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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

text-fessional for October 7, 2007
REMINDER: It’s been a while, so just so you know… I lead worship for the Sr. High Student Ministryat Firewheel Bible Fellowship in Garland Tx, which meets on Sunday Nights.
Joel was transparent about a tough go of it he had yesterday. I had similar issues this week… I’ve been edgy lately over things I can’t exactly discuss at this point. I [...]

text-fessional for September 30, 2007
The bad news is Amy will officially no longer help me in this venture. Her and the spouse have moved on to pursue the direction God has been molding him for over the past year or so. She had “sorta” stepped down from the worship team a few weeks ago, but she was still sort of a consultant. In fact 3 [...]

text-fessional for Sunday, September 23, 2007
Wow. Its been awhile since installment number 14. We went through a month or so of just myself and Josh on acoustic. Last week was supposed to be our first week back as a full band, but I ended up not being able to be there. I hear that the team did a decent job of filling in on short [...]

Text-Fessional for 07/22/07
Our Bassist is AWOL. Maybe he went on vacation and forgot to tell us. I will have to inquire further. On a side note, my first band was called “AWOL” it meant whatever I wanted it to mean at the moment people asked… such as “A Word of Life” or “A Word of Love” or “Another White Owl’s Life”. We opened up for [...]

Text-Fessional for July 15, 2007
Josh (guitar player) was unavailable again this week, but with good reason; he was helping at his mom’s church. I’m all for helping other churches out. So I had a decision to make on Thursday… band with acoustic front and no electric? or electric front and no acoustic? … I chose acoustic… and that led to another choice which you can read [...]

Cliff Hanger: a melodramatic adventure in which each installment ends in suspense in order to interest the reader or viewer in the next installment.
It was a Sunday morning like most he had experienced over the past several months and like many more he had experienced over years of playing his part in various local churches’ worship scene; rise early, pack up gear and head off to [...]
