Creativity???

Ok, so the most creative thing I've done recently is building a website from a template.

You can see it at Mission Adventure

It was about as much work as I thought it would be. Now I just need to update it, get it more cohesive.

Oh, I did re-design Hubby's building business card, and his Mission Adventure business card (which I did the first version of too)

A Noise update... kinda

Just popping in to say that Noise was Fantastic, Awesome, Spectacular, and yes a bit noisy at times.

I SHALL write more, but have to pay accounts first ;)

Hope you are all having fun, whatever you are doing!

Noise is on the way!!!

Parenthetical aside before we get into the blog proper: feeling all very technical- couldn't log in, couldn't log in, couldn't log in..... cleared cookies, changed settings, couldn't log in.

Then thought to change "browser identification" for the sign in page, so Opera tells the webpage that it is IE and not Opera... voila! Signed in ;-) Feeling rather silly now


Musically dull
Unfortunately I've been feeling my age, and with is I've been feeling very dull, not shiney and sharp edged.

My singing seems all shot to pieces instead of above average.... something I haven't felt like for a veeeeerrrryyyyyyy long time- like since I was 13.

*sigh* Not a lot can be done about this except to work it through- keep drinking water, keep singing, remember to do the breathing exercises, remember to push myself beyond average comfortable.

So why this?

That's because Noise is on the way again *happy dance*

Noise is my bit of musical encouragement for the year, the event which validates the music in me.
-seminars for musicians, singers, technicians
-workshops for the same
-musician showcases

And this is all happening next week :-)

Creativity...

So have you ever pondered how creative God is?













Now- did you remember that God created us in His image?



















That means that you were created to be creative!!!!!!!!!




I find that mind-blowing!

And I am being challenged to be creative
Be more creative
To actually do stuff!




Think about it!

CD's or not cd's

So who here has lead worship accompanied by a cd instead of live musicians?

I seem to recall saying after last time that I "wouldn't do it again, if I can help it"

... thing learned from this experience- Don't say "I won't..."

I lead last Sunday, having found out on Friday that the expected leader was in hospital, the alternative keyboard player overseas, bass player hunting goats, sax player sailing, and the drummer wanted to sleep in.

Good setup, eh?!

Actually it went well- a lot of prayer along the lines of "Lord, what do YOU want to do?" was the key here.

It was nice to have folks make such positive noises about it afterwards.

MsE lead worship yesterday and did really well, especially as it was her first time leading at our church. She's the one who sang on the cd.

discovered that if i've had a really late night I CAN still sing, but sound better if I sing gently, instead of my usual full blat

Latest musical thing here

Well a while back three of us from Church were invited to spend a day in a recording studio to do backing for a cd... we did well, especially since we had no preparation except listening to the demos.

We all thought that nothing would come of it, except one lady who "duetted" one of the songs- and beautifully too. Then a couple of weeks ago I was handed a cd and told to look at the "credits"... we are on there, very quiet, very background, but we are on there ;-)

So, now to keep working at it, improving, developing.
