Our son sang in church Sunday. It was his first time singing in public at all. He was terrified, but he did it anyway....that's why I'm so proud. Everyone really enjoyed it, even gave him a standing ovation. Thanks to all who were there and showed your support. The song, chosen by him, was one of his favorites from Veggie Tales. Folks, if you have little ones (even if you don't ;) ) and aren't familiar with Bob and Larry, you owe it to yourself to check them out. It's one of those shows that manages to be funny to kids and adults alike (I'm really convinced the creators are Monty Python fans....)

Les, our music minister, wrote this very kind note in the church bulletin.
"Our offertory, God is Bigger, today sung by seven- year old Riley, is a Christian response to the secular holiday of Halloween, which comes this Friday. In his preparation for singing for you today about the monsters in the closet, Riley has had to confront his own demons of fear and self-doubt. What you hear today is Riley's own testimony and a powerful message of hope and faith in a loving God who brings us through fearful times. "
