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, and Lisa came along with me to see. He did some newer stuff (King of Glory, Psalm 126, etc), and also did some other interesting songs like Let My Words Be Few (penned by Redman) and God’s Romance (by Martin Smith of Deliirous). Very interesting that he did God’s Romance, because I haven’t heard him do that one at all before, hah. I knew that I knew the song when we were singing it, but I couldn’t remember where it …

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 me to be
You were brusied and beaten
It was here You died and set me free

Let me dwell on the beauty of the cross
The cross on which You died.
Let me come before You humbly
Just to bow and worship at the foot of the cross
Just to worship at the cross

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 work with for Sanctuary, cuz they’re just awesome. Helen plays piano, Ed plays drums, Tiff and Janet sing, and I was leading and playing guitar. We only had one practice, that happened a few hours before, but it went really well. Mel Tang and Pablo spoke for us in the middle of the sets and spoke about Walking in the Spirit. They told about how in everyday situations we should be set on God and be walking in the …

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 Day and I really want to get back to recording! Ahh well, guess I’ll still have to wait a few days until everything settles down and I get the mixer back. That’ll be fun though. I should set some kinda release date for our CD….so that we don’t get it out later than expected, lol. Won’t set it yet, but I’ll talk to the crew and we’ll find a date and let ya know about it.
Ahhh, “Sanctuary” night is …
