Hey, whatcha Gonna Do, Ms. Jones?

  We are in the middle of the longest stretch of driving Ian, Emily and I will have all summer.  We just finished working at the Ashland Kroc Center yesterday and headed out this morning for our Boston Kroc Center performance to be held tomorrow evening.  I love Boston!  Or Beantown as my Aunt Carolyn so lovingly calls it; as do many other native Bostonians.  After tomorrow night's performance, we are getting a day and a half break!!  Yipeee!! In Boston!!! Sign me up!  The only thing that looks bad for us is this dreadful heat wave.  Lord make is stop!!  Oh well, we will try to enjoy that wonderful city with 104 degree weather or not.

The Ashland performance went very well last night.  They put us in the paper the day of the show and the article was great! Except that now the team likes to call me Ms. Jones.  If you know me at all, you know that's not my name, but now the town of Ashland thinks it is.  Haha!
The Kroc Center kids did a wonderful job.  You should have seen Taylor (a.k.a. Joseph) standing there in his bright coat with all of these kids surrounding him singing, "Any Dream will do".  The picture was just beautiful!  The rest of the CAST stood with the kids singing and then at the end of the song danced off stage with them.  It was so enjoyable to watch.  Everyone seemed like they were having a blast.  While the kids sang, I saw one little boy in the front of the stage who was so excited to be singing he mimed playing the drums with our drummer, Aaron.

I have to tell you that the people in Ashland, OH are wonderful!  The kids are wonderful, the staff is wonderful and if you ever get to meet the nice lady in the big grey house who lives on center street, you will be blessed by God for the rest of your days.

Colossians 3:23 (NLT)

²³ Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
