More Adventures in Internet Procurement
I apologize if this blog seems to be more about a
grand quest for internet instead of the Grand Tour
itself, but it's hard to talk about anything without it.
It's the aqua vita for bloggers, I guess. This
morning we participated in a service at Akron
Mennonite Church, which went wonderfully. Each
time we perform for a congregation, I am reminded
how great a blessing it is to share our message
with other Christians, and the speaker highlighted
this evangelistic aspect in his sermon. The
congregation really opened their arms and made us
feel welcome (but what may have been more
welcome was the table full of desserts!) Most of the
women agree that the most powerful concert of the
tour so far was our concert at Forest Hills
Mennonite Church. Before each concert, we have a
time of devotion, and tonight Kimberly Glick led us
with a particularly moving subject. Emotions ran
high right before the concert, and I believe this led
to a more impassioned performance. Many people
in both the audience and the choir were in tears at
the end of "Khudaya", and we received a standing
ovation at the end. Tomorrow looks like an
incredibly busy day, with three performances and
traveling to boot. Prayers for maintaining sanity
would be much appreciated.
