A Bunch of Stuff

Best seat in the house

You will hear a lot of worship leaders/directors say that they have the best seat in the house. I agree with this to an extent and have done my share of making this comment. Last night I thought that very thing while I was directing our girls in the sing song show. It amazing to be standing in front of them and get to hear and see all of the hard work they have put into the show! I can't wait for next weekend.

But as much fun as it is to be in front and get to hear everyone worshipping with all their hearts I was pleased to be a part of the audience today. This is the first Friday in the last 3 that I have not been on the praise team. Now don't get me wrong, I love singing on the praise team and I praise God for the opportunities he gives me to glorify him with the gift he has given me but today I enjoyed sitting with my friends and worshipping with them from the "general seating."

When I Get Where I'm Going

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that
I'm gonna do Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

The middle verse of this song was on the radio when I got in my car yesterday and I just felt the happiness the song implies. Seeing my granddad again in heaven, hugging him and walking with him. That will be a good day.

Bill and Judy Sample

In my counseling class we did a little bit of role playing on Wednesday. We are working through Prepare/Enrich so William and Judy are the sample couple we are looking at. In class we were in groups of 3 and all got the opportunity to role play each position. I think I did a pretty good job counseling and playing the role of Judy, I don't however typically pretend I'm a guy so it was interesting to let the Bill out in me.

I tried the deep voice but got laughed/smiled at so I dropped the voice as It was my turn to tell my future wife, Judy (played by Jonathan) what I wish she would do differently or more often. It was interesting and fun. For a while I thought I was gonna lose my fiancee' as she experienced some sort of hot flashes and walked away, but she came back and we were able to continue work on our communication. Thanks goes out to counselor McCall for his amazing guidance.
