20 sept 2004 anno domini (during the year of our lord)

we played our first show on saturday-- at an assembly of God church in ann arbor-- we had little practice and it was th' first time me and bethra had ever played with psalters-- things went well tho- i beat on a very large drum and and prayed for God's spirit to cover us all- some people were horrified- some thought that it was a good show- one kid was blessed immensely- God had touched his heart and he was very thankful-- he talked to me after th' show with compassion and humility- and it made me long for those gifts even more- and it reminded me of what it's like to see a psalters show for th' first time and have God touch your heart- and i couldn't decide if i liked playing with th' psalters as much as i liked watching them play- and bethra felt th' same way- after th' show she said she feels like she got ripped off-- we came to a psalters show and all we got to see was the other band that played after us- but also it's an honor to be up there- to be a part of something important- something God initiated- something God led us into to make us grow in new ways- it's so good to be growing again, after feeling stagnant for so long- it's an honor to me, to be able to wear th' scarves- it's hard to explain, but it's like being given your priestly garments to wear- and being entrusted to honor God's name- God really trusts us ya know- i mean all of us, not just me and bethra- but all of us- and so i know that he will use us to better this world- and i know that he will use others to better us- i guess that's all for now-- thank you all friends of ours who support us and love us and we miss you friends of ours and we love you too cause God has shown us how important you are to us and how we can not be complete with out you- everyone of you who is our friend, you are our church and we appreciate you--
