All in Lifestyle Worship

BANG, CRASH, CLANG…

One of my first jobs out of high school was at a jewelry kiosk at the mall.

Every weekend I walked down the corridor with my clear purse slung over my shoulder ready to assist customers in their jewelry needs.

I will never forget the face of the man that would frequently stop by on his break to visit my manager.

He would excitedly share about his escapades at clubs and often tried to include me in the conversation.

“What is your deal?” he asked one Sunday afternoon, “Are you afraid to hang out with someone like me?”

He stood, palms pressed against the glass ,shooting daggers-as if daring me to look away or squirm in disgust.

All about You…

Interesting comments I received during my season of leading corporate worship…

“I didn’t really like worship today.”

“Worship was way too long.”

“Hymns are boring, do we have to sing so many?”

“My ears are still ringing from the volume of that guitar.”

Or the one that still baffles me…

What’s in Your Lunch?

Our home, now a cluttered mess, whereas a week ago, it was filled with smells of baked goods and squeals of laughter. The feelings of Christmas permeated the emptiness.

I felt physically exhausted, however, I couldn’t help the mental task list that formed.

Control… I needed to gain a semblance of order.
