On this past Wednesday, she got a pretty cool present. Here’s Hannah with her boyfriend Ben…

Who, as of this past Wednesday, is now her fiancee Ben. He proposed while they’re both at a church camp near Macon, GA, where they’re serving as cabin leaders. Here’s a pic shortly after the proposal…and yes, that’s a ring on her finger. I’m still getting used to seeing it.

So, sometime in the next year or two, I’m going to have a son-in-law. Weird. Great, but weird. Yay, Ben and Hannah!!!

So, let’s break down what flickers across the cathode-ray tube and catches the Joseph’s attention:

NETWORK TELEVISION: Um…not much. I’m one of those weirdos that has never seen 24, Lost, Prison Break, Survivor, The Mole, The Amazing Race…all those “buzz” shows. Mainly because I’m never home when they’re on.
(And no, I can’t TiVo them. I don’t have a TiVo. That’s way up there on my “yeah, that ain’t gonna happen” list, along with a big screen TV and surround sound)
But we do watch:
The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson - He occasionally gets a bit crude, but I think this guy is really funny. And his approach to the traditional monologue is fresh.
The Local News
Star Trek reruns

So, that leaves…

CABLE TELEVISION: And the reason I love cable channels is that if you miss something, odds are they’re going to run it again soon. My channels of choice:

DISCOVERY CHANNEL - Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters are my favorites, followed closely by Cash Cab.

TLC - I’m a sucker for What Not To Wear. And I know there’s a real “love them or hate them” about Jon & Kate Plus 8, but we like to watch it.

Next week…the most surprising network of all, and why can’t I stay away from it?

What are your TV must-sees?

We used a small vocal ensemble (10 voices) to lead worship today, rather than individuals on microphones. I like the change in energy. Drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and two keyboards rounded out the praise team.

Our set (iTunes links where available):

Celebrate The Lord Of Love (Paul Baloche / Ed Kerr) - This is from Paul’s “Open The Eyes Of My Heart” CD. As a keyboard player, I enjoy the Bruce Hornsby feel of the arrangement.
A Thousand Hallelujahs (Mark Roach) - Seriously, have you not bought this CD yet? What are you waiting for?
How Great Is Our God (Chris Tomlin / Ed Cash / Jesse Reeves) - Every time we do this song, our congregation connects with it more and more.
Blessed (Darlene Zschech / Reuben Morgan) - Straight scripture, beautiful music.
The Kingdom Of God (Paul Baloche / Mia Fieldes / Kari Jobe) - I love this song…but there’s two 7/4 feels in the chorus of a 4/4 song, and every time the congregation is clapping along, the 7/4 shuts ‘em down. Oh well.

How was your Sunday?
