Our weekend in Idaho at the Lionel Hamptom Jazz Festival was terrific. We did see God in the big things and the small things.
To begin with as we drove across E. WA. Thurs nite we saw the eclipse of the moon. Clear,full and in totality. We may be looking at the next on
from the other side, but this was magnificent. Forgot
to stop and take a picture though. That was big.
The small was again to see how God has created music.
From 8 very small notes he has allowed us to create
an unlimited source of pure enjoyment. The highlight for us
was Morgan's 120 voice "jazz" choir. Jazz is really a misnomer
this choir repetoire was varied, dynamic, full of energy and very good.
Such as:
A guitar solo by Morgan that brought the house down.
A haunting rendition of Dante's "Inferno" that portrayed the agony,
eternity and emptiness of hell.
A masterful rendition of "Eternal Father, Strong to Save"
- a Christian could only respond with worship.
And lots of good Jazz with a little "Scat" thrown in.
Thanks to Jim and Marla and Scott and Marianne
for the evening tickets. For Adam and Jaime for giving us such kind hospitality, including their bed. It gives us
pleasure to see them doing so well in family, work
and church. For Morgan for
such great playing in the choir, band, jazz group performances.
We left right after church Sunday. Morgan has a great church family,
a dynamic pastor and a good group to grow in.
We got home at 5:30 praising Him for all the big and small
things and family times He provides for us.
