I have a lot of hair right now. It's long for me. Hmm, the Bible says long hair on guys is a shame. I wonder by whose standard 'long' is determined. At any rate, I think I’m going to get it cut tomorrow.

I want to start a Noise Revolution at our church, but you wouldn’t believe how hard it is. Now, you totally won’t get this if you’re not from a quiet church. But everything’s against a person starting. This is how it goes. Say you’re really blessed by something the preacher says or something the singers sing, so what you should do is let them know it by an affirming “amen” or something like that. But then, as you are thinking about that, you inevitably start thinking about the fact that everybody around will hear you, probably turn their head toward you. Basically you'll stick out like a sore, bleeding, bruised thumb. So then your mind is off what you wanted to affirm in the first place and it’s almost like you’d be saying “amen” for wrong motives, to get attention. But if you don't overcome that and do it anyway, you'll never start! It’s tough, this fear of man thing.

By the way, by Noise Revolution I don't mean disordered racket. All I'm saying is that when God speaks to you don't quench His Spirit.

We had a wonderful service this evening. Just great. The sermon was on hungering and thirsting after righteousness, getting into the Word, and meditating on it throughout the day. I was pumped up afterward, very excited about the whole thing. It's so applicable to my life.

Then AHQ rehearsed. We sang a really nice new one (for us) call The Invocation. Very classy song and arrangement, hopefully we can come close to doing it justice. It's actually arranged by Terry Blackwood, originating from when he was with the Imperials back in the late 60's or early 70's (correct me if I'm wrong Tom). I’m excited about the album. We’ve now sung all the songs that we’re going to record, with the possible exception of one.
