This is my view from 'back stage' 5 minutes before our morning service starts at The Well. It's the time when I sit and pray and think about you and think about how your feeling and how yo
ur week went. I listen to the murmur of people talking, the pre-service music, maybe a couple of kids screaming in the background. I take 2 or 3 minutes to collect my thoughts and get focused, only in that room, only at that time. Then Todd and I (and whoever happens to be there) pray for the service, the church, the city. It's one of my favorite moments of sunday.
Yesterday was the first time in a while (4 weeks) that I played alone (thanks DJM). Funny thing is, the stage didn't feel empty. You made the difference. Had feeling all week that it was going to be good. Knowing God was going to do something. Knowing something is growing that wasn't there before. Knowing that the people who show up are there 'cause they want to be.
And my hunch paid off.
Really. good. church.
'cause ya know, good church (and good worship) is like a bunch of kids dancing around the backyard. They don't care what they look like. Don't care who's looking. Don't care how loud they are.
There's usually a leader, but that's just the one who turns on the music...after that it's up to the other kids to go crazy
...and for what end? To GLORY in being alive.
And THAT, is what we're after...
Enjoy your week in GLORY.
