Sunday night, Happy the Dog led worship for youth in the Pella area. It's a monthly worship held at Central College called Deep and Wide. We had a great turnout and a great time of worship together. Troy came down with his brother Eric, drummer Jason Baartman, and bassist Matt Groene.
I talked about trying to figure out transformers when you're a little kid and how them make the instructions WAY to hard. For example:
You can see in the upper right corner it says: Age 5+, but the instructions contain a small novel's worth of words in three different languages - complete with diagrams in varying shades of gray.
If you could read the note on the top left, it would read: Some parts are meant to detach when excessive force is used.
Some parts. That's always good to tell a five year old.
After the worship, the band and I played a little Eskimo poker. A game we made up which turned out to be pretty stinking fun. If you want, I'll teach you.
Someone posted a while back about posting more pics of Carson on the blog. Well . . . I apologize, but this blog is supposedly solely dedicated to information on speaking shows. But here's Andrea's blog where she writes and posts about our beautiful baby boy:

Heading to Sully at the end of January to do a poetry show. Then I head up to Rock Valley, IA for a fundraiser for former youth member Justin Bousema. I'm pretty excited for that show as the rest of the Happy the Dog crew will be joining me, and we're just going to have a rocking good time to hopefully raise some money for Justin.
Till next time,
