A Giveaway

Posted on May 27, 2011 by thebluehutch

Stephen Altrogge, a pastor at Sovereign Grace Church of Indiana, PA,  writes over at The Blazing Center and is having a little giveaway this week.  He has written a book and is giving away five copies.  Did you catch that title: The Greener Grass Conspiracy: Finding Contentment on Your Side of the Fence Seriously – isn’t that a great title? I follow his blog and he is hilarious, so I am eager to read the book for the things I’ll learn and for the style of writing that I know I will enjoy.

If you want to enter, just go here.  There is a little banner you click and it will walk you through four different ways to enter.  You can pick one way or participate with all four!

I Dig Karl Diggerness

Posted on May 27, 2011 by thebluehutch

When I worked at Berry College there was a little thang called “Karl and Hunter”.  Actually there were more of friends than a thang, but they were usually together and usually had guitars in their hands.  They made sweet music together, I tell you.  The times of worship we had were sweet indeed.

Last week I found myself wondering if there was cd out there.  Karl leads worship at a church in San Fransisco and I know he has always enjoyed putting old hymns to new tunes.  I jumped onto Facebook and saw that there is actually a cd coming out in a month or so!!!  City Hymns is the name and Karl is wrapping up the logistics necessary as we speak.

It’s a digital download, so even if you live in Asia you could easily get the CD!  You can pre-order your copy and help fund the project here:

Rain, Rain Go Away

Posted on May 27, 2011 by thebluehutch
The weather has been ridiculous.  I know, I don’t have to tell you since most of the country has been experiencing the same stuff or has been watching it on the TV.  We have  been alternating between tornadoes and just plain rain. The temperature highs have been anywhere from 88 to 51 over the past week.No one knows what to wear 🙂 and no one wants to wander too far from their basement.
The was the scene in KB’s room last weekend:

This little ready-made fort builder thing was a leftover at the yard sale in April.  Rebecca wasn’t going to take it home and so it was donated to the Blue Hutch instead of Goodwill.  It is only two pieces of fabric which are connected by elastic pieces and on each side and corner there are more elastic loops for attaching and creating the fort of your dreams.
I hung it up the other day and left for just moments.  Everyone squealed and decided to “take a nap in the tent”.

KB brought along every stuffed animal friend and had them take a nap too.

It’s funny – my brother and I built forts inside the house all the time growing up but it was NEVER for the purpose of taking a nap (that I can recall).  The bunk beds became ships on the high seas and the corner between the desk and dresser became the hideout from “the bad guys”.  If I had suggested us taking a nap, Andy would have slugged me in the arm.  KB suggested “a sleepover” and the other two yelled, “Let me get my pillow!” – almost in perfect unison.

Weird.
