The theme for the playback performace coming up on June 4th is "TOO BUSY FOR YOU! Life in Singapore"
I told that to our guest, Peter Schrock yesterday. He laughed.
"Now I get it!"
"Get what?"
He'd misunderstood my email responding to when he should come for a visit.
He read,
"JUNE 4 Playback performance: TOO BUSY FOR YOU!"
And thought to himself, "Too Busy for you? Hmm. Well, I guess I won't be going to Singapore in June!"
We've enjoyed his short visit in May, in the middle of crazy renovation, moving, Jim coming back from meetings in Malaysia.
Peter also serves with CRM and one of the things he does is take GREAT photos. So maybe soon, I'll have some good ones to post...He and his wife Jen are our first overnight guests in the new place. And there was a full moon to welcome them.

I love the section in the magazine that interviews an artist. What inspires them. How they got started. Advice. Great stuff.
Labor Day in Singapore
Today is a holiday in Singapore.
But last night, Loonni's Thai church had joined 3 other congregations for a special pre-LABOR DAY worship celebration. The Tamils, the Filipinos, and the Indonesians had all joined together for worship and a giant pot luck. She came home from church late last night and was like a teenager, she was so excited. She had participated in the worship service by performing a multi-cultural dance with 3 ladies from the other congregations. She'd gone early to have her hair done up, with fresh flowers, and someone helped her put on make-up. Someone from her church had also had a new dress made for her. A traditional THAI skirt and blouse; in pink with gold threads, her favourite colour.
When she showed us this special new outfit the night before she told us that this was the first THAI dress she'd ever owned. Bless her. She's 31.
"Now when I am asked to do something special for worship, like read scripture or take the offering, I can wear this!" she said. "I don't know how to explain it. To wear something like this dress for worship makes my heart feel like I'm showing God how much I love him."
We are so blessed to have her in our family.
