What is this??? An Update??? ...indeed!

I know I said I wouldn't do this, but I want to direct everyone's attention to my new blog: the Puerto Rico Report. It is a pleonast blog dedicated to the work in Puerto Rico, and our efforts to move there to help in the work.

Thanks for visiting it! Recommend it to anyone who might be interested in the work, or might be able to help us in getting there.

    Actually I am on Grand Jury and we were scheduled to hear 118 cases. However, some of those were thrown out for various reasons. I am going to explain how the grand jury work on my blog for those who may not fully understand how grand jury performs.

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I am always amazed by your wisdom and maturity at such a young age. We desperately need more young people like you.

    lol yeah, one thing I would love about gold if I had it. No ads! Though they do make pretty funny contrasts to posts sometimes. I didn't really appreciate that one though.

    I kinda had a feeling you would agree with me. =) =P It really gets under my skin when people have nasty mouths like that.

    I DON'T want to go to UTC. I might possibly come home and finish up there, but I want to go some place different first. Tell me about FC. Was it worth it to you concerning eduction or would it have been better for you to go somewhere else?

    Ah, yes I thought you might enjoy that. =)

    Jeff said somethiong about how FC isn't very well known and it could be harder to find a job just because no one has ever heard of it. Do you think that could be a problem? I need to talk to you on the webcam or the phone. It would be a lot easier to talk about this.

    I was just reading his blog, and I happen to worship at a bilingual congregation that uses Cantos Espirituales. The English version of the hymn is "When This Passing World Is Done." Great hymn!
    The closest thing to the tune on Cyber Hymnal is this.
    In "Praise for the Lord," the English hymn is #758. It lists the hymn tune as SPANISH HYMN, though the above link lists it as SPANISH CHANT.
    Hope that helps!

    I'm currently finishing up a BA in music at FC, and worship at the North Terrace church of Christ on 56th street. Our elders are Royce Chandler (we have a lot of Chandlers) and Daryl Mathis. I don't remember meeting your sisters off the top of my head... but I've been to a boatload of camps, so I very well may have. Nathan Lankford, Issac Muñoz, (friends form FC) and myself are all interested in Spanish work. Both of them have preached in Spanish (Isaac many times), and I've still got a ways to go in that regard. Good to hear of your involvement in the Lord's work there in San Juan! May He give rich increase there!

    I can play one of mairead nesbitts songs decently enough which is HUGE to me. It's actually a pretty simple song to learn by ear and play on the violin but just the fact that I can play a song that she did, while most of her work is so complex, is pretty cool. "Know what I mean Vern?"

    I'm bringing my ipod when I come to see you and Anna so you can listen to some more modern celtic if you want. I got the whole album and it's pretty cool!!!

    I have no idea where it came from originally. I got it from Becky Garrett when we saw her a few weeks ago. It amused me. It does sound like something Bill Walton would come up with though. =)

I'm only on here to see if I can get into the hymnist group, so to anyone who knows me or can figure out who I am, don't expect many updates about my life or anything...

    I mostly just watch the Alabama games. But since they are "idle" this week I was watching another game...or were they just replays? I don't know. I'm n ot familiar with how the whole thing works. I just watch when Dad has it on. I was also watching baseball tonight. The Rays vs. the Red Sox. For supper, we went to a pizza place and they had it on. =)
