- With this song we were trying to tie in with the theme of Valentine's Day along with a lead in to the passage we were talking about in I Pt. 3 which talks about the relationship between husbands and wives.

This was a good Sunday for us. The participation of our church was strong and we worked really hard to get some of the songs we did into singable keys. Unfortunately, most recorded songs are too high for the average worshipper and we feel strongly about making the worship accessible for everyone. Obviously, some high keys allow people to sing an octave lower, but it is something we try to pay attention to.

It was good to have Sara Smith co-worship leading. It was good to have her playing guitar, reading scripture and leading our congregation in worship. My prayer is that through our example of sharing leadership in the service, God will be planting seeds in young people's hearts in our church to be worship leaders.

It was a good weekend for us. I am really excited about what God is doing.
