This one is for you, Mom.

Sing Song is over. Praise the Lord. If you came, I hope you enjoyed the show. If you didn't come, shame on you.... And if you haven't heard by now, the Streak is Over. The Kojies and Moonies broke the 6 year streak for EOX and GSP. But really, being on this side, I'm rooting for all the acts. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's true. I just want a good, competitive show that is entertaining to watch. And now for your viewing pleasure, the winners:


Kojie Bumble Bees





Galaxy Railroad Engineers

Bloggin' Blues

Well, its time for an update, but I don't have a lot to blog about. Don't get me wrong, life is crazy busy right now, but sometimes when things are crazy, it's that much harder to zero in on anything blogworthy. So here are some words that in some form or fashion apply to me right now: singsong, clothes/costuming, drama, travel, shopping, fatigue, sleepy, congested, busy, blessed. Does that count for an update?

So, I'll leave you with my deep thought for the day. I recently read something that I've been thinking about a lot lately... I can't remember where I read it or who said it (maybe it's one of your blogs). The more I thought about it the more it resonnated with me.

Do not seek to understand so you can believe, but
rather seek to believe so that you can understand.

I know belief doesn't necessarily tidy up all of our questions or lack of understanding in a cute litte box with a big bow, but I couldn't help but think of the words of Jesus, "Seek first his kindgom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you".
