What I Blog About – From Wordle
Since Billy Chia just confessed that he is a “church addict” after entering his blog into wordle, I wanted to see what would come about if I did the same thing. Here it is:
The best thing about it – every time I refreshed, the words “worship” and “happened” always showed up prominently. Thank You, Lord, for reassuring me that “worship happened” every time we have gathered!
Blog Love – Some Links You Should Check Out
Shannon shares a great series on Maturity in Christ. I’d highly encourage reading all parts. Part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, a bit more, and a bit more!
Brad Loser (loh-ser, not loo-zer!) is going through Worship Matters. If you want some detailed thoughts from some folks going through the book, definitely check it out. He shares quite a bit, so be prepared for some reading, but it’s worth it.
Billy shares a really fantastic post on complaining and feedback to follow up his humorous post that he posted in response to Ragamuffin Soul’s “you-asked-for-it” question. I think I’m one of the few people that actually recommends not reading Ragamuffin soul, but I thought Billy eventually turned this around quite positively. *EDIT* Los contacted me directly with a very positive comment asking why I said this in the comments. I really appreciate it and explained why I said this below. I shouldn’t have said it and should have let people come to their own decision about his blog. I do apologize for that and hope we can all be at peace. The power of words are quite incredible at times.
Russ has a fantastic story about his privilege to be Fred’s guest at National Worship Leader Conference and hang out with some of the more famous worship folks.
Lorie King has a featured article on The Worship Community on how to enhance stage presence. I think her perspective is right on with all of these tips.
Finally, Fred has a wonderful post about making sure we focus on good things happening and celebrate victories.
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! More thoughts from my teaching this Sunday will come next week.
