Sorry this is a day late but it has been busy and very fun being here. Last night's concert was incredible. It was jam packed and they came ready to sing and worship. God really showed up in a fresh new way for all of us. They gave me an hour for the concert and it went an hour and a half. I guess it wasn't a problem because nobody has said anything to me.........yet. ~:)>
Today was all about teaching classes. Everybody in the band taught at least 2 seminars today. Pete taught a drum workshop, Jason taught a guitar workshop, Tom taught on making over your worship band, Loisa taught a vocal workshop, Sherri taught a programming workshop, Steve taught a sound workshop, and I taught on worship leading and transitioning your church, They all went better than expected and were well attended. After that we all did a Q and A together and then went out with a bang with some closing music. It was a HUGE success and we all loved being here.
After the conference was over we all went out to Baltimore Harbor to eat and hang. It was SO MUCH fun. Here are some pics......
Then we all ate crab.........Maryland style. That is steamed WHOLE crabs. You eat them by tearing their legs off, splitting them open with your hands (I used a hammer) and then ripping their lungs, intestines and..........uh well,,,,,,,,,,,,let's just call it "mustard." To the native Maryland person that means "Crab Poo!" So don't eat the "mustard" if you have crab in Maryland. I couldn't bring myself to gut my crab so I had Loisa do it for me. She was a trooper and only threw up twice. ~:)> Sherri didn't even bother to take hers apart she just dove right in. ~:)>

i would also like to add that justin (innocently enough) asked the waitress for a table dance when the staff of the restaurant came to sing to him for his birthday (which, by the way, is september 30, NOT april 29). rest easy - it was in response to an inside joke between him, the music pastor and his wife...but it was still REALLY funny.

I have no comment about Justin and my wife table dancing. Seriously - J & and the team were awesome. I'm getting flooded with emails about how lives were changed last weekend. MB, your Justin behaved like Justin :) and I thank you for loaning him to us for a few days! Hope all is well in CA - give my regards to the team.
