worship text-fessional for 01/20/08
So the last text-fessional in which I led worship was way back at the end of November. The major reason for this is that it’s been that long since i’ve led worship. We combined our Sr. High and Jr. High services, so Andy LaChance has been leading the worship portion of service. I am a fill in musician / leader whenever he [...]

Man that is a horrible title for a post…
Barnes and Noble has become a regular lunch stop of mine at some point during my work week. We’re all familiar with the layout… Row upon row of full stocked shelves interspersed with feature tables aptly titled… ”Family Christmas”, “New In Paperback”, “For Your Pet”
I pick a different section to browse on most weeks; poetry, classic literature, leadership, and even [...]

worship text-fessional for Sunday, November 25 2007 at Fuel student ministry’s Ignite Senior High service.
Last week (the 18th) was horrid. So I didn’t want to talk about it. Basically the volume in the house was changed from practice and while the stage sounded fine, the mains hummed / distorted the whole time. I was oblivious to it until the last song when it broke down to just [...]

Everytime I ask you for help, I am asking you for money. So far, i have sadly been let down. … However, that is to be expected because basically I was asking you to support my sports habits.
This time, though I will not ask you for money. I have winter break coming very soon. This is my last week of Comp II, and I have [...]

Jim Palmer wrote a couple of books that I’d like to check out… somehow i found his blog instead. Recently he wrote about his experience and thoughts on “church” which I find myself mostly agreeing with… Then i read the comments, and it really got me thinking… this is my response to his post, but mostly the comments:
I have not “left” church, though I have [...]

Target has caught my attention. They have always had a top notch marketing team, turning out commercials that are creative, eye-catching and memorable. The trend continues with their new campaign… Do % Good. A community focused department of Target that gives 5% of all revenue earned to charity, educational programs and the betterment of surrounding communities.
They mention $3 Million a week goes to the communities, [...]

text-fessional for October 21st at FWBF Fuel Sr. High Ministry.
I started this week off echoing some words I read a few weeks ago that have really stuck with me. Its time we rethink our priorities and stop putting Jesus first in our lives. Often we talk about Jesus first, then family, friends, work, school, etc etc etc… but the problem is it’s a mindset puts Him on a checklist. [...]

How cliche is that title? sheesh… lets take a worn out Shakespeare quote and manipulate to fit my content.. yah, that’s never been done before…
I know a handful of worship leaders have me on their feed reader, so i’m curious your thoughts on paying musicians a small stipend for their efforts… Or perhaps even bringing in outside musicians in order to ensure quality musicianship?
Here’s the [...]

Someone on my list of 325 subscribed blogs (exaggeration in order to justify my laziness of giving a proper hat tip) turned me on to this guy… here are some of my favorites… I’ll let the images speak for themselves. Go support him (with site hits) cause i just linked directly to his images, which is generally a no-no… but i figure if i send [...]

text-fessional for Sunday, October 14th, 2007
I’d like to start by saying I actually had some feedback after service this week! Can you believe it?! One of the adult leaders sought me out to let me know she was blessed by the worship and that it was exactly what she needed. Praise God that He is working in our lives!It is nice to hear that my [...]
