I don't think that the show is encouraging the right things, especially in younger singers, who are hoping/trying/desiring to be a vocalist. I think the show is having a negative affect when it comes to "what sounds good." It's making kids think that they have to belt and scream in order to "have a good voice." Maybe I'm wrong, but none of the contestants do anything to show off a more delicate side of the voice. Women don't flip into their head voices, guys are screaming to hit high notes, and don't even get me started on Sanjaya. Seriously? Maybe…

to our new sanctuary. What an awesome time in the life of the church. If you haven't been by, come check it out - Sundays 8:00 and 10:45.

that they're concerned because in 2010 they're going to shut down the space shuttle program, and won't have the new program up until 2015, so they'll have to rely on Russian technology to get supplies and personnel to the space station. The new program, they say, will be able to take us to the moon. Seriously, you have to ask yourself why they're going to shut our program down in order to build a vehicle that will take us to the moon. I thought we already went there?

. . . that they could get the audio right. Ok - so after the opening credits, we're going live with Ryan's mic. Standby, and Go. Go. Yes, now. Go now.

I just thought it was funny. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Hint: It's from the dumbest show in America.

Why is everyone so down on Prince for his performance at the SuperBowl? Face it, He's one of the most talented performers/singers/songwriters of the last 30 years. He's one of the few that can play and sing what he writes, on any instrument, and is talented enough to go on stage, in the rain, and not lip-sync.Compare that to Billy's national anthem rendition. Ever heard of AutoTune? If you've never heard the effects of strong autotune on a live poor vocal performance, you heard it the other night. If you don't know what autotune is, ask an audio engineer. Then…

It was yesterday?But seriously. I'm reading and hearing of the NFL "cracking down" on churches that were displaying the SuperBowl on "more than one screen" or using the words "Super Bowl" to describe a party. Apparently new regulations went info effect to prohibit showing the SuperBowl, in churches, on more than one screen. And that one screen can't be any bigger than 55"? Since when did the taxpayers stop funding the public airways? I thought CBS was available for FREE over the air? I think the NFL is ridiculous.

If you're in ministry, what are you passionate about? Learning? Musical excellence? Cool technology and gadgets? Stage time? Good singing voice? Or is your passion found in the people around you - the people that God has called you to minister to? My passion is in my volunteers. Nothing thrills me more than to get volunteers plugged in so they are able to play, sing, run technology, and do it to the best of their ability. God has called them to a specific purpose, and it thrills me to no end to be able to join them as they spend…
