Can I get one of these for Christmas…please?

What would you do if your pastor asked you to pull something like this off for his next series? Would you do it? Could you do it? Would your effort be worth doing?

i wathed that video and thought how awesome it would be to be involved with something like that. Better yet, how could I incoporate something like that in our worship service or new building. Alas, the money is not there and more than likely tryint to make something like this would only fall short…or would it?

Unfortunately for me, I picked a pretty bad time to take a blogging break. Between politics, football, the return of TV shows, church stuff, family events, etc., there was way too much good stuff to let go without my humble opinion. ;)

Anyway, I’ve got a lot I want to talk about so there should be plenty to read if your interested. For now, I’ll leave you with this in memory of my forgetting the words to Amazing Grace on stage at Oak Leaf a few weeks ago.

The words of the song are still accurate. God can heal any affliction and nothing is impossible for Him.

I believe everyone has something they need God to heal including being a compulsive liar.

If the devil himself wrote the song, God could and probably would still use it to bring glory to His name.

My only question is this: when I do sing this song again (which I am going to do because I believe it is powerful and needs to be sung), will the people in the audience who know about the person who wrote it be able to get beyond it to worship God the way He deserves to be worshiped?

I deeply believe Christian leaders are and should be held to a higher standard. Not for the people who will judge but for those that need an authentic example. But I’m sure that every song we have every sung was written by an author who has a long list of faults and every worship leader that has ever existed has made poor decisions that reflect negatively on his/her character and integrity.

When you hear this song the next time, how will you respond?

Music Monday has become Muxtape Monday. I was never really good at writing reviews anyway.

this is the same one from two weeks ago but I’m repeating it for those who never took a listen.

So go listen

Want to offer suggestions for my next mix?

I’ve tripped over quite a few cables in my day but I wonder if this will actually work.

If it does, would you get one?

I realize I’m a little slow getting on this band wagon but it took me hearing one that made since to get behind it. And now I’m in love. Not only that, but I’ve discovered that by combing fluid to create a coverflow effect, you get a jaw dropping look into the excting world of mixtapes for the digital age.

Try mine…

…then tell me what you think.

Man, I did not need to see this or this.

I’m already saving my pennies.

The band that helped usher in the modern worship movement is calling it quits come the end of 2009. Can we all join hands and sing a chorus of “I Could Sing of Your Love Forever” to pay our respects?

What is your favorite Delirious tune?

I know I’m the last person that should be critical of anyone else’s music and the only reason I even write this little blurbs is to challenge myself to go out and listen to stuff other people like and try to broaden my horizons. The new CD by Aimee Mann is down right boring. My brother says it is because I don’t know what good music is. That may be true, but I’m not going to waste my time trying to find the culture in her music and figure out her style does anything for anyone. I’ve liked some of her older stuff but nothing but the last song on this album did anything for me. Sorry all you Aimee Mann fans. I’m not joining your club.
