you are cordially invited

i probably haven't offered any solo song at my church in well over a month.  'twas just as well to me, since i was trying to send the spoiled child in me a message that "you can't always get your way".  so i've been trying to be as comfortable as possible in the background without pulling any stunts conscious or unconscious to draw attention to myself.  oh by the way, did i tell you that's one of my addictions?  so i've been feenin' quietly for weeks now and yay!  tonight, someone finally asked me to sing!  ok, so all is wonderful with the world, and i'm doin' the sunshine & lollipops thing again.  not that i couldn't have asked.  the door is always open.  still, there's something special about being entreated to come and dine as opposed to crashing uninvited and raising single disdainful eyebrows on each guest.  so anyway, that rocks.  however, if i'm about to get in front of God's folks, i need to go run and get on top of my game spiritually, vocally, and whatever otherwise.  'cause i hate not being confident when i get out there.  pray if you're listening.  peace.

by the way, i wasn't kidding. you really are cordially invited*.  i don't know what song i'm singing yet, but  if you're in the L.A. area, the church is called H.O.P.E.'s House, starts at 9:30am, the people actually love God and they aren't crazy.
