on the road

Well, we're heading back to Boston this morning. We have until Thursday and then our concerts start up again. I hope to write my first draft of the final paper for my Theology or Prayer course before we have our next practice...
Fellow blogger Lisa attended our Princeton concert yesterday afternoon, so you'll have to look to her for a review. We couldn't hear a thing! (But I understand there were some problems with static involving our wireless mikes...) In all, the concerts really did bring something of Jesus to those who came. In some respects, what we do is a little silly. We're up there singing our hearts out, and the sisters in the front row (the more coordinated members of the group) are even doing dance steps! It would be ridiculous, if it weren't in some way an expression of being fully alive, and letting the story of Christmas involve our whole being--thus giving permission to our audience to also be "fools for Christ", even "dancing before the Ark of the Covenant" like David. Some of our sisters have great voices, but are too uncomfortable with the "performance" aspect of the concerts. If I thought too much about it, I might be too, but that is putting the emphasis in the wrong place.
Anyway, off we go!
