Ramped

So the busy weekend was certainly busy and I seem to have come down with something exotic (and quite phlegmy) - probably because I got quite tired! Never mind, would definitely do it again.

YouthQuake was a great laugh - the young people who came along certainly seemed to enjoy it and, although it is hard to tell, seemed to engage with lifting God up. There were some issues with the sound which made it quite hard to lead worship - and it reminds me of how cool it is to be able to lead regularly in a place where you have spent time getting things like foldback sorted out. But hey, it was still quite cool and it was a real honour to be able to worship with such a quality bunch of guys and girls. They are truly awesome.

Then a good wedding where I was leading the worship and then playing in the evening band. The service went a lot smoother than it could have done, as we had a limited amount of time to get ready and the happy couple seemed pleased so that was cool. The evening was also a great laugh - especially as the band was battling one of those 'play too loud and we'll shut the power off' level meter things that was built into the venue. The band always loves playing for my friends as they always have a good time - which is more of a witness to them than they probably realise.

Another plus was that my wife came back to our house (now that we have a kitchen) and I hadn't quite realised how much I have missed her.

So a more relaxing week (hopefully) of some DIY and other stuff. I am looking forward to a chilled out weekend this weekend. That is definitely long overdue...
