Here we go again!


Okay. This is the view from Fran's window of the Westminster Presbyterian Church. All she has to do is hop out the window with a parachute... or just climb down on a rope ladder and hop across the street. Luckily she has an elevator at her disposal.

As you can see it is a huge church that stretches the entire block. The towers on the far side are cut off a bit, but that part is the original church and then it just grew. Awesome.

We went to choir practise last night. Nice to get back to my routine. We have been joined by some other singers, and the group is a respectable size again. I think choir practise is the most fun thing. Sing away with abandon. It is fun to sing at church services, too, but we have lots of fun and jokes at practise. We kid around and give each other a hard time. Great. Of course, the size of our choir is minute compared to the size of the choir at Fran's Presbyterian church. I'm sure they had more than 100 singers (close to 200) and a fantabulous pipe organ. Just imagine all of the Christian churches around the world... and all of the people singing praise to God. Large or small. Rural or Urban. Wow. (By the way, should it be practise or practice?) Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Flakes of snow here today. Harbinger of those to come. Hopefully it will wait a bit. Another picture tomorrow, if the machinery permits! Take care.

Great blog mom, you can imagine a couple hundred Maasae girls also singing to God! It is a beautiful sound!

Yes that is the church that I thought it was when you chatted about it! Almost done with harvest which means back to the gym!

Thanks for the picture from Fran's window. I have longed for a picture to see what it looks like!

Yes, karen L if you're not careful those Carribeau Granola bars can delete any progress at the gym, so you better come join us!!! Then you can see Vicki's new haircut she got this morning!

Practise is the Brit's way.
And I don't think it is more than a hundred chorists....Love the photo.
