highlights: I was back in the saddle leading worship music this past weekend and it felt awesome. I think my “Sunday off” provided some much needed rest.

I wanted us to feel the anticipation of our coming King Jesus before singing, similar to how the people at that time might have felt. We closed our eyes together and saw the men, women, boys and girls […]
