Ashlyn’s sharing the well

5.5.10

Our church hosts a missions focused weekend every year called Share the Well (named after Caedmon’s Call’s song) which fell on March 25th this year. I was on the worship team for the first time since we had gotten home from China. I took Ashlyn with me for the preservice rehearsal as I often do. After the service and for the couple weeks since then, she has been singing the theme song, even asking me to help her practice and remember the words–I convinced her that recording her singing it would help her get it just right. Perhaps the reason she knows it so well is because we practiced this particular part about 100 times–just couldn’t get the rhythm right. Ashlyn seems to get it just fine–all she’s missing is some African bongos! My favorite part is her smile at the end–and the unrecorded conversation we had about what it means to have a living well that “ain’t ever running dry.”

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
