Hearts and Faces

This past sunday was by far the most eventful and unique of Sundays i've ever experienced. After finishing practicing the first song in the worship set, we noticed a crack in the wall right behind us, we then noticed this nice trail of water flowing down the wall onto the carpet on stage. The baptistry behind us was overflowing and cracking and we started to freak out a bit. This flurry of activity ensued as some of us began to move all sound equipment off stage incase the wall gave out and the rest of us found trash cans to begin taking buckets of water out of the church, cause the drains just were not draining fast enough. We spent a while doing this and most of us were pretty wet by the time the water level had gone down low enough. It was crazy! We ended up having to play and sing off stage right at eye level with the congregation which was actually really really cool. Thanks to the quick thinking of some of these guys the damage was not as bad as it could have been. Can you imagine a wall breaking and baptistry water rushing out in the middle of a service!! Anyway, it was an amazing sunday. Love hearing the sound of the congregation praising God and we had a wonderful meal together afterwards. It's why it's my favorite day of the week. 

I was one of the last people walking out of the church after Pastor Jeff preached. The view was pretty cool.

Wireless Electricity!? I kinda like the idea


(This lightbulb is powered by wiereless electricity)

I ran across this article recently. It talks about the innovative work being done with wireless electricity. That would mean no more batteries, or chargers. Things wouldn't die on you anymore because they would be receiving their electrical charges wirelessly. "The world is about to be cured from it's attachment disorder", that line made me laugh... crazy! I like the idea of no more cords and wires! I just wonder how long it will be before this is an everyday reality in our world.
