July 5th

This weekend was a lot of fun. There are a few fun stories to tell about it.

At practice we learned two things: Avioms are just so sweet whether you're wired to them or wireless. Those guys are going to start using us for ads.
The second was that Hungry will continue to kick our bums on that one little walk down. It seems silly, but everyone's brain interprets and reproduces things slightly different. The other day Aleks was teaching me a guitar diddy and when I played it he said: "well, that's like the one I do, but not the same." "It's the exact same thing," I said. "No," he answered, "yours is shu-tu-wata-wata. Mine is shutu-shutu-wata." That's not exactly how it went, but maybe you get the point.
Hungry just gets interpreted differently in each of us. One of these days we'll just play our own stinkin' arrangment.

Sunday was an adventure from the beginning. Mrs. Judy couldn't get her brand new computer to put out any sound; we had 18 different things to sound check in a small amount of time; our pastor refused to serve us communion (not really, I just felt the need to jab that out there because he was delayed in serving us. You just had to be there).

We did these songs:
Father let me dedicate (Be Glorified) - Matt Redman
Enough - Chris Tomlin
Amazing Grace (My chains are gone) - Chris Tomlin
Hungry - Kathryn Scott
Holy is the Lord - Chris Tomlin

The set went really well. Everyone did a really great job.

It was Bruce's first Sunday at sound by himself and he did great. Cody had his first go at lights and he did a great job. I think this may have been Jason's first shot at camera, and he was great too.

The only other cool story was that between services Java Joe dared Sam to drink a shot of espresso with pomegranete in it and he gulped it down for a candy bar. I thought kids would do anything for a dollar, but the standard has been lowered to 50 cents. Go figure!
