myanmar: devastation. are we numb to the number…?

when reports first broke about a cyclone hitting myanmar, i remember thinking to myself… ‘oh no, not another disaster in that region of the world!‘. then i remember thinking, ‘wait a sec… what is a cyclone‘?  (though, wikipedia has an entry on cyclone, i’m not sure i completely understand what it really is. if you’re a good teacher and have loads of patience, hit me up and explain this to me. coffee on me!) 
all i do know for sure? the devastation the cyclone has done to region of myanmar. 
reports early on gave the death toll and it continued and continues to grow and i fear it will never be accurately tallied… (i was honestly thinking it was going to be like part 2 of the terrible 2004 tsunami, where a quarter of a million people lost their lives.)

100+
364+
1,000+
10,000+
20,000+…
…more?

worship setlist @ Q - 2008.04.27…

this was one of those sundays where everything kinda gel-ed and fell into place. am waiting to hear the recording, but feel that everything blended/complimented one another.
i truly believe recording every week has helped all of us learn how to accent and help bring fullness to the set list… teaching us how to be smarter players.

===========================================
welcome/opening set:
- everything [key of A] by chris tomlin
- Majesty (here i am) [key of A] by martin smith & stuart garrard
- doxology [key of A] by thomas ken

invitation/eucharist:
- God with us [key of A] by barry graul, bart millard, jim bryson, mike scheuchzer, nathan cochran, & robby shaffer

offeratory/closing song:
- everlasting God [key of A] by brenton brown & ken riley

worship setlist @ Q - 2008.04.20…

in preparation of ‘earth day‘ coming up on tuesday, 04.22.2008, our church showed a clip from one of the more recent, heavy-impacting web-o-mentary on my life: “story of stuff” which i blogged about.
i’m glad we showed this, and hopefully it will cause people to check out the web-o-mentary in its entirety when they have a free moment.
we offered free energy-saving light bulbs for those interested in making the switch…
i’m hoping to be more and more environmentally conscious/friendly… please hold me accountable!  ;)

===========================================
welcome/opening set:
- come, just as you are [key of E] by joe sabolick

invitation/eucharist:
- shout to the Lord [key of A] by darlene zschech

offeratory/closing song:
- come and fill me up [key of A] by brian doerksen

happy white day? happy black day?…

 
photo from reuters news:
Participants eat Jajangmyeon, Chinese-style noodles topped with a thick sauce of black bean paste to celebrate “Black Day” for love in South Korea. Lonely hearts try to ease their pain by diving head first into bowls of noodles. Black Day is marked by people who have not found love. They dress in dark colours and commiserating over meals of black food, with the dish of choice being Jajangmyeon.

=====================================================
p.e. recently wrote about Q.S.M. and Q.S.W. (Quest Single Men & Quest Single Women) recently on his blog. and the comments it generated was quite amazing, humorous and insightful. perhaps we’ll one day create www.Qharmony.com ;).
