Holy Week
Seems like I only get fired up and start posting when we're at war. As most Christians know, this is holy week. I've been pretty busy with various musical practices for the 4 different services we're having(2 down, 2 to go). First it's handbell practice, we've just started, but already showing potential. Then to choir practice where we had 7 songs to practice. I'm actually accompaning the choir with my trumpet on one of those songs so that adds a little trumpet practice. Then yesterday I played 'were you there' on my cornet for the good friday service @ noon. Combine that with 2 songs for sunrise service and you've got a busy Doc. I'm definately not complaining because I love being busy and it's where I feel called to be, but it does make for a little stretching of my time. My wife's best friend from Canada flew in last night so we'll also be entertaining. I dont know if I'm through toying with the site yet, I was thinking about changing the background color, but cant decide on one I like better (I darkened it, but it's still blue). I'd like to put together a few more slideshows, but not until I can figure out how to make it small but viewable to everyone. Truthfully, I was hoping it would be a hit and win me a little praise, but alas it flopped. ;-) Maybe next time.
This was sent to me today so thought I'd share:

Divx codec
You will need the divx codec to see the video below. To get it, click here divx codec. This is the trick to making a fully uncoded 1.2gig file into a 3.2 meg file. Just download it and install, that should do it (hopefully).
Freedom slideshow
This is my first try at making a slideshow so I hope it works, here's the link:
Freedom ps--- It's encoded in divx and mp3 for audio... file size is under 3.5 meg for bandwidth challenged, also you can right click and save. If you like it, pass it around (with reference to my site of course).
