I’m surprised that APU doesn’t provide UPS for all professors’ offices. Oh that’s right, it’s an evangelical school and saving is assumed. Your office here at church maintained power all day with no interruptions.

So caring. So empathetic.
By the way, on a related matter, there will be no charts for this Sunday. Everyone in the band will just have to play based on interpreting my frantic gestures of frustration and anger. So, like every other Sunday.

This last comment really, really makes me not miss leading worship professionally.
Of course… today, I got the phone call from Jon, our youth pastor, who is preaching on Sunday. Jon says.. “Kevin (the usual band leader) can’t make it this weekend, you wanna lead the youth band?”
So. On sunday, I will lead worship with a bunch of teenagers. For free.
Jewels in heaven… jewels in heaven… jewels in heaven.
Repeat.

Jewels in heaven buy lattes in heaven, which I hear are fantastic.

Blackouts, Disasters, Hurricanes, Wind Storms. We’ve all seen the after-effects, entire communities without power. It’s reported that on average 3.5 million people lose their power in the US each week! We bought a generator from MainPowerConnect.com that ensures our family has the power needed when faced with these unexpected outages. With back-up power, our home and business now stays well lighted, secure with our HAVC systems working, keeping us cool. With our generator the sump pumps keep running protecting us against flooding and keeping our food cold and fresh.

apple-S you big idiot.
…oh, and I got over writing my own charts
for my church band a long time ago. I just buy them from praisecharts.com
The result is a constant struggle to duplicate the coolness of the original recording…
although, I use choir and orchestra for everything, so its really a necessity. Otherwise I would just completely burn out of writing music altogether if I had to make up full orchestrations every single week for my worship service…yikes!!

I heard Eric Clapton uses tears in heaven to buy lattes for Jewel.

Sharolyn = funny
Daniel, charting is one of the things I really love best. When I put ink down, the song is perfect, the arrangement pristine. It only falls apart when real people get involved. Maybe some Sunday, I should just fire the players, and pass out charts to the congregation, so that they can worship through the finely honed symmetry and beauty of a well-made chart.
And, yes, dude, I’m not a freeking idiot. I know about apple+s. Apple+s doesn’t help when the electricity goes out, then pops back on, frying your file, and you have to revert to an online backup of the file that’s 2 hours old. I now have a running script in the background that synchronized my working copy to my backup server every 10 minutes.
