This blog examines, reviews and discusses how worship is being lived out in culture and in the church. We tackle everything from songwriting techniques in corporate worship, to interviewing worship leaders and pastors, to reviewing the last big rock concert.
For the 3 of you out there who haven’t seen the original go check that out first. Now here’s David’s version…

Noah Thomas plead guilty to stealing his church’s hurricane Katrina relief funds and has been sentenced to 17 months in prison. Noah’s church, Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in New Orleans, was completely flooded during the hurricane and unfortunately the church had no flood insurance. Doh!
After all, why on earth would a church built in a city that’s beneath sea level with rivers surrounding it held back by man made levees need flood insurance? Fortunately for the church our federal government stepped in and provided $252,000 in a federal disaster loan. Unfortunately for the church they had a thief for a pastor and he went and bought himself a car and took an additional $35,000 from the fund for play money.
I guess what do you expect when you name your church after land stealing pilgrims! I’m sorry, I’m part Indian and I’m still a little sensitive to all of this, my people suffered greatly. That reminds me, I’ll have to ask my dad who my people are again.

This is a promo for our church’s youth group. Both these jokers are in my band and they’ve done an incredible job capturing the glory of the 80s is this mock video. If you’re impatient skip to 1:30 to see the goods. This song would have been a smash hit in the 80s, SMASH I tell you. Props to John and Josh.

Very often I listen to music I love and think, “I wish I could sing like him” or “I wish I wrote this song”. So today I thought I’d start with the top 5 voices I covet.
Jeff Buckley - With this voice the sky is the limit. There’s nothing I couldn’t sing, the pinnacle of flexibility and range. His voice has graced us(no pun intended - his greatest album was called Grace) with some of the most beautiful songs ever written, Everybody Here Wants You, Last Goodbye, Morning Theft to name a few.
John Legend - When my inner soul, funk, R&B guy comes out and wants to sing about making babies John Legend is the voice I need. I wrote a song for my wife that I played to her on our wedding and it was very much a white man acoustic, John Mayer type thing. Would have been so much more effective if I could have swung behind a piano, shirt unbuttoned, chest hair poppin out(I don’t have any of that either) and sung some sweet soooouuuuuullllllll.
