church

went to a spanish church tonight. didn't know a soul but i knew the music. i could worship in spanish and it was wonderful. afterwards most of the people welcomed me and invited me to come back. met a couple who moved here from costa rica so it was cool to talk to them. even though i didn't know a soul i felt very at home there.

nh - must be a lot of new english music out there cuz i haven't recognized most of the songs sung in church last week or this. it makes me sad cuz it's hard to worship when you don't know the songs.

from the other end i know it's hard too. the music people try to do their best to bring creativity and freshness. i'm sure greg and others have also been criticized for not having enough new music. it always works that way. one person meets you at the door saying they miss the standards, 3 seconds later someone shoots that "we never have new music". it's tough.
and new music takes a while to catch on. i'm learning a new song from toby mac, have lived with it for a while, but when i introduce it no one will sing along because it is foreign. i can worship to it but i may be the only one for a while. then when it becomes familiar, people start saying, "that song again?"
loads of fun
