Day Fifty-Eight- 2/27/11 Try the Bagpipes and Ride my Bike into Church

Day Fifty-Eight: 2/27/11
New Thing: Try the bagpipes and ride my bike into church.         
Inspiration: Cheryl, 4 Baptisms, 4 Confirmations, St. David of Wales, Bishop Jack's Visit, new bike 
Cost: $0   
Time: All Morning and into the afternoon     
Bottom Line: Today was a beautiful day of fun and celebration of the Holy Spirit.

This is a lot harder then it looks.

Reflection: Today was a huge day in the life of Trinity! We welcomed Bishop Jack with four baptisms, four confirmations, and the bagpipe band in honor of the ceremony and St. David of Wales whose feast day in on Tuesday. This wonderful band blesses us with their music to have from time to time. It was a beautiful service.

Best friends on their way to Church.

One of our parishioners, Cheryl (who also helps out our Soup Kitchen and sings in the choir) also plays with the pipers. She very graciously let me try her set and helped me attempt to work the bellows. I was unprepared by how much force it took just to get a sound out of it, let alone achieving a note. She also taught me about the different parts of her uniform which included three knives and a fork for battle. Very cool!

I also took advantage of the weather and new bike and rode to and from work. I already enjoy the fresh air and exercise that it allows me without taking an hour.
