Thoughts, Reflections, and this weeks Cross Driven Radio..
Wow! Three posts in one day, a new record for me!
I just finished recording this weeks Cross Driven Radio show and I must say it was among the hardest shows I have done. If you read my previous post from today, the Associate Pastor from my previous church, Rev. Karen Blomberg passed away yesterday. Read more
Awesome Interviews….
Today was one of those days at work where that was the last place I wanted to be. It wasn’t because I don’t like my job, although I DO have those days. It wasn’t because I was eager to get the day over with, so we could go away to the beach for the weekend. Did I mention to you that I was asked to do the benediction at a friends retirement ceremony after 26 years in the Navy? I am looking forward to being there for that.
Those are great reasons for not wanting to be at work. I was so not in to being at work because I had 2 interviews with bloggers that are participating in the 40 Day Fast and I was so excited for these interviews. 1 was with Laura, whose blog I had not read before the fast, but now I am a big fan of. Her heart for the women of the Congo is very inspiring to me, and it shows in the interview.
The second interview was with Brody. Brody’s blog was among the first I had read and I have become hooked. I met Brody last year when I promoted a Shaun Groves concert at my church. That is also when I met Transition Pete. That was a great interview because he has a sincerity in his writing, and in talking with him that is just awesome. He really makes you feel at ease.
You will get to hear these interviews, along with P.D.Ross‘ interview over the next 2 weeks. Be sure to visit the blog on New Music Tuesday for a sneak preview podcast of exclusive audio that will only be heard on the podcast. I have 3 more interviews to record next week, so the coverage of the 40 Day Fast continues all the way to August 1st.
I just wanted to say Thank You to all of the people that have been following the coverage of the 40 Day Fast. It is always encouraging to hear people so passionate about the ministries and outreach organizations that they support that leaves me feeling like we are among a group of people that are being led by the spirit to do great things in the name of God. I am so blessed to be able to use my radio show and podcast to help you know a little more about these great people of God!
Weekend recap..
This was a great weekend. It started on Friday night. At 9:00 PDT was the debut of my first work on an FM radio station. I am doing what is known as voice tracking, and that basically means that I pre record my voice spots in advance and they go into automation software an they hit the air at the regularly scheduled time. Unlike Cross Driven Radio, I do not have control of the music that is played. It is fun to do and I will be doing it for as long as they will have me.
On Saturday, I spent all day at church. I was working as hospitality coordinator for the God-Song 2008 Songwriters Conference. I was responsible for organizing the food and snacks for the whole day. For breakfast it was a standard continental breakfast, and for lunch it was everybody’s favorite, Chic Fil-A. I had snacks out all day while the conference was going on.
It was at lunch that my wife Kathy and I experienced just how good God can be. When we had first gotten married, we had become friends with a couple down the hall, Susanna and Michael, after a year or so, they had moved out of the building and we had lost contact. It was at lunch on Saturday that we were reunited. We got to see their kids, and they met my daughter for the first time. Some would say its a small world, which compared to the kingdom of God it is, but He brought us to the same place for a reason, I’m sure of it. On one of my breaks, I went and joined the family and friends for a celebration for 2 very special babies. It was good to get to spend some time and get to know some of these families better.
Sunday was kind of a busy day. We went to Worship at 10:00, did Sunday chores and went to a 79th Birthday party for a real good friend. I also found out that I was selected to participate in the 40 Day Fast. Being a new blogger, I am super excited to do this. More on this later..
