Thoughts from behind the console. . .

So, I got to mix this weekend, all weekend, it was a good, different, moving weekend. We did a "low tech" weekend which didn't mean that there was that much different for me. I still had to make sure that everything sounded good, and it did. But I have to give credit to the awesome musicians who came prepared and did amazing jobs of leading people in worship, without great musicians I can't do my job right.

Greg. . . . . wow Greg kicked my ass every single service. The talk that Greg prepared was so thoughtful, insightful, and moving that I teared up every single service and had to still make sure that everything sounded good. And let me tell you that is hard.

But Greg said things that I needed to hear to prepare for Easter, he reminded me that the Cross is so much more than a holy relic, a piece of art that people associate with church. The cross is where we see a man go through the most excruciating pain for me, for you, for a broken world that for the most part seems to want nothing to do with Him. YET, He still took on the crap of the crap of the world, He took everything about our "2% SUCKING SELVES" and laid down His life for me.

The great thing is that it was an awesome reminder that the Cross is so much more than something to just put on top of a church, so much more than a cool tat- though it will be in my next piece. The cross is what made Grace possible, the cross made the best thing that ever happened to us possible.

So what does the cross mean to you. . . . . .

Dreams.. . . .

I've been having some weird dreams lately, the one I had tonight actually woke me up so much that I haven't been able to go back to sleep and it's already 5AM. . . . . I've been trying to figure out what the meaning is behind the dreams and watching movie trailers on quicktime. The dreams are not scary or anything like that, they just make me think about stuff. . . . . .

and "I'm on a boat" just came on Fuse. . . . . .
