Life after the holidays

OK here's your update:

Hey Yall, Watch This! update: After a couple of sleepless nights, and a failed trip to the deer stand, I finally sucked up my pride and went to the doctor. Chest x-rays revealed bruised ribs and after another you are not getting any younger speech I have started the healing process.

but I did buy another boogie board......hehehehehe

Sunday morning was a whole other test of my patience, which in my highly medicated state was running pretty thin. My faithful guitar amp decided to start acting up, causing me to run direct into the system. The monitors at Walk on Water are on the ends of the stage and I am in the middle, meaning I couldn't hear too well. Of course my amazing team took up the slack and everything went fine. Here's the set

Praise Your Name by Healing Flow

Healer by a lot of different people depending on whose story you believe

Our God by Chris Tomlin

Revelation Song by Gateway Worship (Kari Jobe)

Last holiday day for me today, working at home before I hit the road tomorrow hot and heavy.

People are asking for the video of the boogie board incident....we will just have to see 'bout that.

I'm getting too old for this....

Ramblings of a man on the day after a boogie board accident

Not too many good things happen after the phrase "Hey yall, watch this!" We were snowed in in the first White Christmas in 118 years or something like that when we decided to go out and video the kids (Daniel, Hannah, Andrew and Eric) playing in the snow. Daniel has a regular sled run out on our property, but the grass there didn't get cut this year so it wasn't working. So they devised a plan where they would tie a rope to the back of the four wheeler and pull the boogie board around in our field. One by one they all took a turn when all of the sudden the old man says, "I want to try!" The look of amazement on everyones face should have been enough to convince me that I shouldn't, but my last words were, "Hey Yall, watch this!" Things were going along quite well when we hit a corner and the boogie board drifted a little too far to the left, and I went tumbling. Chest pains, (rib cage, not the ticker) and a somewhat damaged pride, I soon excused myself to a warmer place to fess up to Frances of my stupidity and take my beating. (in a matter of speaking only)

Christmas was otherwise great, with my Grandson Myles having the first real toy explosion of his life (he is 20 months old) and friends and family near. Too much food, but some great memories and the opportunity to spoil Myles. Some highlights of the season:

We did an unplugged set at Westminster (Bentley Assisted Living Center) in Jefferson for Bethe Kellum and her ministry called Healing School. Hannah, Daniel and I sang some of the Healing Flow Christmas collection and Frances videoed the service for us. It was a TV taping for local station Channel 54 and I am looking forward to seeing it when I can.

We attended the Christmas celebration at Lula Assembly of Praise where our son and daughter Christopher and Angie and our grandson Myles attend. Myles dressed up like a shepherd boy and Angie was one of the soloists in the Choir. We love this church and their pastor Scotty Poole. A great celebration of the Savior's birth.

Some bittersweet memories this year as we lost Frances's brother Denver this year to pancreatic cancer. He is sorely missed and was a great friend and neighbor as well as a brother to us. My parent's have been gone over a year now, but when we listen to Bethlehem Morning, my brother Lindsey's Christmas CD, and eat breakfast casserole, memories flood back in of Christmas morning with Mom and Dad.

We will be editing video and posting pictures as soon as we can. The boogie board video could probably go straight to the famous TV show, but I think we better hold on to that, it could cause more people to have chest pains.

Merry Christmas!

Run to the Battle

Worship at Walk on Water World Outreach Church is always unique. Our Pastors, Perry and Angie Burgess are incredible worshippers and create an environment that Worship Leaders like me can thrive in, namely FREEDOM. Ministering to homeless people and street people is challenging and tricky in that many of them came for the warm bed or the hot food and seem to be generally disinterested in the proceedings of a worship service, even one in a Pentecostal church with a rock band.

In the midst of that, we have a core of people with a heart for ministry, a heart for the move of God, a heart of Worship that is strong. They come to serve, not to be served, and to love and reach out to the above mentioned street people of Athens, Georgia. As I said, not where you might typically look for a major revival Spirit to break out.....but wait!

Here we are, pressing in to His Presence when the word comes from the Lord...."There is a battle raging for the souls of men....There is a war for men's souls....In war there is no spectators, you are on God's side or you are against Him...Where do you stand? Take up your weapons and run to the battle. Now is the time to declare who you stand with....Run to the battle, Run to the fight".

The intensity of Worship and Warfare is increasing week by week at WOW church. God is up to something special here. My question for you is, " Are you taking up your weapons and running to the battle, or are you on the sidelines, watching someone else fight? I wrote a song a couple of years ago that says it for me the best:

"Not content to watch another sing....zealous in the praises that I bring....a moment in the presence of the King....Lord I know I don't want to stay....arms length from a miracle...."

This weeks set list:

Song of Hope by the Robby Seay Band

Friend of God by Israel Houghton and Michael Gungor

We Prepare the Way by Rick Pino

Rescue by Desperation Band

(an extended period of spontaneous worship and flow right here)

Call My Name by Third Day

Thank you WOW and thank you Healing Flow Praise Team for your obedience and your heart for worship. Thank You Pastors Perry and Angie for your sensitivity to the Spirit and your love for your people.

The altars were full, miracles, signs and wonders, people getting saved, set free, and comissioned for the fight. What a service...All Glory, Honor and Praise go to You, Lord!

He Touched Me

Here we are with a favorite of mine, Phillip Council's arrangement of the Gaither tune He Touched Me. We love it when Phillip comes with us, he is so open and free and ministers what is on his heart.

More live video from the Jam for the Lamb. Even more coming soon

How He Loves

This is our version of the great Jesus Culture tune How He Loves as performed at the Jam for the Lamb. Singing lead is Hannah Roesch and Phillip Council. Enjoy.

This song was written by John Michael McMillan and also performed by Kim Walker and David Crowder. Powerful prophetic worship, which is a trademark of the Jesus Culture team. We get a huge response every time we minister this song.

If grace is an ocean, we are all sinking......

A Moment of Peace, if I may

Things sometimes tend to spiral a little out of control. Double digit unemployment, economy in turmoil, things going crazy at work or at school, friends and loved ones in trouble or sick....sometimes you just need a moment of peace. Here's Daniel, closing our set at the Jam for the Lamb with a hymn. Enjoy.

Hopefully we will be putting a little of this on our Songs and Stories CD which we are just beginning. Our first music project, Hold On, is about to finish production and may (I said MAY) be ready for Christmas. Yea!

In the flow,

Jack

Updates and News

Wow. What a fall it has been! We have been busy, with some of us starting a new career and some of us moving, some starting college and some trying to get back in, yes, change is good, but we are all hoping for a little bit of a break right now.

The music has never been better, and we see God moving in our services. We take no credit for that, as the Holy Spirit is the source for all of that. Too easy to let that kind of success go to our heads, but we realize that all the glory, honor, and praise go to Him and Him alone.

There is a huge need at our home church, Walk on Water, and we pray that God will move on behalf of the church. Our Pastors, Perry and Angie Burgess have been faithful and generous and giving people and we as a church meet a need in reaching out to the homeless and street people of Athens. God, meet our need, open doors that no man can shut, and shut doors that no man can open. Breakthrough!

We still hope to have our music project done by Christmas. It's hard to tie up loose ends and put together the total package, but we still have that as our goal. Pray that God will open doors and hearts and bless our efforts.

Come see us in Athens. We are looking at a couple of other gigs in the near future, possibly with our friends from Full Circle. Details as they become available.

In the Flow.....
