blah, for some reason, my posts don’t always show up. I knew I posted those last two entries, but they never came up…weird… Anyways, just posting about Steve Fee’s CD again. He rocked the house at OneDay. On his CD he does a Jason Wade cover (If you don’t know who Jason Wade is, he’s the lead singer of Lifehouse =) ). The song is called Revolution Cry. When passion …
Worship
Heh, well not really, the title just sounded cool and I hoped you would read it. I love Steve’s CD. Go buy it now!! Click here to buy!. It’s just super. 11 songs, straight from Steve’s heart to God’s, (but songs we can all love and grab on to as well). I’m kinda debating on doing one of them this Sunday (that What Else Can I Do song). This is …
Just ordered Steve Fee’s CD “Sacred Space” this week. (It came out tuesday actually, ordered it tuesday as well). It hasn’t come yet though. Lots of great songs on it. Out of like 12 songs, I haven’t heard like 3 of them, and the rest of them I love, and would love to incorporate into my worship when I lead. I jammed with JD and Helen today after worship practice …
“Are we in trouble??” is what one person in our congregation asked when they heard that our district superintended of the Assembilies of God was coming to visit (well and speak). No we weren’t in trouble, but rather he came with a very good message that talked about the Multi-Purpose facility that’s to come. If you haven’t heard, at our church we’re planning a expansion of the 2nd floor. We’re …
Here are the words, let it capture you. Gosh, I want to use this for worship some time, but not sure when yet… What Else Can I Do But Worship Your love for me is a healing comfort for meYour grace to me is a matchless gift to meYour power in me is a mighty river in me At the end of the day with the setting of the sunAfter …
This is another Steve Fee written song, done in worship at 722 Beauty of Heaven by Steve Fee Put praise upon my lips new each dayAnd lift my feet up from the pit out of the clayAnd set me upon the rock of my salvationLet the rhythm in my heart that beats in YoursGive me a melody so sweet and pureAnd let it serve as a call to all the …
heh, I really did. It was to write down things that I wanted to post in my livejournal. Weird eh? anyways, yeah….employees who steal from Christian store… and are sent to BOOT CAMP! on the next Maury! Ok, lesse what’s first…. Merry Christmas! haha, that was like from last YEAR (2002). Uhm, yeah. Christmas was a blast. Got some cash, some Matrix clothes from the next movie, and got a …
hah, well listening to bands like the David Crowder Band and Exit 10, it really wants me to have a band with a set group of musicians to play with. Ones who most of all love to worship, and also have great talent. So yeah, If you’re interested in being part of the Randall Wong Band, let me know, haha. =P I just downloaded like 20 new mp3s from Thad’s server. …
Hah, dunno why I had that title. Think it was just because I was listening to a Third Day CD in the car on the way to the meeting. Well it’s WAAY past the meeting now, but yeah….hah. I came back, went to sleep, then woke back up, and have been working on things. Here goes some things that happened today that I’ll post on. 7:22, the bible study that …
Well I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately (err, that sounds redundant, doesn’t it?). And I thought this about my situation: Why am I being so stubborn and am almost to the point of giving up? I mean I didn’t lead worship this past Sunday, because I couldn’t play guitar. I didn’t lead worship today at fellowship, cuz of my thumb as well. But so what if I can’t …
Hah, when I was at work, I was talking with a Pastor from a somewhat new church down here in Palo Alto about worship, and about new songs and such (he’s looking for whatever stuff is really new, but I couldn’t offer too too much, He did end up buying Shane Barnard, Matt Redman, and Darrell Evans upon my suggestions though =) ). Anyways, that just spurred me tonight to …
Just getting things ready for tonight’s worship. A lot of stuff going on. We have two sets of stuff, one 15 and one 20 minute set (why do I feel like I’ve talked about this earlier….hrm…). Anyways, yeah, it should be interesting. I only have one kinda faster song, since we’re having a memorial kinda thing with more of a solemn worship-ish feel to it with it being the 1 …
Wow, just downloaded this new client called Semagic. It works really well. It kinda looks like a whole email client, but it works just for LiveJournal entries. Well I’ve been on LJ now for over a year, kinda weird. I don’t have all that many posts, as opposed to some people, who I know have like a gazillion posts on this place. For a long while, I just posted once …
Well today at work we got in the new Chris Tomlin album. Even though it’s not supposed to go on sale until next tuesday, I snuck a copy out. whooooo. It’s pretty good, but I didn’t intially hear too many usable songs for worship. It’s different from his first, as it seems to have a few more “rockish” tunes on it, with fast breaks, and “air drops” as I call …
Chris Tomlin’s new album comes out September 10th, 2002, and it’s entitled “Not To Us”. I got a pre-release copy from work with just 5 songs on it, but it sounds pretty great. As I played the CD twice in the store last night (when I first got it) two people asked about it already! haha. So looks like it’ll be a great CD. People liked Chris’ voice a lot, …
And how can I stand here with YouAnd not be moved by YouWould You tell me how could it beAny better than this Cause You’re all I want, all I needYou’re everything, everythingYou’re all I want, all I needYou’re everything, everything
Hrm, well for some updates, I recently picked up some new studio equipment stuff (well not recently, but within the last 2 months or so). I broke down and bought a mixer. It’s a really nice one, I dunno if I talked about it earlier or not. It’s a Behringer unit, with 12 channels, 6 xlrs, whoo. And it has built in effects! So I can add echo, delay, reverb, …
Well today is Easter. The day in which Jesus rose again. Thank you Lord for dying for me, that you went before us for all of our sins. I wanna be held by you, just rest in your arms. Lord, be my strength and my guidance. Take my tears and give me a joy from You. I think back to a saying that I heard somewhere. “Never Lose the Wonder.” …
So we went down to Santa Cruz to visit Graceland, cuz David Crowder and Band were gonna be there. Now I originally thought it was going to be a concert, but it ended up just being a service, and they were the guest worship leaders for the night. Ahh, it was still ok. I went around, and met and talked with all the guys, and got them to sign my …
Wow, the 2nd day of his CD release, and we’ve already sold about 15 or more copies. We sold 10 yesterday, as I recorded, and I’m anxicously awaiting to see how many we sound today. Looks like the CD is doing extremely well. Well I found out today through some other Sixsteps Reps that Chris Tomlin did buy a Chet Atkins SST guitar. This story goes back a few …
Winter Camp is in a few days. I still don’t remember our speakers name for it. Pastor Sandra, myself, Lisa, and Reese are driving. John-David and I are doing worship, and I’ll be bringing up my Chet Atkins, whooo. I’ll have a lil fun with that, and doing backup singing, though I’m not that great at harmonies, I’ll have to figure something out. I’m not quite sure what range …
Well I finished up two songs tonight. Well…then again, “finished” is a term used lightly. As the bass, electric, drums, etc, parts aren’t done on it yet (as well as the vocals too, doh). The two songs I did tonight were “We Are Hungry” and “Pour Out My Heart.” Now the neat thing about these two songs are this, I decided to extend them a lil, by doing something …
Wow, what a busy day yesterday and today. We’re busy doing returns about the whole story, because of Christmas. Whatever didn’t sell, we’re trying to sell back to the company that we ordered it from (which is kinda neat, thought they would just make us store it till next year, lol). Anyways, since I’m now in the music department, I was busy doing a bunch of Christmas returns. We …
Well the recording is nicely on it’s way. I did the guitar tracks for “Our Love is Loud” though it’s not one of the original songs I picked, I do really like the song, and may include it with this AACF CD (if it doesn’t go on there, it definately will go on my own cd, hehehe). I figured out the chords a few nights ago when 722 did …
! Hehe, yes the news is, that I bought the Chet Atkins SST model guitar. I bought it actually the week of Thanksgiving, that tuesday before hand I believe. It ends up that it was the same day that I recieved my Taylor last year (It was shipped to my parents house the tuesday before thanksgiving last year). I’ve been playing with it a lot, and I really like it. …
Well some big news is that I got to see Charlie Hall again at an event called “Heal Our Land”. What a timely event named that. The pastor who organized the whole thing, actually started with that theme name 9 months ago, but only God knew of the incidents that would happen in America, just 4 days prior to the concert of worship. Charlie did an excellent job as usual, …
Hrm, after a talk with Lisa today, I think I’ll release a few of my songs/poems on this LiveJournal thingy. Enjoy, give your responses to me on AIM (WarbladeX) or leave a comment. =) Oh and of course these are as always a work on progress and never finished till I say so. =) “Beauty of the Cross” I’ll meet You at the cross, Lord Because that’s where You want …
Hah, wow, I’m a sucker. Last night I fell asleep at 9pm watching X-files. I woke up at like 12pm, then went back to sleep until about 9 this morning. How pitiful. Seeing how I usually sleep at like 1-2 on most weeknights in San Jose, it’s pretty funny. Friday night’s “Sanctuary” went really well! I was kinda surprised, but I absolutely love the team of guys and girls that …
I may head out to Berean later today and check out Vineyard’s Burn Service’s latest cd, Never Looking Back. I truely enjoyed their first two releases “Your Love Reaches Me” and “The Burn Service”. Great cds with some awesome guitar and youth oriented stuff. =) Prolly see if that accompiment track is over at Berean also, not sure if it would be though. Reading through some Live Journals of Chris …
Well looks like the days of Napster may be over. I tried looking for some stuff today and nothing showed up on ALL of my searches. So either Napster just isn’t working anymore, or they’re blocking a whole lotta stuff. Blah, oh well. I found some really good mp3s of worship stuff that Steve Fee and Candi Pearson did in their Big Stuf Band or Exit 10. Sounds really good, …
Hrm, still don’t know exactly what I’m playing tonite for worship. Ahh well. Guess I’ll just bring the Taylor along (probably what I’m playing). No other real cool updates or anything, pretty boring uneventful day, hehe. current mood: bored
Hrm, ok, here goes my nice weekend update. Wow, college people are back! Justin and Clifford got back on Friday Night, Mel came back on Saturday night. I hung out with Cliff on Saturday, and went to go see The Mummy Returns with Lisa, and Ryan. It was an entertaining movie, but had to pay 10$ at the parking lot, but that’s ok, since Lisa got us in for free …
I felt like I’m in the mood for some old school worship, so I went into the old archives of AACF and pulled out some goodies. The songs we’re doing tonight are Light the Fire, Glory Honor Power, Psalm 121, Christ In Me, and Holy and Anointed One. Good stuff, hehehe. Hopefully if you read this you can come join us out in San Jose State University’s Student Union on …
Well finally one of my friends signed up for LiveJournal.com, a cool site if I do say so myself. I can express myself a lot with it (even thou no one might ever read this, lol). But anyways, if ya want, check out his page at http://www.livejournal.com/users/Brentbass/ He’s a guy named Brent from the CGN (Christian Guitar Network) message boards found at www.christianguitarnetwork.com =) Other than that, I still gotta …
The best place to find out about the 268 Alliance and everything about Passion. Passion is a organization that supports college students in bringing them together for doing the Lord’s work. I attended last years OneDay event out in Memphis, TN, and it was great! (I still have pictures from there too, if you’ve never seen them). Met some great friends there who I may see this summer in NY …
