Worship Tricks

...I really suck at blogging.  I just have not gotten into the groove of posting new stuff.  I hope that will change.

For now, I'm going to send you over to a blog by Jonny Baker where he posts creative ideas for worship elements that he calls, "worship tricks":

There is a world of creativity out there relating to the worship arts: imagery, music, icons, and on and on.  Sometimes it is all to easy to get stuck in a routine of worship planning.  I know that I personally have a tendency to focus all my creative energy on the musical arrangements of songs - and while that is certainly not a bad thing, I do wish that I could produce more creative elements for worship beyond just music.  There are times when I'm browsing through a site like the one I linked to above when I feel a bit guilty or jealous, thinking to myself, "why didn't I think of that!"...often times, the ideas are so simple that just a bit of time thinking outside of the box could produce them.

So, here's to more creativity and originality within the church and the worship arts - and here's hoping that I'll spend a little more time trying to produce my own unique elements.  Or at least rip them off from someone else!
