Saint Francis Day 2007-10-04 11:52:54 Saint Francis
of Assisi 1181-1226
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an
instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred,
let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

I just got watching the “godfather of worship confessionals” Carlos on LA Ink.I could not believe I had to wait to the end of the show to see his story. However even with the wait I was blown away with it. How many times have we seen a Christian profess their beliefs on tv and creative editing either deletes half of it or puts a wack twist on it. Not this time. Christ was mentioned and it could not have gone any better. Los rocks and it was a very cool tat as well.
Did you watch?
Top 5 Cd’s of the Week 10/02/07 2007-10-01 23:49:16
Here they are in Random order..
1. David Crowder * Band - Remedy ~ have you been under a rock…go buy it now!
2. Paul Baloche - Our God Saves ~ I’m still listening to my promo copy and I’ve gotta tell ya…this CD is brilliant.
3. Michael Neale - No Greater Audience ~ No surprise here…I still can’t stop listeing to this one. It is one of the top 5 worship CD’s I have ever heard.
4. Shane & Shane - Pages ~ killer new CD and review is coming
5. Mark Heard - High Noon ~ a little old school, but if you haven’t heard him he is one of the best Christian song writers of all time.
So what is in your top 5 this week?
David Crowder - Remedy Review 2007-10-01 12:06:52
I know I said Fridays will be my review day, but since this is my blog…
David
Crowder Band - Remedy
I have seen a ton of reviews on this CD now. Some Good..Some not. Mine came a little later then expected because I pre-ordered it. I did however get a nifty remedy totebag and stickers that you might not have. So all in all worth it.
One of the most talked things is..Good CD, but it’s not A collision. Well that is a justified statement, but one for me that needs a little tag at the end of it. None of crowders CD’s are the same. Thats what I love about them. Crowder keeps reinventing himself and breaking new ground. This CD does just that.
I think I am different from your standard Crowder-head in that My favorite CD is sunsets & sushi. So I might be coming at this with a different perspective. A collision was brilliant and one of the best they have done, but I think this CD deserves mucho kudos as well.
Lets go down the list.

Great set this week.
This was a really cool service because in the middle of it we had a renewing of vows ceremony for an awesome couple in our church. This is a couple who not only got to renew their vows but got to dedicate their marriage to the King. Gotta love that!
So we opened this week with All creatures of Our God and King. This has to be one of my top 5 favorite hymns. I love it. We did it crowder style of course.
Then we had prayers and went into our gloria in a lower key to be a ble to transition better into the raucous Dancing Generation. This song gets the church pumped up and people hopping around. It is very cool to see people get into God like that.
After that we did some changes to the original list going into Friend of God and Holy God (doerksen). Holy God to me is one of the top worship songs out there. It comes from Doerksens last CD and it hits me every time.
Then You Amaze me by Michael Neale. Another top 5 for me. His stuff is brilliant and that song is so powe Read more:Confessional

CECWorship Stickfessional 2007-10-14 22:18:10 So Last week there was a little contrversy. Who started the term textfessional? some say it was Jeremy..othes say connor…and some still say I did.
I was thinking about it and decided I didnt worry about it much but I don’t want to be known as a non-innovator.
So without further ado….here is the first ever STICK-FESSIONAL. Crude as it may be…it’s never been done…somethings take time
SIDE NOTE: first panel says “hmm where is everybody…They all seemed to come late..because the place kept filling up even after first few songs.
Great set this week. the congregation was really into it. I think things are really changing in the quality of our worship. Idont mean with guitars, I mean spiritually. It was a tough morning with screaming kids etc. and it was another week I had to be in the church. This weeks struggle with just having theability to focus on something other than life. I think it was During Center where I just stood there and foc

10th Anniversary 2007-10-12 11:52:22
It has been 10 years with this wonderful woman as of yesterday. Kelly is my life and I have been honored and more than blessed having her as my wife. I tell her all the time that I thank God I didn’t get stuck with an ugly wife because There isnt a time when I am not thinking about how great it is just to look at her. These last 10 years have been amazing. We have been through some good times and tough times and God is always faithful. She is an amazing mom, friend, wife and beauty. I can’t wait for the next 10 years. Our crew is getting bigger in the next few weeks. She is due with our third kid (dont know boy or girl) on Oct 28th. So any day now.
I dont know what I would do without my wife. I got married at 20 and she was 24. This has been the best ride of my life and we have the best kids ever. (Tristan age 6, Collin age 2.5 and ?.)

Friday Reviews: TV Shows 2007-10-19 10:02:33
Here are the sought after friday reviews…This weeks focus…My TV habit (fall season)
1. I Hate My 30’s - are you between age 25-35….THEN WATCH THIS….it is only 8 episodes and you can watch it online at the V-spot, Disclaimer: one of the funniest shows ever. A little crude. bring a change of pants!
2. Heroes - My wife and I finally caught up via DVD and we are hooked…what a brilliant show…It is almost as good as Lost
3. Top Chef - This season just ended, but wow was it killer…I love cutthroat cooks!
4. Last One Standing - A new reality show…and let me tell you this is for the men…and the women who could handle watching 300. These guys are insane. They go from tribe to tribe (Africa, South america, etc) and compete with the warriors…amazing
5. Mythbusters - Ok it’s like 7000 seasons…well seems like it. and they are still going strong…This is my #1 nerd show to watch. I love science..for t Read more:Friday
