...after about a 4 month hiatus. It felt good to be back. It seems that about the only time I've gone to church lately is when my daughter talks me into going, or when I worked audio. That's something I need to fix. I know that "going to church" doesn't equate to one's salvation, but it sure makes it easier to walk the walk if you're in community with believers.
Now all I have to do is keep it up.
Anyway, today was "Rodeo Day", when people show up in western dress, etc. and they actually have the band perform a Country song. There are actually a good number of Country songs that have a Christian basis, or at least are uplifting. Today, the band did "Don't Blink". Interesting lyrics to hear on the first day back in a while:
I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said All I can say is
Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
I was glued to my tv
When it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth
Don't Blink
So, it sort of hit home, in the way that it often does when God meets you where you are (and your oldest daughter just turned 18).

"I started working sound in Church again today..."
Interesting. I started doing the slide show at church just a couple of weeks ago. I'm actually still just training, but in a couple of weeks I'll start doing it solo as part of a rotation. I've enjoyed it so far.
I've done audio at our church since the church was a lot smaller and the sound system was a lot simpler, which is good, because I learned on the job. We have a whole volunteer team that runs cameras, video switching, lights, powerpoint slides, etc. It's a lot of fun, and pretty impressive what a bunch of non-professional volunteers can do.
I admit, though, that I'm ruined for a lot of concerts, because I find myself critiquing the mix, EQ, feedback, etc...
