sunday afterthoughts

YOU CHOOSE set list was today. I had a great time doing that. YOUCHOOSE was Element Church's chance to pick the set list for sunday. Great job on picking good songs.

It is always so tough to rehearse on sunday morning only. I was nervous about today because we didn't have thursday night. Reheasal is always rough on sunday morning that way. But I had a major heart check today. I really felt like God was saying, just "press in". Get up there and press in. Don't worry about what got rehearsed and what did not, just press in. So I really encouraged the band today to just PRESS IN. If we choose to go there and people see that we are connecting and responding to our creator it will inspire it in their hearts as well. If we choose to get worked up on tempos and perfection, (WHEN WE HAVE DONE ALL WE CAN), the people will see it and it can be more of a distraction than missing a beat. Anyways, big learning stuff for me today. Worship is so much about the CHOICE. PRESS IN and CHOOSE to worship regardless of how you feel. WOW. That is more than an afterthought. lol.

Please be patient with us in our tech area. We have some big decisions to make tommorow in the area of our sound. We have fought this room a little to get it where we need it. We have not been happy thus far. We understand its been louder but full in previous weeks and softer but lacks fullness in other weeks. We are working on solving all that soon.

Great job tech team. You guys sacrifice a lot and learn a lot, thanks for your energy and time.

Jeff really nailed some things for me in my life today. Listen to his podcast, its a good reminder for our change over into the new facility. ITS NOT ABOUT A BUILDING, ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS.

Looking forward to a relaxing week of hanging with friends.

21 is going to ROCK OUR WORLD. Make sure to get in on that series. God will mess you up and its going to be so good. He has already been messing me up and I am looking forward to what he will do thru this series. Make sure to invite some friends.

ROCKIN AROUND THE TREE VIDEO will be up this week. Check back on Tuesday.
