Jolene, your friend who is typing the lyrics might save a little time by getting them from www.cyberhymnal.org. But I always compare the words there with the ones in our hymnal. Sometimes they are a little different, and when I don't check them, it never fails that the blind folks end up singing something different than everybody else! (Helpful hint for sighted guys: this is easier to do with a screen reader, so you don't have to keep looking back and forth from the hymnal to your document on the computer. And I first copy and paste them into Notepad, and then copy and paste them into Word, because sometimes the format is a little funny if I just paste them directly into Word.)
Last summer, we went with a group from our church to help a church in Alaska with a Vacation Bible School and some other stuff. It was cool that the music guy could just give Bob the songs for the day on a memory stick which was immediately recognized by the mPower. So the BN contained his lesson notes, the music, the schedule for the week, the addresses and phone numbers of all of our team members and host homes, and the BN GPS got us around the teeming metropolis of Eagle River, Alaska and points beyond. But my favorite story (though the most embarrassing one!) is from several years ago when Bob's BN alarm went off in church. While I was trying to pretend I didn't know him, our son leaned over and said, "that's what you get for bringing your toys to church, Dad!"
