Sound Effects Show - update

Well we are back from Highland Community Church. The Sound Effects went really well. I was very nervous beforehand. However it was a really good time. After the shows I realize that the age range of the evening went from pre-k to 18 years of age. I hope the younger ones could grasp the message. However, I do realized that the attention span can sometimes be limited at those ages - the first show lasted 45 minutes. They all did pretty good.

The overall message that I tried to give was “Copy the Original”. The idea being Jesus is perfect and we need to “copy” who He is in character. My sounds come from me copying the original. The closer I am to figuring out how the original sounds I sound better to those listening. The same goes for us who are in Christ. The closer we are in Christ by getting to know Him through His word and living out what He says the more we become ChristLike. Anything that doesn’t “sound” like Christ are things we ought not keep doing….. I know, abstract thought at the pre-k level…. maybe not my best choice…. Oh well, it is something to learn from for the next time.

So here are some pics from the evening. Thank you all for your prayers.

Tomorrow night on, 1/21/2009, I have the opportunity to speak at Highland Community Church in Wausau WI. It will be a two part show. First for their AWANA program and then the High School later in the evening. This will be my very first sound effects show away from camp with the sound system that was donated to me over a year ago. See: Sounds Good to Me We are excited to go and share a little bit about Camp Forest Springs and also to have a time of laughter and humor. It is my prayer that through the humor God will be honored and glorified and that His name will be Lifted up.

Lisa and I would covet your prayers for this event, for travel, for great laughter, for my nervousness, and the message the Lord has for these groups to be clear.
