A Good Week, A Hard Week

This week has been a very good week. God has shown me some wonderful truths in His word, and has taught me some new things about life in general. I have enjoyed every minute of creating our weekend experience at Northview. I am very excited about where God is going to take us.

This week has been a very difficult one as well. My grammy was diagnosed with a lower form of breast cancer. You don't need me to tell you that this was not something I wanted to hear. It is something that is very difficult for me, yet at the same time I am believing that God is completely in control of the situation. Some people say that miracles aren't prevalent any more, but I say that God has gifted technicians, scientists, and doctors with the ability to make machines and medicine to detect sickness. I believe God places miracles in many places, we just don't see them.

God bless you guys, I hope you have had a wonderful week. Enjoy God this weekend.

Pay It Forward

I saw Pay It Forward again yesterday, and I must say that it is in my top 5 favorite movies. The story alone should capture anyone with a human heart and soul. I would recommend it if you have never seen it. I really believe the movie is drenched in the grace of God.

This week has been marvelous so far, I am excited about what God has in store for the rest of my time this week.

My New Office

Here is a photograph of my new office. It obvioiusly isn't a picture of the whole thing, because we couldn't get the camera to show all angles. A lot of people helped put it together. Thank you Brak, Emily, Kristin, Abe, and all those I have forgotten. I'll post more pictures later (since I know you are all quite excited about my workspace...yea right). God bless!

Condi Rice and Jesus

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, I seem to have lost time (still haven't found it). This past week was very intense, but refreshing at the same time. This current week is starting off great, weather is good, work is absolutely wonderful, friends are great, family is lovely, girlfriend is incredible, and God is always Good. Jesus is showing me some cool things in his word and in my life in powerful and pulchritudinous ways. Psalm 42 is one of the most profound pieces of scripture in the living text of the Bible. Check it out with new eyes. God bless!

p.s condi rice should run for President

The Biggest Achievement of Mankind

The New Office

Here are a few pics from my newly minted office, they aren't the best
pics, and they really don't do the room justice, but alas here is a
peek into my world via the world wide web. I had a lot of help and
guidance from my GF, roomate (Abe), friend Christin, mom, dad, God.
It's an amazing space for me to come and create. I love it.

God has been good this week in a beautiful way. He has showed me a
freshness in the scripture this week that has been very renewing. God
bless, and enjoy God this week.

Streams of Life

Today was a wonderful day of rest. I had my prayer time today at a lake. Bodies of water are one of my favorite sanctuaries.

Yesterdays worship experience at NCC was a beautiful time of meeting with God. Yahweh is moving in this city in a mighty way, God is faithful.

A Day In The Life...

My week starts on Tuesday. This is the day that everything that I do
as Creative Arts guy at NCC starts to take shape. At 9:00am we begin
what I call our "Experience Design Team". This is the team that takes
the scripture-based theme for the weekend and fleshes out a worship
experience that tells the story of the week. There have been days that
we have met for almost 4 hours, it is a blast, but it can be
exhausting. The picture I have posted is one of the places that we
meet (Panera Bread Company). We try to meet at different places to
enrich our creative juices. There is nothing else I would rather do
right now then be the Creative Arts director, it is more rewarding than
you can imagine. 2005 is going to be a year to remember. God bless
you all. Peace, love, and rock and roll.

Life On The Mezzanine

This week of preperation and prayer has been wonderful. I have had a beautiful time of centering with Christ on the things that are most important in my personal life and in the Creative Arts ministry God has allowed me to lead. I took this week off from leading worship and it has been refreshing, but at the same time I have the sense of being on the mezzanine (waiting room). I am excited about what God has prepared already for worship at Northview, and even in my personal worship. My favorite hymn has been with me all week as I learn more about worshipping my creator: "All creatures of our God and King, lift up your voice and with us sing".

Peace, love, and rock and roll
