Handel's Messiah...

• Zac and I just got in from seeing Handel's Messiah. It. Was. Pretty. Great.


• Dad, there's two girls with violins, one boy with a violin and one girl with a shello.


• I kept praying one particular lady in the choir would step out front for the last chorus...


• The center seats 500 people. There might have been 20 empty seats.


• While warming up, the first violin kept playing I think Turkey In The Straw to make the second giggle.


• My German instructor Germany was named Herr Handel. I know we asked, but for the life of me I can't remember if he was related.


• It's been over 200 years since that oratorio was composed and interestingly, tonight's performance was as much as Handel intended as has ever been performed- a small orchestra and choir with the performance itself being as grand as it was simple.


• Good night world- wherever you are.


• Soli Deo Gloria
