I have to say I'm glad that I haven't had to deal with a country-western worship leader (aside from Dennis Agajanian and the Calvery Mountain Boys at Hume Lake, but it seemed appropriate there!). <BR/><BR/>I spent a couple years in college sitting on the side of the room where the big screen blocked my view of the "worship team" because their performance (that's really what it came off as) was distracting to me. And in the church that was all brass and noise during a time when my spirit really needed quiet, I learned to give myself permission to sit after standing for 30 minutes if I needed to and to not clap if I was more focused on what my hands were doing than what my heart was offering. It's a shame that really what comes down to musical preference is so often the deciding factor when people decide to stay at or leave a church. I'm glad you've been able to make peace with "Dolly."RefreshMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755273960702792845noreply@blogger.com
