October issue of worshipnotes is coming along nicely. Still loving Andrew Peterson's Christmas record. (It's all Jonah and I listen to these days.)

All of my church stress has been temporarily ceased by Rita. (Hauling giant bags of stinking evacuee trash carries with it its own stress.) But once things settle, I've got to start building a schedule for the youth band, coordinating an all new video team. I'm also planning on recruiting a guy to be my 2nd...ideally, he'll organize tech sheets each week and operate as our floor director. Of course, I haven't actually asked him yet, so...

However, through it all, one thing remains...one thing picks me up when all of life's worries get me down.

I'm going to see U2!

PS- By the way, check Tally Wilgis' plane analogy with regard to church business.
