Samson was a long-haired

Arrongant womanizer

Rahab was scarlet corded

Lady of the street

John the Baptist eatin'

Bugs and honey on his bread

Gideon a scaredy cat

And Lazarus was dead

As is

As is

He chooses us as His

As His

As His

Infuses us as is

With never ending

Love transcending

All our weakness

No excuses

He uses us as is

Noah was a drunk man

Abraham an old man

Jacob was a liar man

Leah second best

Jonah should have followed God

But ran away instead

Martha was a worrywart

And Lazarus was dead

You can even get the lyrics on a t-shirt! Click HERE for details. Peder reminded us that God isn't waiting for us to get our acts together before using us for His work. We all have things we could be doing to help others right now. He specifically spoke about God's command to help the poor. Amazingly, every single Compassion packet he brought along was picked up and more than 80 children were sponsored. Very cool. If you're interested in learning more about sponsoring a child yourself, click HERE.

I have a mini session today with a reluctant model (so I hear). Hopefully, I'll have an image to two to share with you later! I'm off to take care of morning business...
