The First Entry

Hey everyone,

Greetings and welcome to my blog. :)

As you may have guessed I'm the IT guy at my church and for those of you who are in that line of church work *tips hat* I'm right there with ya. I also help out with other things at church too due to being a tech guy. Greetings to all my fellow techies out there too. Granted people might not always see what you do nor give you thanks/praise, but from a fellow techie to another thanks for a job well done and keep it up! :D

Was reading an article in Worship Leader Magazine (June 2006 Issue and a very cool one I must say plus here's their website: http://www.worshipleader.com ) about blogging and thought I'd give this whole blog thing a go.


Ok, I'm rambling (hence the name of the blog lol) so now onto the "meat" as it were:



Today was a long day for me as well as numerous other people. At church we had a funeral service for one of our member's who recently passed away. Everything overall went well, and I must say that seeing a whole lot of people praising the Lord while lifting their hands to Celebrate, Jesus Celebrate is still in the back of my head. Pretty cool and a neat sight to see since I was in the back of the sanctuary running sound; that's how I was able to see it. Yet, later on in the day I was speaking with my Worship Director about some things and we got to talking about being connected in that sort of a setting. I stated that it was a mix of both worlds in that 1. I had a job to do/focus i.e. run the sound mix for the mini praise band that was playing 2. That I was saddened at the loss of the church member who passed away. I'm sure all (if not most) can identify with me and my Worship Director there on that note. Either you're all there doing what ya need to do or crying your eyes out unable to do the job ya need to do. I must say that our church will feel a loss with this member's passing; though as Pastor said we will see this member and all those who we love once again in heaven. :) All the more to spread the Good News to everyone we encounter so we don't have to say goodbye rather see ya later.



I'd also like to say a big thank you to all those who helped with this funeral service and the hard work others put into it. I know that it took time out of people's work and a decent chunk of time during practice for it as well as the day of itself. Thanks and a job well done. :)


Well, I think that's enough for my first post here. Check back again for more from my virtual blog desk.
