Amazingly, it turns out that my father and the brother closest to him in age didn't talk about girls. At all. That's crazy!

I've written the by-log for almost a year and I don't think there's been a time when it's been so neglected. I'm just dry.

Purpose, in my opinion.

Best-performed song: Invocation
Best lyric: And Can It Be
Most compelling moment: David's lead on that last, quiet chorus of the Stand In Awe medley.
Worst moment: a spot on the last chorus of Purpose
Best Ending: When I Lift Up My Head
Best arrangement: Invocation

Yea for one-word titles of songs.

Yea for the Pevensees.

About those Pevensees. There's a song by Chris Rice that has a line in it about these people and I never knew what he was talking about. "...reads just like the Pevensees, adventure..." That's the line. And you know who the Pevensees are? They're the original four children in The Chronicles of Narnia! Peter and Susan and I forget the others, Lucy maybe. What an adventure they had. It totally makes sense, too, in that song.

Nonny, nonny, odle-ay,
River washes over me.
Up for air and carries me away.
Nonny, nonny, odle-ie,
Run the earth and watch the sky,
Playing hard and waiting for the day...
