You may or may not have heard about my friends Wade and Ferris and their 2 little girls that were born 3 months prematurely last Wednesday night. If not, please read the story here. This statement has been echoing recently: “What you do reveals what you believe about God regardless of what you say.”
If you haven’t yet, you’ll probably want to go and check out the staff twitter that’s regularly updating on Pastor Steven’s blog. Keep track of what everybody’s doing all the time.
In other, slightly less interesting news, I’d definitely like to work…possibly live in one of these someday.
So I posted earlier about the sick loop Aaron created for one of the songs we did this past week…now Wes, one of our producers, has posted a video of it–(rather terrible quality…we didn’t capture it with our main cameras)–but at least you get to hear Aaron’s solo. Enjoy.

So this past Sunday we had a different element in our worship experience. Aaron Robertson, one of our keys players, and loop-making-extrordanair, created a sample of Hillsong’s tune “To Know Your Name.” He then layered parts live as the song progressed and had a smokin’ keys solo. yes. smokin’. He played, I sang, and the we had names of God scrolling behind us on the screens the whole time. It was a cool way to illustrate the theme our of series Small Is the New Big. Always a great idea to try new ways of creating unique experiences with God. Check out part of Aaron’s loop (minus vocals and his live elements).
Beth and I watched I Am Legend again over the weekend. We saw it with some friends when it first came out, and I loved the closing monologue.
–On speaking of Robert Neville (the scientist who dedicated his life to finding the cure to the virus that left only 1% of the world’s population unaffected)
“He…discovered the cure for the restoration of humanity…and gave his life to defend it. We are his legacy. This is his legend. Light up the darkness.”
Still a little over 6 weeks away until Coldplay’s new record is out, they’re appeasing the masses with a free downloadable single from the new “Spanish-influenced” album for one week only starting tomorrow, April 29. Grab it from their site.
…and to add to the goodness, tomorrow is free cone day from Ben and Jerry’s.
I am a husband. My wife is beautiful. Her name is Beth. I am a musician. I think melodies are pretty. Capris are nice in the springtime. I currently lead worship at Elevation Church in Charlotte NC. I also have a pop rock project titled Starbore.
