A doh! moment and then fun......

So first things first - its not a water gasket - its a water pump...... I keep calling it the wrong thing and I was doing so well in showing my knowledge of cars up til that last paragraph too. Needless to say this is my doh! moment for the week.

This past Friday my church, Oak Pointe, had what they called Drivefest. A combo of a drive-in, with the movie cars, and a festival. We had classic cars outside to look at, the food cooking and inside was the face painting, movie, bounce houses in the sanctuary/gym area among other things for the kids of all ages to do. we even had a rock climbing wall. But at 6 pm the rain hit and we were under a tornado warning so everything but the cars got moved inside. I had a blast working the last shift of face painting. One of the first things I painted was a spiderman face - it wasn't my best work, but he enjoyed it. Then I had a woman ask to be a dalmation puppy - a girl puppy. She kept me on my toes and it was a blast making her up. She also mentioned that she was taking a picture of it to put on her myspace page. And I realized later I should have asked her myspace address so I could see, since she came back and took some other pictures of me doing someone elses face.

Then today we went to service and it was just me and the girls as Mike was at out home church, South Lansing Christian Church, to do some wells and water samples after service for the new pole barn they are putting up. Well I latched onto the aunt on one of the girls friends and sat with her. Here I am thinking it was an off day for my singing and she told me I sang beautifully. Now I'm not great or anything, I'm a second soprano and was in the choir at SLCC. But every now and then I have good moments in singing where I just lose myself and it sounds good. Today must have been one of those days. But I am usually better in the crowd than by myself - or so I think. It also helps when I am really familiar with the songs we are singing. And today was like being at home - they were some of the favorites that were and are sung often at SLCC.

So after service she was trying to hook me up with and intro to one of our many gutarists at church to possibly join the choir at OPC. Well I'd been thinking about getting into one of the positions with the childrens ministry and the aunt was talking to the director of that ministry - because they are recruiting people heavily for the new school year. And wouldn't you know it she was talking me up as this amazing singer. So now I've been signed up as a possible worship leader for the kids. Long story short. LOL It'll be fun and I don't think they will be too critical of my voice when I have an off day.
