Day 1 and 2 Stratton, Emo and Murillo

So far, the band has played three times in two days. They have done a great job.

The band has a great dynamic and I am impressed with the ways they work together, especially in the set-ups and take-downs.





This is all new to me and I am trying to take it all in!!!

Nate and I had a great conversation about some readings today and I thought I would place them here for others to ponder:

For from the greatness and beauty of created things
comes a corresponding perception of their Creator.

Yet these people are little to be blamed,
for perhaps they go astray
while seeking God and desiring to find him.

For while they live among his works, they keep searching,
and they trust in what they see, because the things that are seen are beautiful.

Yet again, not even they are to be excused;

for if they had the power to know so much
that they could investigate the world,
how did they fail to find sooner the Lord of these things?
- Wisdom of Solomon 13:5-9

"No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret that will not become known and come to light. They pay attention to how you listen; for those who have more, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem to have will be taken away."
-Luke 8:16-18


Also, as the band was playing tonight in Murillo, a banner was hanging behind them and it read:
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
-Psalm 19:14


A few highlights...
Day 1
We met Nate's dog (and roommates) in Warroad, Minnesota.
We ate great curly fries at a restaurant in Emo, ON.
We spent 2 hours in the US picking up Nate and shortening our drive from Otterburne, MB and Stratton, ON.
Johnny rolled out of the restaurant in Emo, ON.

Day 2
At lunch while the guys were playing frisbee, Eric missed and the frisbee hit his forehead.
Eric Broke a string on his guitar and knocked down his mic. But he handled it all very smoothly!
We missed a turn, but managed to find our way anyways.



That's it for now...
