Lost in Translation

Our worship team is constantly learning new songs and so is Brice, by proxy. He gets to hear the new song lots of times on the way to daycare in the mornings, and other times in the car. So it doesn't take long for him to catch onto the songs and start singing along. He loves music and he loves our worship band. I think he already wants to be like our 2 fantastic drummers, and it won't be long before they start teaching him.

So in the past 2 weeks our team has been learning "Prepare Ye the Way" off the new Michael W. Smith album. We added a second drum set and both drummers were playing away at rehearsal this past Sunday. Brice just watched in amazement and I saw him start to sing with us. At once I smiled because I knew the words he was singing were not the actual lyrics of the song, but he was praisin' God through every one of them.

Here's some of the original lyrics to "Prepare Ye the Way":
Prepare ye the way, prepare ye the way of the Lord!

Yeshua, You reign on high, Almighty God, Your love is like no other!

Now here's Brice's version:
Prepare ye the way, prepare ye the way of the Lord!

Yes you are, you rain on my, a mighty God your love is in the oven!

Kind of catchy, isn't it?! Now let's hope I don't sing those lyrics this Sunday and completely freak the worship team out!



Here's a little bit of someone's video from the live recording of the song.

Singing the Sermon

I found this interesting :)

At a Loss . . .

We just returned from a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with our families in North and South Carolina. It was a surprise visit that we successfully pulled off (no thanks to my big mouth) and we had a great time with everyone. My mom was shocked when Brice was at her door, ringing the doorbell and shouting "Surprise" and so was Billy's mom. I don't think we were ready for just how cold it was going to be and I was more thankful for our crazy Florida heat when we stepped off the plane here at home.

Brice didn't want to leave and he kept asking on the plane if Grandma was coming to our house (which she and Grandpa are for Christmas!) and he still doesn't understand the concept of time very well yet, so it was a constant question and answer session.

I think the cutest memory of the trip was Grandma teaching Brice the motions to "Awesome God" that her pre-school class had been learning at church. Brice just loved it and is still singing that song :)

The saddest part of the trip was that I didn't take any pictures. Oh I had good intentions. I HAD the camera WITH me. The battery WAS NOT CHARGED. Billy did get a few pictures before it died, so we will post those soon. You would think that I could plug the charger in the wall. NEVER DID IT. I think part of my brain shut down. It could have been the cold.

Yeah, that's what we'll blame it on. The cold ;-)
