So today was my first day as "worship leader" at Shiloh in GR. And it was good. The people at this church...no...this community of Christ lovers is amazing. There is real passion and real hunger in the people. There is a desire for more God in every breath and every song and every word. I've missed this. I've needed this. More than I thought. And here's something else really great; I'm overflowing with ideas...and they like them. A community that is not satisfied with a weekly routine! WOO! WEE! WOO! (it's a siren) But I miss everyone. I miss our community. I miss tip and video games and settlers and pizza and jam sessions that don't have to be outlined (which...in the current format...I do have to outline what I want every musician to do at Shiloh. Mostly. Because many of them are not doing what they are really good at and enjoy. That will change though). But things change. The ministry spreads as people part. I pray that all of you would live in a way that is worth Christ dying for. Or...try to. WANT to. It's hard to actually acomplish. But if our every intention is for Christ...look out. ~Josh "Storming the gates of Hell with a water pistol." |
