GOFestAsia, June 6-10

These dancers will be performing every night for the plenary sessions. 7:30 Singapore Expo. Here's some video of their rehearsal. Rough, in a much smaller space than what they'll be using, but still very, very beautiful and worshipful. Lord bless them in these last days of rehearsing before the conference begins.



These gals are working in a space much smaller than the stage they'll use next week, and Don't have ample mirrors to really check for details as they work at unison. But there were no complaints. A sweet group of hard working dancers, a mix of professional and amateurs.



I hear some complaints from artists in Singapore that we don't have enough good training, or opportunities to grow. But I know that if we are feeling impoverished for inspiration, our brothers and sisters in neighboring countries are culturally destitute. We want to offer these little videos as a way to share virtually how art can be used in worship.

Finished it 2 weeks ago.

I was so jazzed about it, I read the extensive AUTHOR'S NOTE aloud to Jim. My son Cameron, who is 9, is reading it now. He's really loving it. The whole time I was reading it I kept thinking, "She's really inside the head of an 8 year old who's trying to figure out his world." Hope I don't mess up his head between fact and fiction on what we know to be true from the Gospels and the rest of the immaculate research she did.

DaVinci code opens here in 3 1/2 weeks, so I'm rejoicing that a BETTER author than Dan Brown looked into the conspiracy theories (and a lot of other theories) and found them severely lacking any evidence. NOW her intellectual brain has submitted to this Lord and hse is writing about it for all of her vampire following (and others to read). Yeah!
