A Weekend/Finger Update

I think I'll always remember Easter '07. There were some standout moments, but I'm pretty sure that losing the fingertip will be a marker that I remember forever.

This weekend was a good one, for the most part. I am working through a cold, so that added to the discomfort level. That seems kind of trivial, but there it is.

I quit taking the vicodin last Thursday, and Friday/Saturday were tough. I guess my body liked the vic more than I knew, because I had a ferocious headache and body pains for most of Friday and Saturday. Could the meds (or lack thereof) do that?

We hung out with Kim's family in Bedford Friday afternoon. Cousins are so much fun, and Easter is a great excuse to load up on sugar! We had fun hiding plastic eggs around the big room. I laid low around the house Saturday (I slept a good portion of the day!), and got geared up for a full-on celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ with the good folks at our church.

It's the first Easter I can remember since moving to SC that I haven't led worship. I did sing on one of the songs. It was weird not having a guitar in front of me. I didn't know what to do with my hands!

Last night at House Party we talked about the effects of Easter, how people's lives were transformed by the power of God, the touch of Christ, the Holy Spirit...There were some great stories shared. God is working in the lives of students all over the place. Scott Mangene (talk about a transformation story!) led worship for us, and I jumped in to play bass. I thought it went rather well, and the bass is definitely easier to play than the acoustic. Hmm, I might be a bass player!

Pictures of the finger will be up later. It looks a little better every day. It's rounding out and the dried blood is working its way off. I guess it'll be sensitive to the cold for quite some time. Oh well...
