I've once again updated the list of music that we're doing at the church. Certainly not an exhaustive list, and I've got some new things brewing with some tunes that are coming out . . .

We took our 6 year-old to "Evan Almighty." I've already said that I think it's pretty cool how the director probably caught the insanity of God wanting Noah to build an ark. It hadn't ever rained on the earth, and Noah was building a huge boat . . . Anyway, at the climax of the movie - the part right where the bad guy (John Goodman) is yelling at Evan, and you don't know if it's going to rain, or not, and whether or not Even will just end up looking like a nut - she leans down and grabs…
