Fasting…not for me, or is it?

I just read a friend’s blog this morning. She always seems to inspire me to be better, do better, think better, serve better…just be better. She’s a worship leader like me. She’s had some hard times in that profession like me. She’s been in a place where the only survival was upon God’s wings (as [...]

Tuesday…some sense of normalcy

Sorry again for the distance of time between posts. No excuses…but busy-ness.
I guess none of you had any fantasic contraptions (except Adam) that you wanted to share. Either that or you’re cursing me under your breath for getting you addicted too. I actually just finished the last puzzle last night (Monday). Tough stuff. I may [...]

Pointless Post

A friend of mine, Adam, mentioned this crazy website in his Facebook status update. This is a great little game…but really has nothing to do with worship. Give it a shot.
You can click on save when you complete a mission. Copy the url of your contraptions and post them in a reply below. Let’s see [...]

My apologies

I have to say that I was proud of myself for being able to have several posts in a row last week. I felt like I had accomplished something by being more consistent with my posts. But, I do sincerely apologize to those of you who keep checking back here for any more posts. If excuses [...]

Another Sunday for the Books…

I really don’t like to have this feeling of “I’m really glad this Sunday is over…” You know, worship leaders or music ministers really don’t have it all together like we try to portray on Sundays – and that’s a huge statement since most of us are recovering perfectionists. We’re sinners just like you. We [...]

It’s Friday

Fridays are, for me, catch up days. I spend most Monday’s studying and preparing for Handel’s Messiah rehearsal (I conduct a 40-45 voice community chorus). Tuesday’s are for staff meetings and hospital visits if necessary. Wednesdays are spent in worship service planning and preparation (moving stuff, rehearsing my guitar licks, learning new songs, etc.) But [...]

What a genious…

I knew this…even before music school brainwashed me…but Bach was just simply a musical genious. I’m listening to his Mass in B Minor right now. I think his music is some of the purest worship ever conceived. I guess that’s why he signed every piece with “Soli Deo Gloria” – to God alone be the [...]

Take a breath…

It’s Wednesday. Sunday used to be the rough day with endless work to do, numerous fires to put out, multiple projects to be completed before a plethora of rehearsals. Now, our church has shifted to a Sunday morning service and a midweek service. That means prep for rehearsals and for a fully contemporary worship service [...]

Worry

Two friends of mine are dealing with totally different issues in their lives but have a similar struggle…worry.
When Jesus talks about the birds and the flowers being taken care of by God and that we should therefore steer clear of worry, I think He easily saw the pitfall of us all when faced with trials, [...]

A regular Monday morning…

In my short tenure as a faithful blogger (if you can call 3-5 posts a week faithful…), I have run across a handful of blogs that I read with every new post they make. Actually…I use Google Reader so I can go to one place for all the updates rather than 8 or 10 separate [...]
