From the Inside Out

The two ALC co-ed softball teams battled each other tonight for bragging rights, and the “One Life” young married’s group came out to cheer their favorite teams.  Well, some cheered and others heckled gently.  The teams aren’t so good.  They are both winless in the league.  However, the good news is that one team was finally guaranteed a win tonight. 

The ‘Sluggers’ took the early lead in the game against the ‘Ballers’ (what kind of name is that for a church team anyway?).  Although the Ballers put forth a valiant effort in the final inning, the Slugger’s lead carried them through the game.  If I remember correctly, the final score was 16-5.  Yeah, I know…it wasn’t a close game, but it was lots of fun. 

Go ALC! 

After hours and hours of practice, it’s all over.  The ALC NOW (Night of Worship) event has come and gone.  All that’s left is my sore throat and some good memories. 

The night started with a set of upbeat songs.  My favorites were “Promises” and “Solid Rock“.  The second set of songs were designed to slow down the pace and let people enter into a deeper worship experience.  My favorites:  “Here In Your Presence“, “It is Well/At the Cross” medley, and “Savior King“.  Saviour King starts really slow (the verses are a bit boring), but I like the chorus and ending.

We had two groups of Worship Team (front line) singers tonight.  I was assigned to the second set of songs, so I started in the choir, then transitioned out front for the rest of the night. 

Afterwards, we headed to Ricardo’s for a late dinner (Pollo en Crema…yum) and then went home.  I’m still working on the script for pirates.  There’s no better motivation for a writer than an impending deadline.  It should be finished tomorrow — just in time for casting on Monday, whew!
