Making a Joyful Noise

Quiet moments at our house are few and far between and at any given time someone will be humming a tune, singing a little jingle, or belting out the lyrics from the theme song to Star Blazers (or Celine Dion's Theme from Titanic, or Journey's Separate Ways, you get the picture). In addition to the private concert we get every day, each spring the kids get to perform (a more "sacred" repertoire) at church with their choirs.
This year Joshua made his Praise Pals debut singing two songs with the three-year-old choir. About half way through the first song he got uncomfortable with his T-shirt tucked into his jeans and decided to fix that problem. His shirt was so long though that he really had to stretch and tug to get it untucked. He tugged so much that his shirt ended up almost over his head with entire belly exposed. All he needed now was to get his arms and head out and the "show" would be over. Luckily, he didn't get that far and Mama didn't have to crawl under the chair and pretend she didn't know that kid.
In her final year of Praise Pals, Lisa sang in the spring program entitled Love, Love, Love. While learning their songs, the kids learned about God's love and how they can show God's love to others. Of course the best part of singing in choir is the cake and goodies after the concert.
Linda's choir, Praise Kids, sang a program called Worship By Design. It included several skits and songs which focused on different ways to worship God. Her part was a fifties style song complete with poodle skirt (notice her shirt is not tucked in) and do-wop choreography.
