My Niece

Well my brother and his wife finally had their baby - a girl. There are now 6 girl granddaughters on my dad's side of the family between me, Matt and my stepbrother's kids. WOW thats a lot of pink. LOL

So I went to visit and to see my very first niece ever! And while I was there I found something out about my brother and sister-in-law.....they have been going to church. This was music to my ears. If you have read my story about how I became a Christian then you know that I was attending with my stepbrother. Well so was my brother for a short time, well as long as my stepbrother was taking us that is. But when he got married it was on outdoor ceremony with a female minister and I'm not sure what denomination. But we come from the Catholic background and his wife is from the Baptist background and they found one of the non-denom churches in the area to attend with family. So that is awesome and I am loving knowing that my brother will be in Heaven with me. He said it was a little weird. Kept waiting for the stand up, sit down, kneel, sing a hymn, etc. to occur and it didn't. But the music is more contemporary - which he claims is weird. I told him the service is better when it feels like you are at a concert. Or at least that is how I've been enjoying it lately. I love upbeat music that I can dance to at service. I'm not one to raise my hands in praise unless REALLY moved and neither is my brother. Must be the Catholic in us or something. I clap, was in the choir at my old church and tap my feet to the beat.

But needless to say I was very happy to hear that my brother is on his journey to the God too, with his wife and their new baby. It really made my day. :)
