Getting Going

So here is the first post on the "officious" Worship Leader blog. I'm sure that it will go through some transformations, but if you are seeing this, you will always be able to say, "I saw the first rough attempt." A mighty claim, to be sure.

Of course, we kind of like the rough nature of the blogging beast, so it might not change all that much. Because one of the main functions of Slake will be to talk together, like normal people (normal people who also happen to have a shared interest in quick little snapshots into the devotional arts and find some value in keeping the conversation going).

Anyway, I'll be blogging in the upcoming week while I'm in Austin at the National Worship Leader Conference (July 21-24). And as i have a low tolerance for anything dull, you can rest assured that the posts will be multi-media (not mulit-media, which is one of my favorite spelling errors that made it into the magazine, and I can only assume is any form of media that is business up front and party in the back).

oh, and this is me.

rest assured again (if you weren't already completely lounging in your assurance), I don't usually look this cool. I got my hair cut today and this was the last of about 37 pictures I just took with my iPhone.

Alright, check back soon, as this is only the beginning.

"...business up front and party in the back" that's awesome! I've never heard of a mullet described that way! But when I look back at the eighties and see so many rock and roll celebrities sporting them (Phil Collins, Joe Elliot, Richard Marx, John Stamos and so many others) I just have to wonder "What were we thinking?" I'm glad that we don't face this kind of celebrity trend setting in worship music! =)

This was my 2nd year and just like last year it was amazing. The time to just sit back and be a sponge and worship without worry of a setlist, soundcheck, or anything else but giving it all back to my Savior can never be put into words. Thanks once again to all who put this together. I am looking forward to next year already.
