Just stumbled upon this site that rewrote Mark 4:3…

Just stumbled upon this site that rewrote Mark 4:35-41 for sound techs. Hilarious!
King James Version:
"And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

Sound Tech Version:
"And the same Sunday when the evening service was come, he saith unto them, Let us mix over unto the louder side. And when they had sent away the multitude of musicians, they took him even as he was on the mixer. And there were also with him other little sub-mixers. And there arose a great storm of feedback, and the sound waves beat into their ears so that their heads were now full. And he was in the hinder part of the mixing booth, asleep on a rack case: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master-mixer, carest thou not that our hearing perish? And he arose, and rebuked the feedback, and said unto the speaker, Peace, be still. And the feedback ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no feedback skills? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of sound-man is this, that even the feedback and the speakers obey him?"

Sunday at NewSpring was amazing. Total attendance…

Sunday at NewSpring was amazing. Total attendance was 8,289, some people even had to sit in the atrium, (I think it's time for another building). What's more amazing is that 214 people received Christ! So awesome. I think Perry sums it up best:
"This is amazing…and once again…stop and think about this–we are in Anderson, SC…this is not some big booming metropolis–its Anderson! Why is this happening here? It’s because I believe God wanted to do a work in a place that was so incredible and unbelievable that only HE could get the glory for it all."

So, my weekend was awesome... lets hope it stays this way.
