Sunday Service
This morning's church service was great. Thanks to my younger sister for putting the order of worship together. Several people complimented me on the service afterward. I have to admit that I like the compliments. What I don't like is that I like the compliments - makes me feel selfish. Usually, when someone tells me I did a good job and they liked the songs, I say thank-you (like I was the one who made the service great...grr...that's me being mad at myself). This morning, after saying that to a couple of people, I began saying it wasn't me, it was the congregation. Wrong again. Finally, when I got in my truck to go eat lunch, the right answer came to me. Thank-you God for working through Your people this morning and receiving our praise. We were blessed by Your presence. Sometimes, it takes me a while to get things. God is still working and fighting for me. Even in the midst of my wretchedness, He blesses me and works through me. Amazing.
Thanks for reading.

I complimented you-but mostly for choosing the songs that set the right tone in the first place. Guess I should have been talking to Angie. :) Seriously, I appreciate what you're saying about "who" exactly was at work this morning, but you should acknowledge that you had something to do with it. Trust me, a poor songleader can kill a worshipful atmosphere in seconds! You would keel over, clutching your ears, and crying for a metronome at my parents' church! LOL! Anywhoo, I did get goosebumps during "Blessed Be Your Name". I love when the auditorium is full!
The right answer (God did it) is easy to understand, but for some reason I feel overyly righteous saying that, like God and I did something together. I wish I could give God the credit without sounding like an idiot. I understand what you are saying and feeling.
You and God both did it...you allowed Him to use you as the vessel. So, thanks for being a vessel Mario. :)
You know "Blessed Be Your Name" is my all-time fav, so of course, I loved it as well!
