Sing to the Lord: Going to Church

I went to church today for the first time in quite a few months, and I was lucky enough to come on the Sunday where my pastor decided the congregation could choose all the songs.

So we flipped through the hymnal, wrote down our choices, and passed them forward.

Throughout the service, we probably sang a verse of over thirty different hymns. All of which I love. Singing with a chorus of other people (such as my dad, with his deep-throated harmonies, and even my slightly tone-deaf little sister with plenty of verve) is one of the things I missed about church.

Wahid: My First Blog Post


Wahid means "one" in Arabic. You know, that language that I spent a semester around but never quite learned?

Anyway, guess I should start this blog with a post, so people coming to the link don't get confused.

I have no plans on updating this blog daily, and I'm not sure, with me at a summer job then at school, that you would really want to hear about the daily grind.

But, I'm hoping there will be a few memorable moments to put down in here, as well as some things that spark my interest. Less biographical, more... something else.

Starting today, this blog will be like Frankenstein's monster: "It's alive!"
