"Into Your Glory"

I had to take some time to have a chat with Brittany, before worship, which was rather uncomfortable. My mom keeps telling me how Brittany only performs, but I haven't the foggiest idea about what Brittany does when she's behind me to my right side. I look down and to the left when I look anywhere (the words and the neck of my guitar, respectively). I simply told her what my mother had said and then asked her what she thinks being on a worship team means. She told me what she thought. I didn't tell her she was wrong, I simply stated that she should keep in mind, "We're not worship leaders, we're lead worshipers." I think it upset her, and I don't blame her for being upset. I did let her know that we're not kicking her off or anything, so she doesn't have anything to worry about.

I honestly don't remember what the first song we played was, which is rather sad. I didn't care for it much, since we simply needed a third song to fill time. We played "Hungry," however, which I absolutely loved. Bryce had a special drum pattern for it and it worked out perfectly. The key was rather low, however. Either way, it worked.

The other song we did was "Into Your Glory," which is by a boy from Corrie and Elissa's school. We almost couldn't remember how to play it, but I figured it out right before it would have been a disaster, and it worked out. The song is simply about pressing closer to God to be closer to "His Glory." It's really a very well written song and pretty fun to play, too. I'm not so certain how popular it is with the kids in the youth group, however. I've never really heard them worship to it, not once, but the idea of the song was exactly what I was looking for.

Reinstalled Linux as my operating system, last night. Gotta get the wireless back up to working 100%, and the speakers are a bit wonky, but other than that, it's fine.

God Bless,

Mike
