My Whirlwind Week

This past week has been so busy for me. If it wasn't a lost cause I would probably pull all my hair out!

Starting on Saturday night, I had the opportunity to lead worship at New Life. I admit that I am shaky in my leading skills. I can sing, and i can play guitar, but when the two are combined it can get ugly. The best part is that i had so much help and encouragement. Tom and Doug are my Barnabas team lately.

On my way home from New Life I got a message that Jeff needed someone to fill in for bass at SouthWest. So I went to the Y to set up and practice.

Then I played on Sunday for both services. Monday I had small group/house church at my place. We had a great time sharing and learning with each other. It didn't end there 'cause Tuesday was "cast your vote but it doesn't matter if your state goes the other way" day. I stayed up till 4:00 in the morning waiting to see what would happen. Wednesday and Thursday were typical work days for me. Sex offenders, alcohol and drug offenders, and car thieves, oh my.

I just got back from Small group at the Y. It is so cool to have the senior minister as a participant in a group that you lead. Roger is a dear friend and a constant support. He has truly taken me under his wing and provided the mentoring and positive feedback that I need.

So that is my whirlwind week so far. And I still look forward to this weekend: playing bass on Saturday night at New Life, and Sunday morning at SouthWest, then small group/house church on Monday. It doesn't seem to end.
