I am still trying to digest my thoughts on church this morning.  The whole morning never felt settled to me.  There were some things that would lead me to feel that way but things never found their groove.  May be it was me… I’m not sure.

We had some technical problems this morning.  The biggest being that none of the instruments could go through the house.  Meaning that the sound guy (me) had no control over the instruments once we got started.  All adjustments had to be made before service.  The monitors were acting like the house speakers which meant Marty’s lavaliere mic was feeding back so we had to unplug them for the service.  But God is awesome and he did his thing in spite of us.

Marty spoke about feeling in adequate for the call that God placed on his life.  He used great examples of different biblical figures who encountered some similar struggles.  And how God used them despite their short comings.  I think we all need to remember that God uses broken vessels.  And most often it is our cracks and blemishes that bring him the greatest glory.

Back to the band.  They did a great job in spite of the technological set backs.  They really kept their heads in the game.  I think I might sabotage things each week to keep us on our toes.  They did seem a little distracted but I think the heart of the songs shown through.  I intentionally didn’t say “the heart o worship” as we sang that song today.  It really brought the truth of that song out.  And it was good to have Al hear for his first of many back to back appearances.  Although we should still be in prayer for him and Erica as they search for a new permanent residence and continue to unpack.  Also Al starts his new job tomorrow.

 All in all I thought it was another awesome week to be at Fellowship Church.  Some times you need to be set out of your groove and left feeling unsettled.

Later,

Billy
