I think You Tube has been hacked. 14 of the top 16 most viewed videos are of the same thing.
Weird Right?! Unless Soccer is really that popular.

The Creative Life
This weekend I had the opportunity to go up to Washington D.C. for Passion’s regional conference. It was amazing. Louie Giglio and Francis Chan spoke. They were both amazing. Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, and Charlie Hall led worship. I had breifly previewed this year’s CD “God of This City”. I was a little worried because about half the CD had already been released from Fee, Tomlin, and Crowder. The CD though is still worth it. The “God of This City” is song is worth buying the entire album. The song has an amazing story behind it.
The conference was awesome, but I REALLY didn’t want to miss the opening week of The Price is Right at Discovery! So after the conference was over on Saturday night I headed back to North Carolina. It was around Midnight when I left. The only problem was that during the last section my left contact had started to bother me. I went back to the hotel and it was completely blood red. I thought something was in so I washed it out… but the irritation would leave. So somehow at the conference I got pick eye! Crazy fun driving back to NC with one contact. (It really was a smooth drive – no problems)
I got back around 4am and set my alarm for 6am to head over to DC to set up some lighting. I don’t know what happend, but I noticed my room was very bright. So I jumped out of bed and found it to be 11:15. I was very disoriented, because I had set my iPod alarm and my cell phone alarm. My iPod alarm was off and my cell phone was underneath my bed open! I have no recollection of anything. I knew I should have camped out in the Boys and Girls Club!
I had missed discovery, but I found my eye to still be crazy inflamed. This is not good because I wear contacts. I went to university health services around 11:30 am (they closed at noon). They didn’t give me anything for it, but my Mom being a teacher didn’t like that! She said that when kids get pink eye they don’t even let them go to school until they get a antibacterial eye drop. So right now I am in Greenville’s only urgent care place trying to get a prescription…
….I am done at the urgent care. 5 HOURS LATER!
Its time for a shower and eye drops!
If you have ever been to C3 you know how Ed likes to poke fun at Joel… Hilarious!
The C3 Conference (that I blogged about earlier) down at Fellowship Church is airing there Celebration Nights LIVE on Daystar. I don’t get Daystar so I am watching via the internet
Check it out!
I have gotten my RockBand fasting To Do list down to about 15 items. I have found some people have more time on there hands then me.
I think this guy has got some time!
Today was a really awesome day at Discovery.
We wrapped up our iLife series today with iWill and a Baptism.
Today we used a real baptistry. Not one of those funky casket style ones, or the discovery traditional dunking tank.
Today affirmed for me the importance of lighting in a service. The stage was pretty dim when jason was speaking. I’m working on the solution to that.
We had a productive sound meeting. I think I am going to suggest we do like Gary Lamb and bring in a consultant.
Today also affirmed to me that we need to move to ProPresenter. Media Shout is cool but with the increasing amount of video we use in our services, we are going to have to train up and get it started with the ProPresenter.
Today I had ALOT of affirmations! I also had the affirmation that I am abstaining from RockBand until my to do list is finished. Its not something that I am going to TRY to do, but something iWill do. To do it iSchduling is a must.
The iLife series is completely available on DVD! I am already getting request.
This evening we had an AWESOME Lord’s Supper. It was the first time it was at the B&G Club, and I am happy we had it there or we would have been turning people away!
I am setting my sights on Easter! Trying to get ahead of the game. I really think we need to look at two services.
Invite cards went out today for the Price is Right! I’m pumped over this series. I hope people will say iWill to inviting their friends with the cards. The cards really do look swell!
This Friday I am going up to Washington D.C. for the regional Passion. I am coming back late saturday night/early sunday morning for Price is Right. I95 scares me! So please keep me in your prayers.
I am very negative on my sleep debt. So I think I am going to hit the hay early. Yes – 11pm is extremely early…
If you have anything to do with cables – watch this video!
I was watching Granger Community Church’s service announcing that they were going multisite. While I was watching there opening song was…
“I praise your name – Among the nations – I praise your name with all my heart – I join my voice will all creation – giving you praise for who you are.” and then later goes “And the Rocks will not Cry out before me – I will ever sing your praise – Blessings you have poured out on me…”
Does anybody know what that song is and who it is by? I have been wondering for a long time.
Just a note… Granger is one of my churches that I follow. I am writing an upcoming series of post on Churches that have influenced me. I watch many of these churches (like Newspring and Granger) services on a weekly basis.
Perry Noble is speaking this year at Fellowship Church’s Creative Church Conference. He wrote an excellent post on C3, and I agree with him on how awesome the conference is. Check out the article here.
