email from Bert

Bert Waggoner is the national director for the Vineyard USA, the community of churches with whom we are serving Jesus. what a remarkable man. i'm so impressed with him on many levels: wisdom, heart, passion, care, vision, etc. not to mention the fact that he continues to pastor his church in Sugarland, Texas while leading a growing movement of 600+ churches in the U.S.



thought some of you may find his most recent letter to Vineyard pastors interesting, so i've uploaded it to the web here if you'd like to download and read it. for those of you that don't read it , one thing of note that he mentions is that the Dwell worship CD won the award for best new album from worshipmusic.com. i think i've mentioned this before, but i really like the new direction Casey Corum is taking Vineyard Music.



a couple of other notes, unrelated to Bert's letter...



worship was awesome at home group a couple of nights ago. just made a playlist on my ipod, printed out song sheets, and brought some portable speakers into the living room. Ronni and i really experienced Christ as we worshipped. maybe it's because we weren't focused on leading, maybe it's because the music was excellent. not sure, need to check with the others in the group to see what they thought.



oh, and my goatee is gone, so my mom and sister Grace should be happier now :)
