misc.

So guess who called me? None other than Simon and Rebecca Baum. It was really good to hear from them. It has been a long while. They are doing very well. In fact, they are going on vacation.

In other news, I played for a wedding today. It was very nice. And I manged well enough. I haven't been feeling well lately, so God has supplied grace as always. I am most thankful that the auditorium was cool today for the service. During the rehearsal (which was way too long), it was very hot. I could hardly breathe, and I really thought I was going to have leave. It was cooler outside in the 91 degree weather. But really, it was a nice ceremony.

In other news, since I like to go out of chronological order: Wednesday night at our prayer meeting a small group sang. Between the 7 of us we manged four-part (mixed) harmony. Now, for a church as small as ours it was a feat. Praise God. And I am looking forward to more singing in harmony -- literally. I thank God once again, for bringing musicians to the assembly. I've been waiting...hmm...wow. I think this has been on my prayer list for 10 years.

I'm going back to Duke in the middle of September. Pray, pray, pray that they will schedule the trial. God's will be done.

One last thing...I got my CD today. My "free" CD. It works beautifully, although I had a little trouble installing it over the intranet.
I am refering to this CD.
I have used QuickVerse for years and years, so I was very excited to be getting 7 (not even their latest version, but), I've been using 3 for all this time. Plus, all these books. Now, I know some of this stuff you can get right off the internet. But I really like having it right there on my computer. And so far it seems very nice. I really love the language tools (Greek, Hebrew lexicons, Strong's, voice, tense, mood, etc.).

The first CD is "free" in that you have to pay for shipping, which is $7ish. You can purchase other cds too. Plus, if you get the "free" CD you can get other "free" offers that last up two 2 years.

So far, this seems like a good deal, even if you only get the "free" ones.
