After much patience from my wonderful team of audio/video/stage people, I have finally ordered more stage tape. I thought I'd pass along a great site that our Audio leader, Scott, sent along to me. I've ordered Gaffer's Tape before and this is the cheapest place I've seen. Here's what I ordered Monday.
God bless the wonders of Gaffer's Tape!
Recently a friend forwarded me the new Watermark website. I'm looking forward to their new album and really liked the look of the site. However, when I clicked on the about section, I found a sad note from Christy Nockels.
One of the things that drew both my wife and I to Nathan and Christy Nockels was their incredible testimony through the loss of a child. 6 years ago we had a miscarriage that really brought us closer together and closer to God. Through that time we would catch ourselves singing the old hymn "It is Well" as a source of encouragement. Soon after we ran across this song from Watermark: Glory Baby. We were hooked into their music from that point on. Addie and I saw them twice in one year as they toured through the Kansas City area. They are even better live than through a CD.
The sad news on the site is that this new upcoming album from Nathan and Christy Nockels (Watermark), will be their last. There is a higher calling on her life that is more important than any new song or CD. I applaud them both for making the decision to allow her to be the mommy she needs to be to both her kids. I know that we will always hear Christy Nockels on future Passion projects. If you've heard Matt Redman's Facedown CD, you've heard her giving all of those songs an edge through amazing background vocals. There really is no other vocalist I know of that is as talented as she. If I could ever meet them or talk to them, I'd just like to say thanks to both for their wonderful ministry over the last ten years. The music of Watermark will always have a special place in the life of our family.

Man I love being a Dad to three little girls. I also love being the husband of an incredibly gifted woman who communicates through writing better than anyone else I know. If you'd like to catch a glimpse of my family, check out my wife's blog at "Life With Little Women".
While I'm laid up in bed sick with the flu this week, I'm having fun tinkering with illustrator. If I can only figure out how to use something like this as my banner for this blog! If anybody can help me out here I'd much appreciate it. I'm getting the whole creating thing down, I just can't figure out how to apply it to certain things. I suppose as I continue to tinker it'll all come together. Drop a note with your suggestions on how to create a banner. I'm incredibly ignorant when it comes to measurements and what not.
Thanks!
Today I am sitting in a class on Adobe Illustrator Fundamentals offered through our local community college. The image to the left is my first creation during the class. WOOHOO! With this new knowledge, I will be able to create logos, modify advertisements, create jpeg files for websites and maybe bring about world peace through the perfect logo. :)
I am surprised that with my extreme lack of knowledge, I'm a little ahead than some of the folks taking the class. I'm excited about using this knowledge for our church. It'll cost a lot less to have the ability to change an ad without paying someone to "design/redesign" the ad. I've found that companies can charge $50 just modify an ad that only took 2 minutes to change. CRAZY! Ok, class is starting up again. Gotta go create more fascinating fake logos!
Anyone out there use illustrator?
We found out yesterday that we will recieve our temporary certificate of occupancy on March 30th! This means our first Sunday will be April 2nd. Two weeks before Easter. That's what we'd been praying for!
Here's a recent picture of our lobby. Our information kiosk will sit beneath this skylight.
Almost there!
