In Nashville (Franklin, actually)

Been a bit of a whirlwind this month. My posted the news on Facebook several weeks ago so I assume everyone knows we have moved to Nashville as Shannon is the new children's minister at First Baptist Nashville. We are currently staying at the church's mission home in Franklin looking for permanent residence.

Ironically, now that we have moved from Orange Beach I should take some time to explain why we moved there in the first place. Given we are there only slightly less than 6 months and ultimately made a new move from Springfield of 30 miles south, it may seem like a mistake to move there. On the contrary, it was one of the best things we have done as a family, and our place in Nashville and Shannon's new job would not have been possible without doing so.

I will write more about that later. Today, I have a little boy upstairs who wants to play. Heading to my parents for Thanksgiving dinner later today, and Jacob will spend a few nights with his grandparents.

My Life as a Play: Jacob's Worship Song

Setting: Daddy is putting Jacob to bed. Jacob has longed like to make up songs, especially worship songs. They are always original, including never repeating the same line twice or in the same key. In fact, there is typically no discernible key or harmony or pitch. Just a worshipful heart. He gives Daddy an impromptu performance.


Jacob:

I love you God.
You made the whole world.
You took away the yucky from my heart.
You died for me on the cross.
You gave me a great family.
You made all the birds and animals.
You made the sweet sweet reindeer that carry Santa.
I love you.
