I’ve got the picture-in-picture going with the Debate and the Dodgers going at the same time. The Dodgers are off to a rough start, but this debate is much more lively than the second in the series.

It grieves my heart to read that 18 FIRST GRADERS were taken on a school-sponsored field trip to a gay wedding in San Francisco. This news has awakened me from my slumber, and I am now an activist for “Yes on 8″.

I’ve never been summoned for jury duty, but now that I live only about 8 miles from downtown LA, I got called up for it yesterday. Fortunately, I wasn’t chosen for a jury, and I finished in one day. Phew! One of the cases yesterday was projected to last 20 days!
So it was a mostly boring day interrupted by a couple moments of stress when they were calling names. Nothing too bad. After lunch, a lot of us were bunched around the 19″ TV they had in the back of the room watching the Dodgers get pummeled by the Phillies until our time was up.

Man, today started out great, and has been a mostly good day. I got up this morning and met a buddy of mine for breakfast at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in Pasadena. If you’ve never had two giant waffles with a quarter of a fried chicken for breakfast, you haven’t lived.
After breakfast, I burned up about four hours doing some tracking for a demo of a song the Melisa and I wrote called “And We Sing”. We’ve been doing this song for about a month at Live Oak, and it has really been a song that has taken hold with our church. The demo tracks are coming together, and I hope to get this one done, and also finish off “Likeness of You”.
Stay tuned.
The only downer of the day: Michigan lost to Toledo. I blogged that on Scottie’s News & Views.

My wife, Melisa, is heading out this weekend to lead worship for the Live Oak Vineyard worship retreat. I’m so proud of her for how she’s grown into such a great worship leader, and what a heart she has to worship the Lord and make His name famous.
She’s been leading worship for about three years now from keyboard, and for about four years in total. She’s got a gift for finding songs that are in tune with the heartbeat of God, and she’s even written a couple great songs that we use at Live Oak a lot.
Please pray for my wife and her team, and the ladies at the retreat that they would have a wonderful time with the Lord, and with each other.

On Sunday our church launched the first ever, “The Church Has Left The Building” Sunday. It was a day set aside for the church to get out and serve the community. I think it might have scared a few people away, because it seemed like the attendance was a little bit on the low side. If you weren’t there, you really should come when we do this again sometime in the future.
I can’t tell you how it all went, because I was part of one of a bunch of different teams that went out. I was part of a ministry team that went to the Santa Anita Convalescent Home in Temple City. Melisa, Steve and I, along with our friends Kimmy, Stan, Karan, Aliza, and pastor Floyd, led a time of hymns and worship, a short message, and prayer ministry for a group of about 10 people.

I had a rough week. It’s not that anything bad happened, I just had a rough week. Work wasn’t bad, I had the week off from worship leading, and had very little on my plate. I think I just needed to recover from a season of busy-ness.
Busy-ness: It’s all around us. It’s the American lifestyle in a nutshell. We leave the house in the morning to start the day snarled in the hustle and bustle of traffic goiing nowhere. And then we get to work, where Americans are finding that they are asked to be even more productive than they were last year. Many of us comb through dozens of emails every day that we write while we are on hold during phone calls. And then there is “texting” on our cell phones. We are in constant communication all day, but none of it is the kind of communication that “connects” us with people. After this is all over, we get back in our cars to “hurry” home at 10 mph on jam-packed roads.

David claims that he isn’t excited about Ryan Delmore’s new album *just* because former Black Crowes, Marc Ford, played on it, but we know the truth.
