matthew 8:23-27

"And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”


If only we knew who He really was. I think it would make a difference.

a few weeks ago I helped lead worship at a church outside of the Raleigh area. When we were setting up, their sound tech was helping us. He asked, "does anyone need anything?". I replied, "I need a power strip..."

He said, "I'm a sound man, not an electrician..."


I thought, but did not say, "don't worry, I won't ask you to show me how to use it..."

Then I got to thinking, maybe this is a problem that I didn't know about...so I've attached a picture...just in case you don't know what a power strip is.

i have walked casually
and comfortably into the garden
i have stood on holy ground
with a heart like a stone

20/20 conference

This past weekend, we (Daniel, Shelly, James, Pat, Josh, and myself) lead worship at the 20/20 conference hosted by Southeastern Seminary. It was a blast! C.J. Mahaney opened Friday night with an awesome message and the weekend just kept getting better!

I've posted a few pictures to give you (both of my readers) a quick peek!
