the setlist || 6.22.08
Written on 2 July 2008 by adminBack in the saddle for worship. It was good to be back and with the team. New drummer Mike Wrench joined us and he did a great job. I’ll miss my boy Nate, but I look forward to how the team is going to grow together in the coming months. Here was the set:
My Glorious :: Martin Smith & Stuart Garrard
Only One Love :: Yvonne Parks
Hosanna :: Brooke Fraser
The Stand :: Joel Houston
How Great is Our God :: Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves & Ed Cash
I’m loving Hosanna. In fact, Brooke Fraser has pretty much written most of the songs I’ve fallen in love with recently. Beth KILLED this song on Sunday. People really responded to it. I’m glad we finally had the chance to lead the congregation in it. Only One Love is a favorite much for it’s simplicity, but also for it’s picture of an intimate relationship between GOD and us.
Next Sunday is Samuel Scheffler’s first time preaching as our new pastor. I’ve had the chance to discuss some of the sermon with him and I’m excited for what he’s going to bring as the leader of this church.
Genius Ideas :: Poker Night
Written on 2 July 2008 by adminWho came up with Guy’s Night? Was it just a reaction to Girl’s Night? Whatever - I’m convinced that it’s one of the best practices in marriage. Tonight (as usual on the first Tuesday of the month) was poker night. Nate (my friend and former roommate) and I started it up at the beginning of the year. We even purchased a poker table to stick in my unfinished cave of a basement (complete with a single hanging light). Every month, about 8-10 dudes come over for a couple hours of poker, snacking, and man love. We toss in $5 buy-ins to make things a little competitive. Winner might take home enough to gas up the car. The house gets enough cash to cover next month’s snacks/beverages. It’s just such a great time to kick back and be with “the guys.” The wives endorse it, and I love them for that.
So here’s to you Beth, for allowing us to host poker night every month.
And you, Nate, for getting things started with me.
And here’s to Jon, John, Karl, Adam, Seth, Barry, Eric, and Choater, for making the first Tuesday of every month a masculin’ good time.
Does anyone else enjoy some quality time with the dudes? What do you do?
A movie about my town!
Written on 2 July 2008 by adminThere’s a movie coming out about the Little League World Series, which takes place every year in my hometown of Williamsport, PA. It’s about the particularly cool story of the first Mexican (and non-US for that matter) team to win the championship. Also of importance is that Cheech Marin is playing a priest…CHEECH MARIN! I love a good sports movie, and the fact that it shares some Billtown love is pretty cool. (Is that old school Gloria Estefan in the trailer? I had such a crush back in the day…)
Anyway, you can read a write up over at The Movie Blog. Check out the trailer:
The poster looks pretty neat, too…
Check out that tagline: “Dream for the fences.” Gee, I wonder how that could apply to ministry…
Thoughts?

paul potts - THE MOVIE!
Written on 25 June 2008 by adminAwhile back I posted about Paul Potts, a regular guy who stunned the world when he dominated Britain’s Got Talent with his opera singing. It’s one of those “this is what he was meant for” moments. (You can watch it below…)
It looks like Paul’s inspiring story is getting the hollywood treatment. Read the article here!
Here’s the video of Paul’s audition. Try to watch it without getting the warm fuzzies…
I'm a guy who's not above telling you that his wife is hot and his dog is cool. I get excited about music, football, and a summer of cookouts. Mostly, I just want to love people and be more like Jesus.
