    Your website and master list are very encouraging. We use most of the songs listed and have a heart for reaching His people - new, old, and not yet born into the kingdom - through music, drama and dance. Thanks for giving us an outlet to share and discover more about Christ and worship of Him together.

    Hey -
    I want to thank you for linking back to my blog at http://www.fredmckinnon.com. What a blessing. I’m adding a link back to you as well.

    Also, as a fellow worshiper and blogger, would you consider helping me spread the word about our new forum called The Worship Community? It’s a forum to discuss “everything worship” - still in pre-launch, the forum is fully functional, it just hasn’t been “skinned’ with the logo and design yet. We’ve already got some awesome topics ongoing.

    I hope you’ll join and spread the word here on your blog, etc.

    For the Kingdom,

    Be Real. Be open. Be Broken.

    Wow, that resonates within me. I was praying a while back before our Sunday service and I found myself praying… “Lord, be real…” I prayed this three or four times. Then I heard in my spirit with absolute clarity – “if you’ll be real”. It hit me like a truck. God can only be real as we learn to be the same. He can only draw near as we do the same. Wow. It’s changed me.

    Was there a sermon to go along with your posting? I’d love to hear it.

    Be Loved.

    Thanks for posting the widget. However, I didn’t see an e-mail address. Could you please post that somewhere?

  16. Posted November 20, 2007 at 3:21 pm | Permalink

    Jean…do you mean the web addy that the widget put below it or my email address?
    I can send you mine…as far as the address it put below it…I kept it off just because it didn’t look very good and the widget takes you to the site anyway

    FYI, Tracie loves my banner as well :)

    Don’t worry though, I made sure I went over and told her who to thank. What’s funny is I come over here and apparently she likes your banner as well! HAHAHA. What a coincidence!

    I just started out leading worship at a Lutheran church. I have a charismatic background. I think it is cool how God can take a loud and bold girl into an environment and change the atmosphere with his HolySpirit. Still teaching me how to be quiet and still to hear his lead. You cant just go into a place like this and blow them away.
    I am interested in knowing what kind of equipment I should look into (mics and amps??) Since the church only has mics for their chuior. I have been playing with a very small mic and my very small portable amp. I play acoustic/electric guitar.
    Thank you and Gods blessing!!

    Hi Joel, forgive me if I’ve already emailed… couldn’t remember. But, wanted to find out if you would like for me to add you to my servicing list to receive review copies of CDs and some dvds and resource products. If so, just shoot back your mailing address.

    how was you time away with the group?

    Man, I love what you’ve done with Sandbox! I’m a big fan of Plaintxt’s themes and use Blogtxt on my site. Looks like you’ve made some major tweaks to their original Sandbox theme. Have you thought about releasing your version to others?

    Dear Sir,
    My name is Joshua Burke ans we have Started a Forum for the St. Michael’s Seminary Students and was wondering if you would like to get involved… As you may know St. Michael’s Seminary runs a lot of Satelite Campuses and we needed a way to connect to our fellow students on current issues, Study materials, and ohter elements pertaining to the ICCEC… Our goal is to get the St. Michel’s students connected and use the Proverb of “Iron sharpening Iron”… Let me know if you would like to get involved or at the very least spread the word about the St. Michael’s Seminary Students Forum.
