Over The Weekend

Wow. So for the first time, I scheduled a shoot a day for four consecutive days. All but one of them were for a project I'm working on for church. I had a great time getting to know people I didn't know before and spending a little extra time with people I did.

The project is for the "Songs of Faith" series we'll be starting on June 28th. This series is geared toward educating people on the significance of hymns. I wasn't raised in the church, so this will be the first time I look at why hymns are so great. Singing hymns is sometimes difficult for me. Most of the time I feel as though I'm just reading someone else's words (who actually uses "thou" in a sentence now a days). I've visited too many churches where that's just what they do..get out the hymn book...turn to hymn number such and so...sing/read...close the book...sit down...listen to the sermon...and leave feeling like they've fufilled their Sunday obligation.

I accepted Christ as my savior in 2004. Christianity is not just "my religion"...its a real truth that can be tested and proven. Music is one of the main ways I lift praise to my Father. I can't wait to see what the Lord is going to teach me through this.
