Doolittle did a lot

So Belinda Doolittle was voted off American Idol last night. Sad to see her go, but I must say that the top three are all deserving of their standing.

Belinda is an amazing singer and performer, but the really cool thing for me dawg is that Christ shone through her throughout the competition. In fact, it was great to have several committed Christians in the top ten and to observe the grace with which they handled themselves in the midst of what must be tremendous pressure. Of course Jordin is a strong believer and I'm guessing she'll end up in the top slot, but we'll see.

Who knows, maybe Blake will end up getting saved as a result of his close relationship with some good examples of genuine Christian faith. Wouldn't that be cool!

I'm looking forward to watching Belinda's career develop - as it's sure to do.

You go girl!

I keep doing that! I've had the hardest time calling her MMMMelinda. Funny, when I'm talking I'll edit myself before it leaves my lips, but when I'm writing...

We were able to get caught up after our trip, so we saw most of the other eliminations.
