I also got to learn the Psalms well because we sang them every Lord&#39;s Day.<br /><br />We were not singing the words of man and there was no worry of someone leading (performing?) at the front. <br /><br />God&#39;s Word. All voice. Solemn and joyful worship. No distractions. Beautiful. I truly miss it.<br /><br />Bono would be humbled.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the interview. Have a great weekend.Paul Latourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06924988085615874881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441043221730392349.post-33300610311693009122009-11-07T11:50:14.058-05:002009-11-07T11:50:14.058-05:00Well, now we just listened to the background video together. Amazing. Truly amazing.<br /><br />There is a church here in our town that had a youth group video from a seminar at the church and they played major rock band music, I know one was U2 but actual secular band music to get the kids in. <br /><br />In another church, a lady I knew said something to the youth pastor about the very heavy metal music in the youth service and he told her if she didn&#39;t like it, &quot; you can take your kids and get out&quot;. No exageration . . . I was there.<br /><br />Amazing interview, though.Dale in TXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05493967281302720161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441043221730392349.post-85248896470939608702009-11-06T20:21:53.984-05:002009-11-06T20:21:53.984-05:00Hey Dale,<br /><br />I knew you and your wife were going to watch it last night so I thought you might appreciate the background video today. I know, it&#39;s just the kinda guy I am! :)<br /><br />I agree re: not enough adjectives. I have been richly blessed by Washer&#39;s preaching and teaching. Blown away by his humility.<br /><br />Thanks for checking in. Praying for you both, brother.Paul Latourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06924988085615874881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441043221730392349.post-68037137962064585352009-11-06T15:56:08.844-05:002009-11-06T15:56:08.844-05:00It just so happened that I played the message last night for my wife. I have watched it a few times and even listen to it in my car. Powerful. Bold. Forceful. There are hardly enough adjectives.Dale in TXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05493967281302720161noreply@blogger.com
