Something George Bush and I share...

... is an affection for the gospel singer Michael W Smith. Apparently Dubya really likes "Above all" (as do I.) We're singing that on Maundy Thursday.

I'm really pleased by the bone our choir director threw my way for Holy Thursday - Smith's "Open the Eyes of My Heart" is the song I'm getting to do the lead on. I really like simple and repetitive hymns, like the kind they sing at Taize. This song is like Taize, but with a bit more gospel kick to it. :-)
