For several years my DAOD has danced in it. This year, two danced for the "price" of one. The little one's starting to show a bit from the outside, and move furniture around on the inside.

Where I was last night ("Evening in December")
A large local church has, for 18 years, put on a bit of an extravaganza called "An Evening in December." It combines a play, songs, and dancing.

"Move furniture around"... ha ha ha.
Good for her, for dancing with the baby :0) Won't next Christmas be a new adventure?!
We have Tuba Christmas (husband) and two Messiah performances this weekend.

Oh, that's so great. Grr, I love Messiah performances, but don't know any around this Godforsaken wasteland. And you have TWO. Grr.
Dan, I am full of dumb. What is DAOD?
My word verification is "gaptoree." Wasn't that some kind of Genesis theory that was popular at DTS?
It's part of BibChr blog in-lingo.
DAOD = Dear And Only Daughter

Or you could fly up north, to the land of the Dutch Reformed and hear a group of about 80 volunteers, accepted without audition (*gasp!*), accompanied by a local chamber orchestra.
Not quite as professional, I'm sure, but wonderful.
What I love about performing with this capable-but-not-professional group is that they mean it.
I've heard Messiah performed absolutely wretchedly by over-ambitious church choirs. UGH. And I've heard it nearly perfectly from professionals, but it lacked something. You know... it's like they're reading someone else's mail, y'know?
It's still worth hearing, because the Lord's words are His words no matter whose mouth they come out of, but this is more fun :0)
Oh, yes. I've heard it a number of ways, never tire of it. One local production at a community college basically said, "If you know Messiah, and can half-sing, get up on stage." It was great!
Another smaller production in a little church, with heart - great!
Big one in a big church - great!
I guess I'm saying I just really, really love The Messiah, if done with any modicum of heart.
Did you sing? (At the community college)

If my friend finally decides to get back to me, we may be going to a Messiah sing-along soon....
(That's quite a shot of your DAOD, Dan. She doesn't look like she's with child at all!!) :)
I'm still chuckling at "move furniture around"! When the baby is just sliding the ottoman over a pinch, it's no big deal. It's when the baby starts deciding that the couch needs to be on the other side of the room that it gets all wonky. What a lovely photo, Dan! Prayers rising for DAOD and DAOGC.
Thanks, Rabbit! This isn't our OGC, but it is our DAOD's first; and we appreciate your prayers for both.
