Am I Dreaming?

I have grown to look forward to Wednesday evenings.

Why?

Because I party hard, of course.

Not.

What I actually do is head to my church for handbell practice.

I played years and years ago when the kids were little and gave it up when we moved and my new churches didn’t utilize their bells.

My church’s new music director recently brought out the bells, and I am a happy girl.

He’s teaching us lots of stuff…music theory and such…and frying my brain in the process.

But, I’m having a blast.

We’ve recently begun working on The Old Rugged Cross and hope to have it ready by Easter.

Last night, Brad, the director, accompanied us on his guitar, and oh my word…it was lovely!!

When I got home, I went to YouTube and found this video…

Amazing, eh?

Oh, and check out the next video for an even more astounding performance.  My music director shared it with me after I shared the above video with him…

I don’t think we’re quite ready to do something like this (there are about 15 of us bell ringers), but perhaps…in the next twenty years…we will be.
