Karaoke Anyone?

As Blake pursues his dream of becoming a famous country music star, we've started performing karaoke here at the house. We downloaded some karaoke software, but unfortunately we've only purchased one song. It's by Randy Travis and let's just say, I'm getting a little tired of it. We're thinking of having a karaoke party, but we'll probably need more than just the one song. Otherwise, it would be a really odd party. People would leave.

Oh - that reminds me of the time we used a karaoke machine at a women's ministry event at church and someone got the bright idea to let the women sing toward the end of the event. Have you ever been so completely traumatized that all you could do was smile and cry at the same time? Somewhere near the end of the 2nd verse of a performance of Stevie Nix's "Gypsy", I finally caught the eye of a fellow women's ministry leader. She had the same look on her face, but she was able to move her feet. She put a stop to the sacrilege, and all was well. Every time I hear that song, I start to giggle thinking about "Gypsy" being performed in Hope's sanctuary. To be honest - the girl that was singing was awesome - total rock star! Anywhere else...just not in the church. My Southern Baptist roots run deep.

Remember, always keep a song in your heart - it's karaoke for the voices in your head.
