I have looked at my blog site probably 5 times a day every day since my last blog. However, I have not had time to sign in and leave a line for everyone.
Today, though, I did accomplish something and this week we have accomplished alot as a church. Personally, I just finished the band schedule and song schedule through the end of November. It’s a good feeling to be ahead. We also have some really cool songs coming up ie: Hosanna (Hillsong United – All of the Above), Let Me Sing (Todd Fields – NP Live (Louder Than Creation)), Never Failed Me (Eddie Kirkland – Orthodoxy).
However, as a church we are bursting at the seams. We had 98 elementary school kids in UpStreet last week. 98!!! We have growing pains. As a church, we are reaching our community more effectivly than ever before, and we are excited. However, there are pains, and they are real. So, I’m sure I will stay busy, but I’ll try to make more of an effort to find time for blogging.
My life has been so busy these last few days. The July 3rd event went great. There was a ton of people and it was a great day for the community. On July 4th, I spent some time with my friends Will and Dawn, and then we all went to Panama City to see a 17 minute firework show….it was interesting. The fifth was spent catching up on sleep and putting the final touches on Sunday Morning’s Service. The sixth was ….Sunday so that was a heavy morning, nice lunch, 40 min nap and then I drove down to Panama City Beach to see the Big Stuf opener for this week (which I was not very blown away with. Production timing was off). So now I find myself here, getting ready for bed, looking at a week packed with Planning Center and Admin Stuff. I’m going to try to make this more of a part of my day, everyday so I can have an outlet. So here I am catching up.
Oh yeah, on top of it all, I’m missing Jadie like crazy. It’s killing me. I can’t wait to hang out with her again….ATL is coming up
Tomorrow Rivertown is putting on an event for independence day. The “July 3rd Event” is a huge deal around here and takes TON’S of volunteers. As for the band….we have learned 34 songs…..THAT’S RIGHT 34. If you were to wander into Blountstown, Florida tomorrow night you would hear such epic tunes as: Free Bird, Carry On My Wayward Son, Pride and Joy, R.O.C.K in the USA, and American (that’s right THE Neil Diamond). You may also recognize some other cool tunes on a hot day ie: Home (Marc Broussard), The Middle (Jimmy Eat World), and Beautiful Day (U2). I’m teetering on excitement and fear. Excited to play and fear of total personal failure (I hope I can remember the songs.) Anyway, we’ll see how it works out. Happy 4th.
