Worship with Stephanie Dorman, Monopoly with the Bro’s

So the Benefit concert was awesome. We were scrambling to find chairs for everyone to sit in, and we were probably over fire code. Glorious. Bryan Umphenour was brilliant and Johnathan Stark was a hoot. I enjoyed Jered’s music, but honestly every song was just kind of OK. That is, until he whipped out “I’m coming your way”, which was sensational. So the team raised a ton of support, and I wound up having the honor of getting to converse with two of my idols, Jared Henderson and Chad Tipps. Real men of genius. As most of my friend will agree to, I’ve been lusting after Jared’s snare drum tone since I went to the MILL the first time a while back.

I also had the joy of leading worship this morning with the lovely Stephanie Dorman (see picture on poster below), also of the MILL. Through a random series of events Dan Pahlau, the normal leader of the college group (called Real Faith) at my church, got sick and basically just asked Steph to lead after her awesome set last night. We are friends of hers from outside last night’s show and she gladly agreed. The music went well, my guitar sounded pretty great, and she effortlessly sang my heart into a crush with her. Ok that isn’t really true, she’s a good three years older as it turns out. But it was good enough singing to distract me from worship at one or two moments of the set, not unusual for a very (unofficially) ADD drummer. Good morning.

As of now I retire to blog after a four and a half hour nap. We play Monopoly at eight. Life is pretty good sometimes.
