Jesus Freak

Several months ago, I had my mom get me the album "Jesus Freak" by d.c. Talk....she had asked me if I wanted anything from Hawaii, so I asked her to buy me the album. She could have probably just sent me money and saved on shipping costs, but there is a novelty in getting stuff in the mail.

Anyway, after listening to "So Help Me God" and "Jesus Freak", I swore to learn them because they rocked. Well, my desire to learn them reached critical mass tonight and I looked up the chords on ze internets. I was surprised by how relatively simple it was to play- and is sounds effing metal through the Boss Distortion pedal I bought. I can't wait to master this song; the hardest part is that almost every line in the song except for a short interlude has a B Minor bar chord. This is good, however, because I need to know that chord for a lot of worship songs I do, so I'll also be practicing an important chord I need to know anyway while I'm rockin' out. It's delicious and nutritious, all in one.

Who said you can't rock for Jesus...




Another great picture of me playing my guitar...




Well, OK, that's actually Eddie Van Halen, but we have a lot in common, right? We both are white, have long hair, love rock and roll, and look! Our guitars are even the same color!

Dude, when are you playing next for your church? I want to check it out.

I remember when Jesus Freak came out. I think it debuted at #2 on even the secular rock charts. Great song and awesome riffs.

Even on secular charts? Are you for serious?

Anyway, we play at 7:00pm at Calvary Baptist Church on E. Delaware Avenue on Saturday Nights...

I will be there this weekend. We WILL NOT be having SNA services on Saturday the 13th because basically everyone on the worship team including myself cannot be there for one reason or another.

BTW, just in case you didn't know, I co-lead worship there with a fella named Brian Feister (which means I play every week now). Maybe a lot has happened since you were last up here...? You need to read my blog more ;)

Worship can change a lot of attitudes :) .

I see "attitude" and "stress level" as two different things, though not mutually exclusive. And though my attitude is better, it is because my lab due tomorrow is not terribly hard, and because I just learned how to play a song I really like (albeit very choppily due to my inexperience with bar chords).

There are still certain problems in my life that remain persistent, but in worshipping God, I know I will outlast them. It's holding onto that hope all week that's the hard part ;) .

You're not allowed to post any more on my blog until you've answered that big email first :D .

nah na na I'm posting...

Okay, I'll answer the email, but I've honestly been sleeping most of the past 2 days... I just woke up and am on my way to a job interview, I'll try to answer the 2 part monster email when I get back if I have time before falling asleep again.
