History

Today was historic for two reasons, the first of which is pretty amazing and the second of which is not, but it makes me happy.

The United Methodist Church traces its main root to the Methodist Movement of John Wesley in England in the 1700s. But never in their 300 year history, until today (okay, maybe last night) had leaders from the 100 largest United Methodist Churches in the world gathered together. Today I was at their Leading Edge Conference at Chateau Elan near Atlanta. President Bush’s pastor was there. I’m not getting political. Just stating a fact. I was there to plays keys for my friend Vaughn Stafford.

Second, today was historic because I rehearsed with Moxie Davis Worship this evening, for the first time; I’m playing keys with them at The Vinyl next week as part of the Buckhead Music Project. Historic? I oversold that one a bit. Btw, click here to book them at your church or event.

I’d also like to mention that my road manager for the day was my 11-year-old son, Noah. Not only did he run the computer that generated graphics and lyrics for parts of the Methodist event today, he helped me load gear in and out at both the conference and the Moxie rehearsal. He even made sure I was in the right place at the right time as I played for different conference sessions throughout the day. He was with me from 7am to 11pm today. Great job, pal. I had a blast with you today. Please let me “roadie” for you and ride on your tour bus when your band hits it big!
