So i think that instead of trying to get on and type everyday then getting dissapointed with myself for not doing it, instead i think that i am just gonna try to wrote once a week about the highlightof the week or what God has been doing aorund me and through me.  Since Patrick is about 30 feet away from me playing drums at the moment and has no idea that i am typing this i gotta dawg him a little….. i mean geese dude are you really gonna tell us about everything you do, with your 3 blogs a day ha ha…..

K now down to the meat.  I know that i am not one of the best servants in the world but believe me jay i do try half heartedly at best.  Well to catch you guys up a little on saturday night jay was telling me about what he really wanted to do at curch on sunday and i was all about it as i usually am since jay is one of my spiritual leaders in my life.  Well on the bus ride home that night i started feeling convicted about some stuff.  Maybe its jeliousy or maybe this is truley how i feel deep down inside in my heart, but i know that for whatever reason i do feel this way.  i harp and moan about northpoint spending so much money on production and making it a huge deal, i think that i heard somewhere that northpoint has something like a 200million dollar budget and the thing that gets me hot about that is that they spend every bit of that money on salery's and production and buiding up the church which is great in its own right, and i am sure that a little of there money is spent on missions but really, just as the guy at your seminar (jay) said about the vistitors and how much you are willing to bring folks into the church, however i would really be interested in seeing the behind the seens numbers on how many people come time after time and then how many other people have left there church for whatever reason and started going there.  With that said i think that they may be spending a little to much on inreach and not enough on outreach.  Well i think what i am trying to get at is that alot of time the production of a service clouds people veiw of the heart of what is going on.  And there for making the service more of a show and not enough of a worship service, anyone go to church expecting a concert on sundays????? (Chris Tomlin???)  Dave herndon, just playing couldn't leave you out ha ha.  But with a heart of dissatisfaction like that then why do i run sound on sundays, you think that maybe just a gymbay and an acoustic guitar unplugged maybe the answer but i dissagree, what we have going on at the chapel is bringin in unchurched people which is what we are all about so keep doing what we are doing i suppose.  However with my lack of attendance at church lately and the sound booth specifically David and Jay i know are getting a little frustrated so instead of coming at me and scolding me for me Jay sat down and said to me, what can we do to better suite you and you gifts and abilities.  he told me that when he started ministy he decided he wouldn't manage people that help him and that he put in there postions but yet disciple and encourage people that feel and know where the could best serve the Lord.  With that said i am reminded of a verse in hebrews, And let us consider how we spur one another on towards love and good deeds.  So jay where you right to confront me and explain your heart, most definatley, thank you so much for following Christ and letting him be your example
