Seriously? I've been so busy that an entire year has passed since I posted anything here? I guess so...here I am, getting ready to leave for the opening session of the 2010 National Worship Leader Conference, and my last post here was after the last day of last year's NWLC. I'm not sure whether that is evidence that I'm way too busy or just a slacker. I suspect the latter.

Nonetheless, my intention is to blog a bit this week about this year's NWLC. And the first thing I want to point out is that several general sessions will be streamed live this year. If you want to watch, go here:

http://video.worshipstream.com/channel/NWLC2010

On that page there is a player for the video, and there is a schedule indicating which sessions will be streamed live and when. Right now I'm listening/watching a session from the Albuquerque NWLC which took place back in June--Buddy Owens is talking about the importance of the continued, fresh filling of the Holy Spirit in the worship leader's life. Good stuff. And I'm stunned that I actually spelled "Albuquerque" correctly.

If you want to see a great talk from last year's NWLC, go to http://www.316networks.com/nwlc2009 and look for Leonard Sweet's talk. Very good stuff.

Anyway, as I prepare to leave this afternoon and drive over to the Church of the Resurrection for the conference, I'm praying that I will have an open heart and mind to the things that God wants to say to me this week. I'm also praying that I'll be able to bring back some useful ideas and inspiration (and music) for my team and my congregation at home.

Until next time...
