A HAM (I mean STAR!) is Born!!

One of my favorite memories as a child is when I was about 9 and was in our church's Easter Musical. One night on the way home from practice my mom and I were recapping our shining moments in the musical. She was giving me last minute stage direction and I remember saying to her, "Thanks mom, but I am just going to stay close to Jesus because everyone is watching him!" Although there is probably a deep theological message there, I think back on what a ham I was at 9 (and 34 really!)

Last night, these thoughts came back in my mind as Paige participated in her school's Spring Concert.

In the finale the entire school sang "We Are the People". It was a magical moment as the kids surrounded the auditorium to sing their song. But of course the only one I was interested in was Paige. I found her class and a very eager 7 year old attempting to get the attention of the rest of the audience.

One of the teachers kept moving her back a little but that little head kept coming around her classmates trying to steal the spotlight.

Click play to see what I mean. Notice the little head poking through at the end.
