Most of you know my life's passion is worship ministry and I'm so blessed to be able to use my gifts in a way that puts a roof over our heads & clothes on our backs (and much more, obviously).
But I also love, in a very different way, being a church administrator.
Today I drained the baptistry and refilled it. It's fun to work with water that washes the sins of the world away.
After refilling, I was in the process of adding chlorine when I had an experience slightly similar to that of Former President Bill Clinton. He did not inhale, apparently, but I did today over the bucket of chlorine granules.
I'm fairly sure after that inhalation experience I'll never have pneumonia, and I'll never get lung cancer. I think the insides of my lungs are now pearly white and hospital-sterile. I hope the strong pungent breath-taking odor also whitened my macchiato-stained teeth as it made its way down.
I just feel clean all over and now everything I touch is also instantly santized. (I did not use gloves, but will next time.) I hope when I pick up Faithy tonight when I get home, that I don't bleach out her clothes with my fingertips.
Now, back to worship, the new Shane & Shane CD is out...It's called "Pages" and I'm getting to know it. "We Love you, Jesus" is very powerful and musically interesting. There's a cool song about Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego also, a story for which I wish there were more songs, since it's so many people's favorite O.T. story (mine & Jaime's for sure.) It's called "Burn us up." I love their guitar work and tight duet vocals. But you just have to enjoy the good and skip over a few tracks on all of the CDs, if you ask me. They are rarely in the middle of my musical-taste palette. They're either knocking them out of the park, or should be getting kicked out of a park.
Regardless, I recommend it. I bought mine off www.independentbands.com and they always have low pricing.
Have a great weekend everyone! Walk with Jesus every moment. He's right beside, inside you. How humbling and reassuring and powerful to know.

I'm so excited their new cd is out! I'll have to order one. I've been a big S&S fan for quite a few years and loved getting to see them perform live. My sister even used some of their music in her wedding a few weeks ago...a bit "unique" but it was nice!
Listening to it now, and a couple of their songs made me think of something -- and it's actually worship-planning related! :) (imagine . . . )
Do you think that there are some songs out there that are WONDERFUL worship songs -- the kind you can sing along and truly enjoy worshiping with -- but that just don't work for group / congregational singing?
I cringe every time I've been in a worship service when the leader is introducing a new song and it has a funky rhythm, syncopation, or something like that, and I get an idea of what the song is supposed to sound like, but realize that a group of people that large will NEVER be able to sing it "right".
Am I just being too uptight musically, or do you think that some songs just aren't cut out for big groups like that?
