Today was a good day. Andrew, our new education minister led singing during worship….and led plenty of songs. Lots of times I think we get into a rush and have to give the sermon a certain amount of minutes. Where do we cut? Number of songs per worship service. But today was good. We had about 8 songs. Excellent. Some of the best part of worship is the singing. Why are we are forced to cut back on it just because someone wants to get out at a certain time? It is asking too much to give God 75 minutes from your 168 hour week? So what if we are unable to squeeze the entire worship service into a nice little box of 60 minutes?
David used a trashcan and shovel as object lessons during his sermon. I’d like to get a picture of him slinging that shovel around with the zoom camera for church bulletin documentation. A year or so ago, he used a sheep as part of an object lesson. It helps to get the kids (and adults) with short attention spans to focus on a sermon with objects held in front of their faces.
Weblogs I read: There are a few weblogs that I have been known to read. Most of which got started directly from my suggestions.

• ye ol written word of todd a burka – long time listener; first time blogger.
• Josh’s Blogger House – Todd’s friend. Just getting started – looks to be interesting so far.
• Jesse – Live and Petal-Open – Josh’s girlfriend.
• Mrs. Williamson’s Diary – hardly ever updated. Can we declare this blog D.O.A. ?
