Thoughts and Musings on Faith, Music, Family, Life

My guest blog for Bruce Reyes-Chow: "Dear Church: 19 million views should tell us something..."

First things first - Sometime last night, you probably received a couple of posts from me about someone changing their Facebook password.  I have zero idea how that happened.  Sorry about that.

Second, I wanted to share with you a guest blog I did for my friend Bruce Reyes-Chow today.  Bruce, a past moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and an all-around great guy, is taking a self-imposed blogging sabbatical to focus on some book projects of his; and he graciously invited folks to submit guest blogs. I was tickled when Bruce decided to use mine.  You can read it by clicking HERE, or clicking on the picture below.

As you'll see, the blog is my response to the "Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus" YouTube video that was all the rage not too long ago.  I welcome your comments as always - either here or at Bruce's blog.  At the very least, click the Facebook "LIKE" button there, and do that nifty "MoodThingy" deal at blog's end. I think that's kind of cool, actually.

He should get a Grammy for his speech

They could call it, "Best Advice For Any Aspiring Musician."

"To me, this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of making music is what's most important.  Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft - that's the most important thing for people to do.  It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on a computer, it's about what goes on in here (points to heart) and about what goes on in here (points to head)."

As my good friend and MBG bandmate Jerry Chapman tweeted, "Preach it, Rev. Grohl."
