I’m sitting here in front of the computer typing while Bri uses my arms as armrests and gleefully plays with the mouse buttons. Forgive me if there are a few typos!
My life could honestly be a Broadway musical these days.
I’ve discovered that my students will behave if I threaten them with my singing. So I’ve been bursting out in random song throughout the day. (Picture cheesy melodramatic versions of “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic). They cover their ears while begging for forgiveness. I’m so mean!
After school this week I’ve been staying for flagline practice. We have over 80 girls lined up to audition at the end of the week. They’ve been working on their two routines. The captains chose the music so my musical week has a little R&B mixed in too!
And at home, I’ve taken to singing to the Brimeister when I need my hands free. She is quite content to sit in her bouncy seat and listen to my renditions of favorite hymns and the occasional country song. She gets really excited when I look her in the eye and sing to her. It’s really sweet.
In my free time (insert sarcastic grin), I’ve been thinking about an idea for Bible Study curriculum. I want to write it myself. Each week would focus on the lyrics of a different song. Specifically, we would pull out the roots of contemporary Christian songs. I want to choose a different style each week. The main focus will be the words. Not so much the tune. I know certain songs will be preferred by each person and hopefully we will tackle at least one favorite for each person. I think I’ll begin the Bible Study with a bowl of potato salad and a printout of this post from Jeana at Days to Come!
