Paul Beloche responds to "Why won't my worship team practice?"
I dig Paul Beloche's training DVD's. This clip is from a website I just discovered that has tons of articles and clips and cool stuff. Watch this and then think about what is the motivation for excellence that Beloche is talking about? Is this gospel driven? Performance (guilt/fear/orphan) driven? Is Psalm 33 a legit scripture to cite as a justification for our music team to "take it up a notch"?

Great Worship Resources
I was sick last week. That is pretty typical for me after a big weekend like the Black History Program. So, I was basically in survival mode for a while. As a result I feel behind in blog stuff because I actually have a lot to write about. I'll give you a summary of what I might write about as I have time.
The Art Of Worship by Greg Sheer
This was a really excellent book. It's incredibly practical. It basically teaches everything you would have to do to set up and maintain a modern worship band ministry. I've read a couple of other books similar to this one, but I must say The Art of Worship is my new favorite. I would not recommend it as a devotional or theological text on worship; it's not written for those purposes.
www.planningcenteronline.com
This is a new website that my dad told me about that I am little obsessed with right now. Basically, it has taken all of my Excel, Access, and web resources and combined them into one easy and customizable service. I hope it will open up my schedule to do more flesh and blood ministry and less logistical busy-work.
South City Delegation
I'm currently in the process of working with our South City team to get them into a self-sustaining system. Delegation! Empowerment! Freedom!
By the way, my wife is 2.5 cm dilated. The baby is full-term, and we have about 2 weeks till the predicted due date.

A Real MySpace Page
Ok, I promise that I really do have a myspace page now where hopefully you can listen to some of my songs.

New Websites
My dad now has entered the blog world by creating Morning Sun. Please check it out, especially the post titled "Leland".
My wife has also renamed her craft business and set up a swanky new website thanks to bro-in-law, Erik. The new name is Little Knots and the website is www.littleknots.com. So easy to remember!
The previously mentioned brother in law also has a new website for reporting acts of violence from post-election Kenya. Check it out here.
By the way, I discovered a cool thing this past week: Google Reader. It's designed to set up a bunch of feeds from blogs and websites so you can see whenever one is updated. It sure beats going through every blog of my friends and family looking for any updates. With Reader, they come to me like emails in an inbox. Well, Google, I suppose you don't need my free advertising, but there it is.
