Well, a few things have happened since the last time I posted here.

First things first, I got a new job as Worship Arts Minister at Southwest Church in Springboro, Ohio. I think this is going to be a great opportunity for me, but I won't lie. I'm a little overwhelmed as I take over this ministry and attempt to hit the ground running with everything here. I guess we'll see what happens as time goes on, but I'm psyched. Everyone seems really great, and I'm looking forward to forming some new relationships and getting to know everybody.

And of course, I'm freaking excited to make some music and worship with folks, too.

Secondly, I picked up the new Hillsong CD ("This Is Our God"). I can't say I'm loving it, but I do love the title track. It's gotten me thinking about the themes of sacrifice and service. I'm trying my best to draw inspiration from that as I begin this new ministry and as I attempt to live out the Christian life. The song proclaims Jesus as the servant and king who rescued the world; this is our God.

What an amazing thought.

Our God was King, yet chose to be a servant. He poured out his love for all. Because at his core, our God is one who gives all he has to love, restore, and redeem his children.

This is our God.
