I did it.  I did it without even really thinking and I didn’t really mean to cause a stir.  I wrote a sentence about my thoughts on a popular blog and didn’t really think about the consequences.  I didn’t mean it to be a personal attack - but how can it not be a personal attack when we say something even slightly negative about someone’s blog - the place where they poor out their lives for the world to see?  But here’s the cool thing - even though I was negative (without really meaning to bash or criticize) - just share a thought -  Los contacted me gently, asking me why I said what I said in all fairness.  I think that was a big thing to do from a well established blog finding a blog rookie like myself mentioning a small note of criticism.  I’m really thankful for his reaction and hope God can still be honored and glorified through my mistake.  I added an edit to the original post as well.

Random Friday - The Worship Community and Gravatars

Hello all!  Friday is here and the weekend is almost upon us!  I wanted to share a couple of random things:

Music Theory at The Worship Community

My first article at The Worship Community has been published.  Check it out, especially if you’re wondering why it’s important to know music theory as a worship leader.

Gravatars

Secondly - do you wonder how some people get cool little images next to there comments in the comments section and some don’t?  I wondered about that for a long time as I was visiting other blogs as well and as I was designing the new theme for this one I figured out the secret - Gravatar.com! What this site does is allow you to register email addresses and assign an image to them or, a globally recognized avatar.  Every time you sign in somewhere to post a comment or something similar, if the website is set up properly, it will automatically grab your gravatar and post your image.  Pretty nifty!

Have a great weekend!
