  the perils of editing CATHARSIS: one last pass taking all of the crap out of a movie you didn't like putting together in the first place. DISAPPOINTMENT: movie length start: 1hr 45 ending length 1hr 32 It is fun throwing stuff away though. Like cleaning a closet. chopping talk of "i'm the electrical uh, electric um, or i guess electrical engineer here at . . .
and i guess i handle all the electric passes that go through me" It makes me wonder what the crap i was thinking when i left it in in the first place. ON ANOTHER NOTE: middle school worship Received a good comment from Joshua Neds-Fox (no relation) on the struggles of middle school worship leading. JNF was my predecessor at the Rock for several years, so his opinion, as in most cases, weighs in with high respect. He says it's worth it. That something is changing. Something is happening.
kids hearts are . . . ?? I guess someone has to do it. I mean, i'm at the vineyard right?
It's not like we can make a sandwich here without a half hour of worship before hand. I guess i just don't get it. Leading worship is for people to engage their hearts in giving thanks to God. If kids don't know, or don't want to do that, then there is no leading going on. Maybe the roll is better coined as worship teacher (yeah i want that title like i want bells around the edge of garment and a rope tied to my feet to pull me out when i fall dead) Or maybe worship modeler. Thats more palatable.
But if i'm modeling, then i'm facing the wrong direction, i should have my back turned to the kids, facing the same direction, symbolically toward "Jesus" but actually toward the screen so i can read the words. Either way, this week is going to be packed out with guests.
