My brother and I got the pleasure of leading worship in church today. I absolutely love it when we get to do this, but I’m not always “feeling it.” Today I was. Here is our set list:

• “Indescribable” – in a different key and a little more laid-back than the original since we only had an acoustic guitar
• “With Every Breath” – one of my all-time favorites, and one my voice is perfectly suited to
• “Awake My Soul” – my brother sang awesome harmonies
• “Doxology” – a classic

We got a lot of compliments which is so nice and encouraging, but not the reason we do it. I am trying to convince my brother to play with me once a month or so.

This afternoon was my sister-in-law Kim’s baby shower. She is due to produce a new Forbes boy sometime in January. It was fun to see a bunch of David’s relatives and to dote on baby gear. And Kim got me a perfect hostess gift:

Now I can avoid those coffee spills in style!

This evening I got a chance to tidy up the house, do laundry, and take care of some household business. I feel much better about starting the week when those things are done. Tomorrow is a 12-hour day, and when I come home I will be watching the Texans with my husband. I am okay with this, even though the Dancing With The Stars finale is on at the same time, because I have Tuesday off and I can just record it and watch it alone then.

It’s not quite 8 p.m., but I’m going to wrap this up and get ready for bed because that is the smart thing to do. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, and I’ll be back tomorrow with some more nonsense!
