It was Fun!

Fun. The only word to describe band practice last night is fun. I loved it. For the first time in a long time I got to sit behind the drums. I'm not the drummer I used to be, but it was awesome playing beats behind GK, George and JJ. Good times; even better, the angelic voice of the praise leader. I took a little time to look around the room and more importantly - to listen. JJ plays just like his personality. The guitar melodies weren't rushed, were laid back; seemed he was emoting with the instrument. They were connected like that. ME was serene and angelic. She played her guitar and sang, looking around at us to see if we were following her - yes we were. For GK, it's like there's freedom in her organization. She sets it all up in her mind before hand, sounds out the chords and then plays freely - singing, worshiping and seeming to stand in God's throne room. GK and I both seem caught up in everything that is going on around us. I always notice how smoothly he transitions from whatever song is being played to a very melodic rendition on the piano. It takes me back, immediately, to the feelings I had when the song was first being played. I loved it. I had much fun last night. Seems the band has been growing musically with new members, discovery of new talents and different teams. TD does a great job of allowing persons space to use their gifts - that is to me a sign of leadership. I'm gushing with excitement on what the future holds.
