BST's Blog

It has been one nutty day. I don't have much time to blog, but wanted to share a couple of thoughts quickly.

This morning I met with Melissa who will be doing some vocal therapy with me. It relieved me and helped me not worry so much. I know it's what I need. I just want the INSTANT fix.

I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with  Jen Lemen today.  Jen was such an encouragement. We've played phone tag for weeks. She is involved in the Emergent Women's Leadership group and is just a kindred spirit in wanting to get to the heart of following Jesus. I would love for her to come speak at a ZOE conference sometime.

I went out to The Factory in Franklin.  I had our HUGE Jesus picture that the Maxwell's did for us at Easter framed. Any guesses how much that thing cost? Sheesh. It will be worth it though. It looks great in the sanctuary.

I am headed out to Paragon Studios in a sec to finish up some mixing with Fred Paragano and John Mays. Every time I am in that studio I just can't help but gawk. It's truly unreal.

Tonight we're spending time at the most awesome outdoor pool at our YMCA. They have all sorts of great things for kids and loud music playing (usually Elvis or Beach Boys) and hot dogs and stuff. It should be fun.

One last thing. As I was listening to Maddie's video of Little Mermaid today (for the 15,000th time) something hit me. That song that starts.."Look at this stuff..." kills me in places. I mean come on...the girl's got gadgets and gizmos a plenty. She's got whozits and whatzits galore. She's even got 20 thing-a-ma-bobs. But she isn't satisfied with any of it. She says... "But who cares? No big deal! I want MORE!!!" It just hit me how true that is for so many of us. Not that I am spiritualizing Ariel, but geez, people! That could be most of North America's theme song! Help us, Lord!
