sooo, looking back at this weekend i can see how God was working things out…long before i knew that they needed worked out…going into this past weekend i had NO lead guitar…NONE…and i happened to e-mail a lead guitarist that had moved to FL a couple years back…i knew he was coming to town at the end of the month and wanted to see if he was interested in jamming with us when he was in town…what do you know…he was coming to town this past weekend too and wanted to plug in!!!

then on saturday afternoon at 1:00pm i received a phone call from the lead worship pastor…the one female vocalist that was available for the weekend  was not able to make it in…her parents were just in a car accident, that she witnessed, and she was at the hospital with them…sooo, i just asked him to see if his daughter was available to sing on such short notice (about an hour from rehearsal time)…of course she was able to work things out and did a GREAT job of learning a couple new tunes in the car on the way there…

rehearsal went very well…it was great to catch up with “shred” and to play with him again…for whatever reason things were a little off at one point or another in each of the three services…i don’t think we repeated any of our mistakes, we just came up with new ones…but i can honestly say that the mistakes did not hinder what God was doing…because HE’S good like that…

the best part of the weekend for me was getting to pull out my tele and play it…it’s been awhile…and i’m even going to use it this weekend for most of the set…

sooo there you have it…

sunday setlists…LIVE…take sixteen…

i was back in the LIVE services of lima community church…it was my first week back since we did things a little different…i have to say that two full weekends away, was nice…especially with having a week off from my full-time job!!!

but i was back at it…here we go…

we started the services off with our video announcements and a short “meet and greet” time…

1. here is our King…by david crowder

2. marvelous light…by charlie hall

then the host of the services came up and set up communion…the elements were passed…

3. Jesus paid it all…as performed by kristian stanfill

then the host came back up and everyone took of the elements together…

4. Jesus paid it all…we just did one chorus and ended the song with the six consecutive bridges…

5. how great is our God…by chris tomlin

our host then came back up and set up the offering time…also announced the start of a new video venue service next week…our “new traditions” venue…

6. arms open wide…by hillsong united

then we had our message given by the northwest ohio district superintendant for the church of the nazerene, rev. d. geoffrey kunselman…it was a message on being filled with God’s love and then in turn pouring it out of our lives…

7. amazed…by lincoln brewster

______________________________________________________________

sooo, this weekend was good…it was a little rough, for whatever reason, to get back into the groove…but once rehearsal started saturday afternoon, things were rolling…we got the music ready in good time…we had some quality devotion/discussion time on a couple verses in colossians 4…

the services all went smoothe, other than a minor glitch on saturday night…the host never left the stage after setting up communion…he actually stood right next to my mic…so i wasn’t able to start the song…we rolled with it and just started the song after we took the elements…i played through the whole time and cut a verse on the fly…the band and tech people did a great job of sticking with me…

overall it was a good weekend and good to get back at it…i’m excited to see what God has in store in the coming weeks!!!

sooo there you have it…

sunday setlists…LIVE…take fifteen…

sooo, it’s been WAY too long since i’ve posted something on my blog…and really what i have posted in the last month hasn’t been real life changing…

reason = life = busy RUNNING NON-STOP

even our vacation last week seemed to be a lot of running…but i did get a little much needed rest…and got back in the groove first thing monday morning…next thing i know it’s friday and the weekend is starting in a few hours…

i’m back in the LIVE services at lima community church this weekend for the first time in three weeks…i’ll be honest here…i’m struggling to get focused and passionate about what God is doing at our church…but it’s coming…i’m excited to see what He has in store this weekend…i’m sure that once i get there tomorrow afternoon the juices will start flowing again!!!

in case you wondered…

still alive…
