Impacted

Wow, what a great few months it has been.

It was such an honor to be considered to appear in Living Word’s first “Impact” magazine.

I’ve read so many posts related to it on all your blogs. (see my blogroll)

Thanks for Allowing me to be a testimony.

Rev 12:11  And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony. And they did not love their soul until death. (mkjv)

1.) Blood?…..taken care of..

2.)Testimony?…..

LWFC's first issue of "Impact"

3.) soul?…..I prefer Spirit.

2 in a row?

Wow, two blogs in two days. Probably because it’s easier to write with a laptop than sitting at my PC.

It’s not the most comfortable place. We’re outgrowing the “Queen’s Bombshelter” (biglilSis).

Great Saturday Night Praise and Worship, a little rusty (which is unacceptable) but tomorrow (Sunday 9:00 and 11:00) Will be much better.

I’d love to go in about 10 or 20 directions but I’ll go for now.

Love this video.. thought you’d dig it. An expanded version of one of my favorite guitarist’s (Steve Vai) arrangements with a symphony orchestra.

This is the part where I write “Haven’t blogged in a while…” And you say….”I know!…what’s up with you ya non bloggin blogger!” and I say “whoa!”….. “dont call me that in front of all (both) of these people who read this.”

Anyway, God is still good! Too many blessings to count. Sounds cliche’… but it’s more true every day.

If I listed all of the doors opened and the favor that I’ve experienced in the the last few months you’d probably say……..dude…….your God IS God!

Prayers for Tony Snow’s family.

“Marriage is Honorable” Heb 13:4

4)  ”Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge”.

means 2 things

Honorable gr. (means 2 things)

Thayer Definition:

1) as of great price, precious

2) held in honour, esteemed, especially dear

1)marriage is valuable (Eph5:22-33)

the main reason that the enemy is to distort the world’s view of the church

2) Costly (John 4:5-19) the samaritan woman (married 5 times and never planned to fail any of the 5 times)

**Marriages fail because of a violation of vows (covenant)

4 ways to improve your marriage

1) Focus on the covenant that you have made.

(instead of accusing each other)

Ask “what vow have I violated”…”where have I messed up”

.2) Time- (what you spend time on will flourish…what you neglect will wither & die)

A) Date!

B) study each other (know thier motivational gifts)

C) Listen to each other

D) Sex

3) Peace in every .conversation

A soft answer turns away wrath but grievous words stir up anger” (prov15:1-4) what you do with the knowledge about your mate says a lot about you

4) Trust God-  (what He brings into our marriage)

A) The Holy Spirit (pray in the spirit)

B) Supernatural Love

The Word

The blood of Jesus

Sangin’

Wow, I had a chance to observe Praise and Worship Practice for the first time in……..who knows? I knew our vocalists were very talented but…..I had no idea!

I ‘m with them all the time and perform with them all the time (for the lack of a better word), but I NEVER hear them…..EVER. When I play, I have all of the background vocals turned off. Too much going on is distracting to me in my mix. The little packs that the musicians wear with the headphones allow us to mix the music the way WE want to hear it. But out front tonight,….man they were so smooth. The harmony and pitch was awesome! Ann Stover and Laura Tapp have trained them well to say the least.

Also the Mix from the new sound equipment that we have out front is clear and punchier than ever. Most people raved about this months and months ago but…..now’s my turn.

Just do it already!

Have you ever had an aspiration to do something and let your negative head talk you out of it?…of course you have. Ok, have you ever grabbed yourself by the hair and said. “I’m doing this, its good for me and my future!”
Well I have been doing this lately and I can tell you that the little negative voice (and its source) is a punk! It has to obey you! So whatever God has put in you to do….Just Do It already!

Dancin’ with Stu

•March 21, 2008 • 1 Comment

I had an opportunity to visit and work with one of my favorite guitar players tonight.

Stu Alexander

He’s better than ever and back on the LWFC schedule starting in in April. I went over some songs with him catching him up to date. I didn’t really know how much I missed his tone until tonight. Before I left we talked about our differences in style and influences. We have a lot more similarities that you may think. My style is maybe a bit more flashier. He would probably say that I’m the better guitarist but in all honesty……well I put it to him this way.

” Just because a woman can do all those gymnastic flips and acrobatics in the Olympics doesn’t mean she can dance.” Stu is a very very good dancer! most of the stuff that I learned in the world was all exercise. When I moved to Raleigh it was Stu who taught me to dance.

I am convinced that the text messaging feature on my cellphone changes every traffic light from red to green. (this doesn’t work at all the other way around).
