Last Night...

was a great night!  No, I wasn't home to watch the opening ceremonies of the XXIX Olympiad (though I did watch it today...at least some of it).  My friend, Shelley, was having a CD release party last night and invited a bunch of local friends up to Champion Forest Baptist Church to worship with her last night.  I made my way up there just in time for the night to start, only to find that two of my best friends in the world would be singing with her, Sam and Kristi.  And another friend, Justin was running the board for her.  Great to see friends...always!

This summer has been crazy for me.  I have been crazy busy with a second job and trying to keep things moving at the Springs.  My new job has taken more of my time than I hoped it would and is causing me a little more stress than I needed.  However, the people are good to work with and I am making some money...which is always good.  Anyway, the struggles for the summer have left my spirit a little frazzled.  Last week, I told Rhonda that I sure would like to find a night where I could just go worship corporately with a band of believers.  My primary pathway to Father is by singing.  I have always found it easier to connect with Him through song than just about any other means.  I have broadened out in the past few years, but every once in a while, my spirit cries out for a corporate gathering where people are focused on Father and lifting up His name above anything else.  Last night became that night for me.  No big light show.  No big band.  No preacher.  No ticket prices.  Just friends worshiping together and inviting me to join.  60 minutes corporately, followed by sushi with friends, then another 50 minutes alone in the car coming home...it was so rich.

Love the new CD, too.  Enjoy the samples here...
