nice los. great idea.

5am is harsh. i do not envy you. ha.

it depends if i play or not.

if i get to play, i have two celebrations saturday night. i don't go out saturday night after church with friends because i have to be up at 7.30 so i can get to church @8am for sound check. then 3 celebrations on sunday.

if i'm not playing i hang out saturday night then sleep in sunday. i go to the 10.45 or the 12.30 celebration.

grow it out. i've been going for a month now in prep for shaving for a big show. ha. i hate shaving right before (it just never looks right,) so i'm putting it off.

when i first started playing music, it was for my church's youth group. i was 12 and the rest of my friends were just learning how to play instruments. they needed a bassist and i wanted to have some fun. we practiced a lot until our youth pastor found out we were playing together. he asked us to start playing. we were awful for about the first year of playing. seriously, we were horrid. however we had one thing: passion. tons of it. my senior year of high school the worship leader left to do YWAM's DTS program. I had the opportunity to lead. it was great for me.

i've been playing for 10 years now, and 5 years ago i started playing for the main services. all of us are now a part of the "big church" worship team. we still love the opportunity to worship God with our talents.

i honestly believe i wouldn't have grown as much as a musician or as a person had i not been given the chance to play while in middle school and high school. i've learned a lot about band dynamics, but even more about letting God lead me while i'm playing.

our church has gone away from that in the past few years though. after our youth worship leader got back from YWAM, he took over as our church's worship leader. he has however retained his position as the youth worship leader too. it bums me out to see something that was great for us to simply fall to the wayside based out of comfort or complacency.

well if the bottles and cans can clap their hands i don't see why rocks shouldn't be allowed to grin.
