Picture This

I finally got pictures off my camera and onto my portable hard drive, so this afternoon's post will mostly be pictures of my recent journeys.

Four of the six interns, five if you count me behind the camera. I love our group, it's wonderful. At times, we are seven years old. We spend a lot of time laughing, which is wonderful.

This is six members of the wonderful cast I get to work with this summer. We spent Saturday at the park promoting our show, "We Ain't the Huxtables." Six and a half hours in the hot sun, hanging out, doing frozen image work to draw attention, dancing, having a blast. I am blessed with this cast.

They were all very impressed when I did the electric slide with them. I told them we do the electric slide in Nebraska, but usually to country songs. Can't say I'm very good at it, but I do know how to. :)

We did a lot of dancing Saturday. I thought this picture of Ramad with Vanessa's little cousin was adorable.

Church Under the Bridge, located under I-39 in Waco. This is where I spend Sunday mornings from 10:30ish to 12:30ish. It is a completely different experience from any other church I have ever been to.

The gentleman in the front is their "worship leader," and he is always up front, but doesn't do much leading. He is mentally disabled, but wanted to be a part of the band, so they gave him a little guitar and a mic they mute and let him go. He wanders around, shakes hands, prays over people, and worships God the way he knows how.

If you read far enough back or have been following my blog long enough, I mentioned Claude the first Sunday I was here. He leads us in "Jesus Loves Me" every week, and it is beautiful. His disability doesn't allow for him to do a lot of things, but singing to the Lord is not one of them.

That's our congregation -- a wide array of colors, back grounds, classes, economic standing, view points, and beliefs. It's a beautiful thing.

Until next time, picture this. :)
