Reflections

I've said it before and I'll say it again Monday is a good way to ruin a perfectly good weekend. What a good weekend, good weather, good message, good relaxation at times, and just an all around good weekend. Friday night got to go over to JOY FM once again to give away another pair of tix to the show this Friday, congrats Andy Burke on winning, had fun over there with Dan Lipps and Ruby. Saturday was pretty relaxing after helping the father in law and a buddy fix the kids swingset. Helped Tammy set up for the Saturday Night Service with the snacks even got a few cookies back but the kids seem to scarf them up. Sunday was good as well. The service was a little different with starting into the first song set right off the bat, then the second set not too long after and offering at the very end. It is always fun to mix things up once in a while.

Songs this week were pretty good, the only problem was when we started into Holiness I couldn't hear myself checked connections, volume on the guitar still nothing then saw the foot pedal volume was down, solved that but unfortuately it happened again for the second set. Mental note to self check pedal volume before playing. How Great Is Our God was cool once again and I kind of dug the All To You starting slow and then ripping into it. All For Love was good to pull out again, it has been awhile since we've done that and you can really rock up that chorus.
Got to talk to Tom McAuley agian after service, good to see him again he really helped me get going with my playing a few years back.

The message again and the whole series was AWESOME. Tammy and I a few years ago "tested" God on this and to this day are still being faithful with the first 10 percent going to tithing. I can say from experience that this works and God is faithful to his promises.

Derek,

Had you not said anything in your blog I never would have known that you messed up anything on Sunday. Good job, you get better every week - keep at it!
