Is this summer buzzing or is it just the 7,569 cicadas in our backyard? Their song reminds me of every single summer I've known as a Texas native. How 'bout that "cool front" that moved through today between 2pm and 4pm this afternoon? Nice, eh? Sixty seven drops of rain fell in various areas of our yard; it almost sounded like the much anticipated "ping" of precipitation. "Noah", melodic voice of the national weather service, predicted cooler temperatures. But it's actually been MUCH warmer than he droned it would be.
Hot actually... and in case you had the misfortune of missing Rhett Butler and BillyMcLaughlin, make no mistake: it was sizzlin' by 6:45pm tonight. Cool without the front. Buzzin' without the bugs. If I could enlarge this font to 36, I would because tonight at our Double Oak, Texas church two UBER talented men took to the stage and absolutely mesmerized the no-seat-left audience. DANG y'all, I'm not kidding here!
We are told in scripture that we've been made in God's image, and it's clear He's given a special few soaring talent to make music that is awe-inspiring! If the music that our crowded auditorium of slack-jawed, thunderstruck audience heard was [even remotely] any indication of what awaits us in heaven; I just gotta believe God will be passing out extra auditory equipment in order for us to take it all in ~ I mean, really!
Another 36-size font THANK YOU has to go to our worship leader, Sammy Davenport. We're so lucky to have him. He's already organized quite a parade of talent for us at CBC in the short time he's been with us, and I urge you to hug his neck and thank him for the behind the scenes work that materializes like magic so a concert such as the one tonight can thrill us to the marrow.
I love our church... because after hearing the music, bells from a single guitar (!) still ringing in our ears, we could take a delightful stroll through the shared talent of our members' passionate past times. Pretty amazing work ~ so fun to recognize a name and learn there is a skill not previously known about someone. John Newton deserves the tall font here as he organized all the pieces, large and small, flat and 3-D. THANK YOU, JOHN!
A lead pastor usually sets the tone for the flock; it's his vision that often strongly molds the ways a church body will worship the LORD. Kudos to Steve and his proclivity to step out of the box and urge CBC members to glorify God with their freely given talents! Y'all this is SO COOL! Do you tell him THANK YOU often enough for these efforts? Do it; in big, bold font!
Thank You, Jesus, for all the parts of CBC's body and for the flair and genius in the gifts You bestowed on some of our very own. What a privilege to be a part of this whole! Did I mention that I love our church?
