This and That

I'm having a hard time focusing today, which I need to get past as there is so much to get done! Erin is on break and will be here this evening. We're spending most of the day tomorrow working on getting ready for a family shower for Baby Clinger on Saturday. :-) That will be fun!

But that means that I have just today to get things ready for Sunday morning--EasyWorship projection schedule and sermon--and I need to have a good start on my sermon for Sunday night. We're starting a new service at 5:30 on Sunday evenings ( called "Selah") and I found out that I was going to be preaching it too late to do one sermon for both morning and evening, so I'm doing double duty this week and next. :-(

I've read the last of Francis de Sales, but I'm to distracted by the rest of my day to reflect much on what he wrote. Ah, well, RIP Francis.

Peace, love and grace.

Church Basement Roadshow

I made a roadtrip to Wichita for the Church Basement Roadshow with Tony Jones, Doug Pagitt and Mark Scandrette. I have to say that I was disappointed with it. It's not that it wasn't a great show--it was, and I came away with what I think will be useful information--but it wasn't what I was expecting. What it was, was a promotional tour for their new books. Perhaps, I'm too naive, or not "something" enough, but I was expecting sage advice from three of the biggest names in emerging worship. All in all, it was a fun evening and I liked what I did hear from them. I'll see where the books take me. If nothing else, I've got Healing Balm of Gilead now.

Peace, love and grace.
