Today’s surprise happened at a Hillsong/Joyce Meyers Conference in Indianapolis. Brian Houston is so cool. Too bad so few people know about him here in the States. (I could have skipped Joyce Meyers.) The surprise had nothing to do with anything anyone preached on. I was a little ADD during the praise and worship set and was looking around at everything else. What caught my eye was the fact that the tech person putting up the words to the songs, was having problems keeping up with where the band was going. Why, I’m sure your wondering, was that something God would show me? I do the same thing at my church. I was cool for me in that I got to see that even the big boys have oops. I’ve been having a hard time not panicking, and kicking myself, when stuff goes awry during service. I know that God doesn’t expect perfection, only my best. But sometimes I can spend a lot of time beating myself up for small things no one else probably even noticed. I’ve been working on dealing with that a lot lately.
Another surprise happened when we broke for lunch. There was a lady in front of is line that asked where I was from. (I was local to this event.) She had driven 3 and a half hours from Chicago to come to this conference and was with someone that had driven over 7. She said that she talked to someone else that was from Chicago, only to discover that they knew someone in common. It was one of those “it’s a small world” moments.
It’s been a long day and I need to be up early tomorrow. So it’s off to bed I go.
