-First off, did you see my post this week on Using Tracks/Samples in a Worship Environment? It was post 1 of 6… it covered all the equipment we use to build and use tracks live. Check it out and let me know what you think. Also, stay tuned this week for post 2 on Tracking in Reason.
-Second, did you see Today’s Live Blog on Greg’s message? The message was part of our Questions Uncensored series and had to do with “Can a Christian Drink Alcohol?” Check out my notes here and check back midweek on the Foothills Website for the full service audio.
-Alright, so I had the day off today!
-Scott Hamilton is one of the TFC that I have been working with closely for the last few months. He’s an amazing musician and his passion really shows when he’s leading worship. I felt 100% about putting him on the stage today.
-I’m watching the Survivor Finale… hoping JT wins. He made the move of the century by keeping the harder opponent to go with him to the final… even though it is gonna be harder to overcome him. The reason he did that? He said he was going to.
-I made it to the 11:15 service in Seneca this morning. Great energy, excellence, and tons of fun! The concourse was electric and people LOVE being at Foothills. I love my church!!
-Greg handled that message today. Go to the website, listen, and learn. He HANDLED it!
-I’m gonna watch the end of Survivor and chill out. Make sure to check back for part 2 of Using Tracks/Sample in a Worship Environment coming in the next couple days.

-Today was a great day at Foothills!
-Here is the set:
***Saved – Third Day
***Today is the Day – Lincoln Brewster
***Sing Sing Sing – Chris Tomlin
***Jesus Messiah – Chris Tomlin
-Today was my first day playing through a modeler like this, it’s an amp simulator so there’s actually no amp. It simulates an amp, pedals, delays, reverbs, chorus, distortions, etc. Honestly, practice was SO weird but this morning everything came together and I almost forgot I wasn’t playing an amp. Pretty rad!
-The pastor had a conversation with me… yeah, that’s it. Sometimes pastors get too busy to hang out and chat with their people, and it makes an impact on their volunteers, whether they know it (or want to admit it), or not. It sets the mood for the entire experience.
-Greg Oraham had the best word I’ve heard in a long while. He’s a great speaker, and TOGETHER. (I’ve heard he takes Thursday afternoons and rehearses the message for hours to ensure both services hear the same thing.)
-I saw a bunch of people I know, and had a pile of Facebook messages and Twitters when I got home. It was good to connect with some people I hadn’t seen in a while. It reminded me of how sucky a friend I am when it comes to keeping in touch with people who aren’t in my daily routine. I’m working on it.
-Got to talk gear with some of the guys in the greenroom this morning, I fed my addiction, for now.
-Speaking of, the greenroom at Foothills was OFF THE HOOK! Big, spacious, comfortable, perfect feed from the service piped in and shown on a HUGE flatscreen. They did it right when they built their new building.
-I love the cold weather. I wore my P-coat this morning and it was just right. Brr. 
-Came home and made tacos while Candice took a nap, and then I took a nap while she did some school stuff for tomorrow. I woke up 3 hours later OUT OF IT. Didn’t plan on sleeping that long, but it was the best nap I’ve had in a long time.
-We’re about to go to the store and grab some things for the next couple of days. I love Sunday nights!
Good day! Hope you had a great one too. Wanna tell me about it?
