Weekend Roundup
I’ve had a productive and yet restful weekend. Friday evening, I spent time setting up my home electronic drums (a hodgepodge of different pads & hardware). My new Alesis Trigger came in, so I wanted to get started using it with the included BFD software. It came with BFD Lite, but it is a really cool piece of software. I’m planning to upgrade to the full version to get access to more higher-quality sounds.
Saturday, I sat in disappointment as the ‘Cats dropped a game to Louisville. This team is going to set new lows for the program. Don’t believe me? Read this.
Saturday evening, the Josh Martin Band had a belated Christmas get-together, sans Doug (who had a family get-together of his own). We had a good dinner and enjoyed each other’s company - without playing music - for a change. It’s rare that we’re all together to hang out when we’re not playing music. We did, however, have a “band meeting” to discuss some plans for 2008. Perhaps the biggest news is that we might be adding a new member to the group, along with recording our next studio project.
Today was a great day at The Point. Please go listen to the sermon if you get a chance. Good stuff. This afternoon, I spent some quality time on the media site, revamping the structure of the sermons page. My humble attempt to mimic Desiring God’s sermon resource library.

- Slate has a good article on Joel Osteen. My favorite quote from Joel - “I’m not called to explain every minute facet of Scripture or to expound on deep theological doctrines or disputes that don’t touch where people live. My gift is to encourage, to challenge, and to inspire.” Get out of the pulpit then!
