This Sunday we had a special treat, Shilah Phillips, Miss Texas, came to sing for us. She first sang His Eye Is On The Sparrow, then a little later, The Battle Of The Lord. Her singing those, meant as PRAISE TO GOD, was a great treat for me! She sings really good, and she is loud.
Then during the offering Shilah, the Sanctuary Choir, and the Church Orchestra, together did There Will Come A Day with What A Day That Will Be.
I stayed over for the music of the second service and got to hear it all twice. I usually do that so it wasn't too unusual. Mrs. Jim plays viola in the orchestra for both services, they leave before the sermon at the second service.
That's what I do too, but just listen and not play an instrument or sing in the choir.

Shilah began the beauty pageant phase of her life at Frisco, Texas, where she won the Miss Frisco title. She then entered and won the Miss Texas, 2006, contest. She followed that in January, 2007, by becoming the First Runner Up of the Miss U.S.A. contest. Go here to see her in her tiara and here for a short Wikipedia article. **

You and Mrs.Jim sure do trust the Lord in everything and that is so nice to see!
I might have to borrow the two "A"s in the next couple of days but I am sure that they won't mind visiting Bernie and Shopper and me again here in wet Canada.
I am going to gather up Vincent and Turtle and Jammie's kids and the rest of the gang, so they will have lots of fun.
Adi might have to wear her hat again.
