Outstanding! Is it Chad?

That would be quite entertaining, to watch our church and Chad interact with one another!
I wrote a whole post about it, but it read like a Doogie Howser diary entry. So I just cut to the chase. But I will say that the first time I encountered him was at a music seminar. He talked (and interacted) for about an hour, and had the depth and wisdom of a good Christian marriage and family therapist. In the back of my head passed the thought, “If he needs me to play, I will.” Then he sat down on the bench. Let’s just say he did not need me to play.
He would be wonderful no matter what, but I kind of like that I really liked this guy before I heard him play or sing one note.

BTW, thank you, Mike and Gretchen, for being a sounding board on this issue during your last visit. It has been a lloonngg two and a half years, but I’m glad that we’ve waited (which is easier to say now that it’s almost over). We never dreamed it would take this long.
He leads worship on Jan. 10 and we vote on Jan. 17. Unless he’s hiding seven wives that we haven’t found out about yet, I can’t imagine it not going well.
(Cue Handel: Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!…)

“Unless he’s hiding seven wives …”
That just means he keeps “the whole council of God,” right?

That a is a wonderful Christmas present indeed Sharolyn!
And a very Merry Christmas to all of you at the Roadhouse!

Hehe. Is it Chad.
Can you imagine me attempting to keep a straight face, being interviewed by the Worship Pastor Search Committee that Sharolyn just happens to be sitting on? I’d be fighting every God-given instinct I’ve ever possessed, and that’s only suppressing the fart noises.

Chad, I am imagining something akin to SNL. :) Besides, I might be inclined to put on a Darth Vadar helmet from the congregation when no one is looking. Or swap your Bible for a Book of Mormon and watch you walk around with it. Or snicker while requiring to hear an on-the-spot tritone transposition. Yes, there could be quite some shenanigans.
