i am leading worship this week at IV. this makes me nervouse, because, well... it's leading friggin worship!!! by myself is the hard part i think. i am so timid to step up and do the thing i love doing most for some reason. maybe i am afraid i will let people down somehow and not really get them into worship like i could have or they would want. just gotta trust as long as i am inviting to some Jesus up in there that He will be all over it... good stuff...

in the same news, i have been reading james over and over. especially chapter 3... it's all about controlling our tongue and how we can't do it at all. it all flows from God taking over all we do and what is at our heart, because all that flows from our tongue is a reflection of what we have on the inside. is what i have on my inside hate? sarcasm? intolerance? selfishness? bitterness? envy? lust? just plain filthy language...? i dunno. i hope not. according to chapter 3, a well cannot bring forth pure water and bitter water, so i want to be a well of only pure water. i apologize to all those i have ever made taste from my bitterness... so to speak

as always, keepin it real... REAL real...
