Twas cool to see Alums faces

Posted by Cody on October 13, 2008

In the midst of the crowd i could see a very distinct set of large lips and emo hair…that of course was pete horning. It was really cool to see him and his wife jackie, and all the alums back at ACF on the other side of leadership. Pete was my mentor and taught me everything i know on electric guitar and most i know on leading worship. It was neat to have him worshipping with me, as if the baton was passed or something corny like that. It made me realize how much i yearn for the same thing. i want to pass the baton back, influence as many people as i can, let God take over this worship team and this fellowship. i’m honored to be a part of it. Maybe one day my face and hair will stick out for something to look out and see me and be encouraged, because that’s how i felt. Thanks Pete, for all you have done for me and for always being my friend. You set a great example. i only hope i can do the same and leave a small footprint that people can look at and say i saw Christ here.

It was also neat to feel like the church caught on to “Hands of the healer” and i could really hear the voices sing it out at the end, that was sweet. I love that song for the record. it blew me away the first time i heard it. Simple, yet really powerful.

  • Hands of the Healer :: Eddie Kirkland
  • Amazed :: Jared Anderson
  • Everlasting God :: Brenton Brown
With regards to the service. I felt like Aaron handled it very well, and i was very challenged by the simplicity and the dire urgency in the tone of his voice. How often to we really sit and pray for this campus? do we believe it can change? soon? Why are we so lazy? why don’t we invite people? why don’t we talk about jesus? or worse, why is our life not exuded jesus enough that it naturally comes out because its who we are? I’m not always sure, but i know i feel challenged from here out to not let moments pass me by, to not be so focused on me and my school work that i forget the greater good that exists here. Not that God is ever counting, but i’m sure his concern is far greater for the souls reached on this campus than your GPA…i’ve seen the real world, and i know it just doesn’t matter. It’s who you know is not cliche, but the harsh truth…anyway 
don’t sit on your bum any more if you are…it’s not worth it. the worst feeling ever is looking back and realizing you could have done more, or you wasted opportunities…or the dreaded question..”what would it have been like if…?”
Let’s step up to the plate church…now
