Just a little something extra for my friends who attended The High Calling writing retreat. I think others might enjoy it too.
I know. I swore I was done writing about the retreat. Technically I'm not writing about it today; I'm posting a video. Not that I'm a legalist or anything.
Anyway. As I was standing around in the parking lot, waiting for my shuttle to the airport, I had a brief conversation with speaker Jeff Overstreet about his (and Kermit's) rendition of The Rainbow Connection. It was a moving performance about which the delightful Kelly Sauer wrote a thoughtful piece over at her place. During the conversation, Jeff mentioned an even more powerful song from The Muppet Movie. I'm just glad he didn't sing this one at the end of the retreat:
(On the road for a few days, leaving the beloved Swede to guard the castle. Digging into the archives and scheduling some posts my husband refers to as "filler." But you enjoy them anyway, right?)

I remember that song. Have fun on your trip. Filler from you is like brand new from anyone else. Seriously.
Hey, we have to have fun or we'll go crazy.
I have nothing deep to add but I wanted to say thank you for adding the video. I LOVE the Muppets :)
Have a wonderful time away. And I'm looking forward to your "filler."
Thank goodness. We all would have been crying. I loved Jeffrey's words at Laity. Sad I missed the worship service.
Thinking of you, Nancy. Hope your visit in Chicago was sweet.
Oh, I love the Muppet Movie. When I was little, all 12 of us cousins sang "The Rainbow Connection" at my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary party. Good memories.
Nancy, I DO love your "filler". Have a good trip.
Filler is just fine by me - hope your weekend is wonderful. Thanks for the video tears!
laughing out loud!
so darling... thanks for finding that. Hope you have a great time this weekend.
