i just discovered something about myself. i begin all my writing here with well. interesting what comes from reading oneself. maybe that is what i need to do with my sermons -- listen a bit and see what i sound like. that might in and of itself lead me to some newpreachin.
enough of that, i want to seek anyone who has info on worship. i am searching to find ways of making worship a bit more exciting and worshipful. how can liturgy be left in the service and not become boring or stale???? what music is available for traditional musicians to use and do things a bit different to lift the spirit in music?????
what is happening in the world around us that is relevant to the church???? who or what is the church????
i have a large amount of questions and wonderings so will stop with that and add some new stuff next time.

Well i am approaching the end of vacation a week early. thinking about next sunday and what i might do to enlighten worship and make it relavant. i serve a lightly liturgical church and hope to redirect some emphasis to the things we base our faith on. things like baptism, communion, adn a basic faith in Jesus Christ.
the rain across the plains has a profuound effect on all who live here. some are praying it will stop (both farmers and others) some are praying it will only pause for a bit so the sun will shine and then some more rain. i am of the pause people, afraid to say stop for fear it will.
rambling along i know but still learning how to blog. enough said for now WaynO

Well it must not be to exciting to read me no hits at all. Oh well Zig Ziggler said whatever is worth doing is worth doing until you get it right.
thinking about how to preach this weekend and it is trinity sunday. when we celebrate that God is in three tangible entities but all only one. confuses me but helps me think about a God who is accessible and personel. i believe in lots of strange things and it gets confirmed occassionally when i encounter a lost soul or a found soul that is searching.
met a man just yesterday traveling home after a 20 year search for daughters abducted by their mother. he found them and dissappointment, they were into drugs and used him for money at the first moment. looking for hope and yet somehow finding relief in God. he met a pastor, pastor K who was a real man and a real pastor. one who lead this soul to know about salvation and hope. Pastor K is dying, my prayers for his comfort.
imagine life, imagine hope, imagine despair. imagine God --- in your spirit alive and well.
never alone WaynO
