I had a thought today during worship that has seemed to haunt me all day long. I wonder what difference it all made. The songs were rehearsed, sermon prepared, and video cued. 200+ people came in, had a “great” service, and 200+ people left. From all the technical aspects it went fine.
I am sure there [...]

This morning many of you went to a worship service somewhere. My question is what will be different about you tomorrow because of something you heard, sung, saw, or did in worship?

Tonight I was watching the weather channel and when the asked for feedback they did not give an email address to send a response to or a number to send a text to. Instead they asked viewers to twitter their responses in. So that got me to thinking. Would twitter replace email? What about text [...]

Since I was taking piano lessons at an early age, I have never really liked being told what to play by a piece of sheet music. I always tended to just sit down and play the melodies that came from my head. In college, as an effort to try and develop my improvising I began [...]

It was Easter Sunday this week and we were ready for anything. Well not the dark cloudy skies, incessant rain and tornado warning. Other than that we were ready. The rain probably kept some people from coming to church but we still had a great crowd.
We did something a little different, at least for us, [...]

I have been told never to pray for patience. So I didn’t. However it seems that I chose two projects today that are conspiring to teach it to me whether I prayed for it or not.
