what you focus on dictates what you miss : revisit festival of homiletics
last spring a group of us local misfits pulled together to help lead worship at the festival of homiletics that brian mcalren was leading. during the worship or his speaking session he showed a video and it was one of those moments when everyone was baffled. i was packing up brian’s equipment after the session was over while he was receiving people with their questions and thanks. many of the questions were "where can i find that video" which he apparently had some kids do. thanks to jonny, here is a similar video.
the simple statement from brian was, whatever you focus on dictates what you miss (paraphrase). if you are going to focus on this person or that person then you will miss the third person. if you are going to be focused on defending the bible then you might forget the people who need a lunch.. etc.. i loved it

music monday (on wednesday) : all things great in 80’s
i needed a little pick me up. i was gifted with a song that embodies just about everything from 80’s music. asia’s "only time will tell"
- keyboard synthesizer in full effect? check (bonus points if if was the keytar)
- multiple high pitch electrical guitar solos? check
- dramatic waffing in and out of sound? check
- power ballad lyrics that make little sense? check
- group harmony, but not too much harmony? check
- bad hair & dress? check, but under protest, they have some early 90’s facial hair in the video
erin got a kick out of me singing this on the way home from the preds game.
