SOWA Starts NOW!
I am sitting here at home in my office tonight catching up on a few things, and my mind is racing! I haven't been this excited in a long time. This week starts another term of SOWA - the Living Stones School of Worship Arts. I'm particularly excited about this session because I'm going to be teaching a new course. Well, the course isn't new, but our approach is. During the last session, some of other instructors taught SOWA Band for those emerging worshipers that were ready for the next level (to play in a band setting). This session marks the first time that I will be teaching the course. Instead of having all of the various instructors there, I'll be teaching the band as a unit as if they were going to be leading worship. Actually, they will be leading worship!! After a few weeks of preparation, they will actually be leading our children in Fresh Fire Kids on the first Tuesday night of the month. (Fresh Fire Kids is our worship and intercession night for children!)
This is exciting - where can young people get this opportunity to be trained and then to actually "do the stuff" and lead others in worship. I know we're not the only place doing this, but it certainly isn't commonplace yet in the Body of Christ.
I'll give some more updates along the way . . .
The Shack or NOT the Shack, that is the question
I have talked to various people as to whether or not they like the best selling book, THE SHACK. I'm not sure and wonder what some of the rest of you think.
I'm not into "bashing the author" so don't leave comments with that tenor or I'll just delete them. But I would love your honest thoughts. Comments away . . .
Ridiculously Random Thoughts
It's Sunday night and lots of thoughts . . . .
- What about that earthquake on Friday??? Selah had a dream about an earthquake the same night that it happened. Is my kid prophetic??
- This weather is incredible. If I could move somewhere where this is as cold as it gets in the winter, I would be in HEAVEN!
- It was good to be back in Gary leading worship today at Living Stone s - Gary. That's still my favorite sound system to lead worship with - the monitor system is great. You can hear everything so clearly.
- I ordered my Ultimate Ears custom monitors last week. It should be a couple of weeks before they're made but I can't wait!!
- I started Twittering. Twittering is a very short form of blogging answering the question, "What are you doing now."
- Did I say how much I love this weather?
- I really want to see Expelled.
- Charlene's Dell computer died. Well, I'm not sure if it's completely dead but it's not looking pretty. I'm going to take it to the office tomorrow and try to at least get our MS Money data file off of the hard drive. The girl needs to get a Mac!
- Mother's Day is coming. Any good ideas for the girls and I to get Charlene? Last year we got her a nice photo book from Apple that we created. Looking for something original . . .
- Looked at the south side of the house today, and we're definitely do for a major paint job on the exterior. Anyone interested in a fun experience painting with me??
- I wonder if the violent weekend in Chicago has anything to do with the full moon? What a great place for the next great revival. John just did an amazing post about the moon.
