In just a couple of minutes our church’s annual business meeting will begin. We’ll hear reports from various ministries in the life of the church, vote in new leaders to various areas, and approve a new budget for this church year.

I am usually pretty “bored” with business-stuff like this, but today I’m anticipatory! I am excited about what God will do here at Our Savior’s this year and this meeting is the culmination of like-minded (mostly) people who will gather together today to make decisions that can launch our church forward in these beginning months of the church year.

I can’t help but wonder how many “annual church conferences” I’ve sat through now in my 28-years of life. This is number six as a Wesleyan pastor.

“7 8 9”, the track from their album, “Snacktime” (a collection of children’s songs) is available for free here.

Genius!

Coming soon to a youth room near you!

I’m feeling pretty ‘bleh’ right now. Went to bed with a slight sore throat and woke up with a full-fledged head cold and a ‘take a belt sander to it’ sore throat.

I spent most of the day on the couch and the only interesting thing I watched on television was a documentary on the Sundance Channel on-demand called “Off The Grid”. It was about a group of people living in New Mexico’s Mesa desert. Pretty interesting!

I did try and “smoke out” my head cold with half a bag of jalapeño potato chips.

Tonight during Life Group we set up Rock Band on one of my students’ XBOX 360 consoles. It was an absolute blast!

I was nervous going into tonight’s gaming, but was pleasantly surprised that I knew enough of the songs to do my part in playing a good game. My favorite part of the game was singing, surprisingly, too.

If you haven’t yet played Rock Band – you must.
