Random-er Stuff
Hiya, everybody!
Not sure if Julie told you yet, but we went to a minor league game Friday afternoon - the Frederick Keys vs. the Salem Avalanche. The Keys get their name from Francis Scott Key road and Francis Scott Key stadium, which in turn derive their name from the relative of some city planner, I guess. Anyhoo, no one really made it past second until the 6th inning. It wound up tied at the bottom of the 9th, and then the Keys scored the winning run on a VERY questionable call, and both the coaches from Salem got up close in the ump's face - it reminded Julie and I of a couple of roosters squaring off :)
We got to see some lovely fireworks afterwards, but it was getting pretty chilly. Have you guys ever noticed that Julie gets cold sort of easily? Sheesh.
Julie (and the rest of our worship team, I suppose, and the church too) led us in "Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)". Chris Tomlin took some verses of Amazing Grace that ordinarily aren't sung in the hymn, but are still very beautiful, and put them to some slightly faster music. We both really liked it, and she's going to try to get ahold of the sheet music. Have you guys heard this?
Last night we watched a Bollywood movie - Bride and Prejudice (There is no life without wife!) - a really goofy movie with fantastically colorful sets and costumes, and the only Indian movie I have ever seen to incorporate a southern baptist choir into one of their musical numbers. I've never seen Pride and Prejudice (and I don't really want to, either, this may be my loss but it is one I am comfortable with) so Julie filled me in on who was who.
We both miss you guys, and Julie Really Really Really misses you, so I hope we get over to see you sometime soon.
And if Julie thinks it's pathetic to miss me, that's ok, it just makes me extra pathetic :)

It really wouldn't be so bad to give "Pride and Prejudice" a try. You might like it! Thanks for the post guys. It's always fun to hear from you.

Whoah! He updated!!!!:) If you think Julie gets cold, you haven't been around me very long.
I really, really, really, really, really miss you both.
Hey, if you get any rain, send some our way.
P.S. You have to watch "Pride and Prejudice", if for nothing else than to watch Mr. Collins proposal!

Okay, Peter, what's wrong with you? What exactly is there to like about Bride and Prejudice? Jeanette and I started it once and couldn't get past the first fifteen minutes. I've heard lots of people say they thought it was hilarious, but I was nearly bored to tears. lol Oh well, I suppose I'll have to forgive you for it.
And yes, "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" is one of my favorites. It really brings out the power of the words again. I think sometimes it can be easy to miss the meaning in hymns since we sing them so often. I love how these words bring the meaning out clearly again.
Great to see that you're still alive and kicking. :) Take care!

woah, woah Nessa! I liked it:-) I'll admit, it was a bit, ahem, dumb, but it was also really funny in a corny sort of way. Did you make it to the Mr. Collins character?

Wow! Jpete...I mean Peter posted! I will say though, that Pride and Prejudice is a good movie...but a word to the wise. Never watch the movie persuasion. It is awful! Well, anyway,hope to see ya' soon!
