Can't Wait!!

When I was a kid, we used to gather around the radio to listen to Friday Night sing on Moody Radio. 91.9. Dixon Mills, AL. Our favorite guests to sing were Steven and Annie Chapman and the African Children's Choir. I was always so amazed by the Children's Choir - and how well they could keep it all together.

As you know, I'm kinda into choirs, so listening to the children as a child just captivated my attention.

The other day, I was riding down the road close to my house, and noticed a sign at one of the nearby churches. Much to my pure DELIGHT, I realized that the Watoto African's Children's Choir was coming to my little town of Bloomingdale, just a few streets down from where I live. I am absolutely over the moon about it. Not just because I am excited that I finally get to witness them in person, but because I get to share the sheer delight of taking my little girl and hopefully my niece to share in the moment. I plan to take lots of pictures - to savor the memory. It will definitely be a highlight for me that I will probably talk about for ages and ages. There's something about the fact that a bus full of orphans who have lost their parents to diseases such as AIDS and such like.......it just has the ability to affect me in ways that are unexplainable. I just love it.

So, just in case you are in the area reading this and would like to attend, the details are as follows: May 25th at 7:30, they will be at Westside Christian Church on Hwy 80 in Bloomingdale.
