D-now

hey guys, i just got done with an event at covenant church called d-now. our band from discovery played friday night and saturday morning and it was awesome. it was really neat to see how responsive the kids (and adults) were to the music and the whole event for that matter. i would say it was a real success. the whole congregation is such an important part of the worship experience. the band feeds off of the crowd response and in turn the crowd gets more excited and everyone has a good experience. i will encourage you guys to come to church sunday with a worshipful attitude that you can share and really expect to get a lot out of the service. i think it will be contagious.

weekly blog

hey everyone, i'm back. let me tell you something, it seem odd how this happens, but today while we were practicing for the service it just wouldn't gel. lots of people, including me, were missing notes and chords, and forgetting words and it seemed like everything was going wrong. after practice we got together it it seemed like everyone realized we weren't going to do it right today on our own. we got together and prayed and so after the worst practice we pull off the best version of the songs that we played this week. this has happened numerous times and it is really awesome how God bails us out. b/c we are in it for Him He doesn't let us look stupid(most of the time). 
Also did anyone notice the old organ that i found at the b&g club? i thought it was cool even though i can't really do much with it. 
next week is 90's worship week. i know some you are now thinking this is  one of the reasons why i come to this b/c so many churches are still stuck doing 90's "contemporary" music. i think it will be cool though i tried to pick out songs that were not so overplayed that you are sick of them, and also ones that you will like. here they are:

The noise we Make (Chris Tomlin)
Did you feel the mountians tremble (Delirious?)
Heart of worship (Matt Redman)
I could sing of your love forever (Delirious?)
Special: History Maker (Delirious?) how appropriate
Open the eyes of my heart (Sonicflood version)


i've decided to blog about my gear that i use on sunday. i'm sure you guys have all seen my extensive pedalboard and think what does all that do? so each week i am going to give a review of one of my pedals. so look for that to come later this week.

hey guys this is my first blog on my new laptop. an apple macbook! how many people enjoyed james (the drummer last week)? i thought he did really well, he was just filling in for dave, but i hope he can come back. Also i cannot tell you how surprised i was for the pastor appreciation gift i received, it certainly took me "buy" surprise.  I did put all of it in savings for the wedding, resisting the urge to spend it on musical gear. thanks you so much for all who helped with that. please keep Janelle and i in your prayers as we prepare for the upcoming wedding. Here are the songs for this week:
O, Praise Him(David Crowder)
Mighty to Save(Hillsong)
Here I am to worship(Tim Hughes)
Fire Fall down(Hillsong)
All Because of Jesus(Steve Fee)

weekly blog

hey everyboy i'm back to blogging. to start this weekend was awesome b/c it was fall break and i didn't do any school work at all (now school has started i realize i should have got something done). anyways i had a great time i visited wilmington after church on sunday and saw my family. i got to play some music with my brothers and play a little ping-pong with my dad and also spend time with janelle's family. the weather was of course amazing so that made for a great weekend.

back to sunday morning, very cool. it was good to see so many of you out there doing stuff to serve the community. i was picking up trash so i didn't have much interaction, but i kept picking up these little pieces of trash and i told them that if i didn't pick them up then probaly no one would. so that kept me going.

here are the songs:
All bow down(Chris Tomlin)
Because of You(Steve Fee)
How Great is our God(Chris Tomlin)
Glorious one(Steve Fee)
You never let Go (Matt Redman)

welcome friends

Guess what? I'm on the boards. Most of you know my most recent exciting news b/c I announced it in church, but for those of you who missed it as of last Friday night I am engaged to Janelle who has been my girlfriend for four years. It happened on the beach in Wilmington around 11:30 at night. She didn't know until I got down on one knee and asked the question will you marry me? And she said YES! We are both excited and we will let you know we we set a date.

This is my first attempt at blog and now it is a staff requirement to do at least one a week, so I am going to try. It is sometimes hard for me to check me email let alone blog so we'll see how this works out.
