So, I haven't created anything in awhile. It feels very weird, it's like apart of me is not living right now. I want to make music, create experience's, and just explore the mind that God has given me. But, I also need to re-create myself at the same time/before I can completely figure out what God wants me to do with myself, how am I doing this?
I'm going to try and read more, explore myself more and just enjoy what God has given me.
Here's to re-creating Steve. . . . . .

Re: The new traditional church
This is a response to an article I read over at monty hobson's little piece of the interwebs.
It states that more churches should be involving the hip-hop/r&b genre into their worship services because itunes says that a good portion of the people who buy their music on itunes purchase hip-hop. I'm not giving the right numbers but that's not really the point.
IF the Church were to embrace hip-hop/r&b as a style of music to be used during corporate worship wouldn't it bring up the question, "how do people sing along with someone rapping or flowing?" To me the music style used in worship does matter, but not to the point that people can't sing with it.
Of course all this to say I don't think that I will ever find my "style" of worship this side of heaven. I can adapt and meet God in most styles of music. But for me to enjoy and not have to stop thinking to worship I need music with a little more grit and punch to it. And then there's the whole function of how to mix it well for a worship service.
Which is another topic for another night? Maybe I will start adding to this blog more often again. . . . . . .
