On The Incarnation

Jason — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:59:15 +0000

This past weekend was Providence’s annual Christmas worship ministries event. This year’s performance was entitled “On The Incarnation” with much of the basis of the show coming from the recently released album of the same name by my good friend, Daniel Renstrom.

While I spent most of the time directing the show and running lighting, I did sneak a few photographs in between light cues. Thanks to Ben Salmon for the group photos of the tech team!

Shawn McDonald – Gravity

Jason — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 13:44:04 +0000

The ways of this world are grabbing a hold
Won’t let me go, won’t let me fly by
It taken it’s toll down on my soul
‘Cause I know what I need in my life
Don’t let me lose my sight of You
Don’t let me lose my sight

Chorus:
I don’t want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don’t want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground

This world keeps making me cry
But I’m going to try, going to try to fly, going to fly high
Don’t want to give into the sin, want to stay in You ‘til the end
Don’t want to lose my sight of You
Don’t want to lose my sight

Chorus

I want to fly
Into the sky
Turn my back on this old world
Leave it all behind
This place is not my home
It’s got nothing for me
Only leaves me with emptiness
And tears in my eyes

Chorus (2x)

The Bat Cave

I mentioned “The Bat Cave” in an early post in regards to my home for completing multi-track recordings of our Christmas program this year. Here are some pictures so you can get the feel. I apologize for the quality, these were just shot with my camera phone. Oh, I also have bigger speakers to listen to now, they stand taller than the TV and monitor .

Our Hope, Our Promise

Starting on Friday night, Providence Baptist church will be presenting their Christmas program, Our Hope, Our Promise. I won’t go into many details, because I don’t want to spoil it for those who are attending, but it is going to be amazing! The past few nights, practices and rehearsals have occurred. Sunday and Monday night the members of the tech/production team gathered to run through the songs, scenarios, etc. To see the focus, skill, and dedication of each of these members is a great encouragement to me! Even when things get stressful, and nerves get pushed I can still feel the love of Christ in each and everyone of them. I’m so blessed to be a part of such a team.

Last night was a full dress rehearsal. The entire choir, orchestra, drama, and tech teams came together. We ran through the show twice and after leaving the church at 12:30 AM this morning, I’m exhausted! My duties for this program is to multi-track record the show. What does that mean? I sit in the “bat cave” as it’s been coined, with this big Roland 24-trk Digital Workstation, a mouse, keyboard, and monitor to aid in its use. I’m then accompanied by 3 stacked DVD-Recorders, monitors and switchers for viewing those feeds, oh and of course my pretty PowerBook to aid in notes, following the tech sheet, etc. Fun part about the Bat Cave is that it is really a chair storage closet, so there are the lovely cream and green chairs stacked all up around me. I’ll try to post some pictures tonight of the cave.

All I really want is a famulus (thanks Nate), to say “Come Robin, to the Bat Cave!”

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

So I’ve had the latest Jack Johnson CD for quite a while but today was the first time that I really paid any attnetion to this particular song. It’s kinda sad but it struck a cord with me . . . for several different reasons. I thought I’d post the lyrics here – let me know what it says to you.

Jack Johnson
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Now I was sitting waiting wishing
That you believed in superstitions
Then maybe you’d see the signs
But Lord knows that this world is cruel
And I ain’t the Lord, no I’m just a fool
And in loving somebody don’t make them love you

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?

I sing ya songs I dance a dance
I gave ya friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn’t worth never having you
And maybe you been through this before
But its my first time
So please ignore
The next few lines cause they’re directed at you

I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool
I keep playing your cards
But its not my scene
Wont this plot not twist?
I have no place to read?
Keep building me up, then shooting me down
Well im already down
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting waiting

Well if I was in your position
Id put down all my ammunition
I’d wondered why’d it taken me so long
But Lord knows that I’m not you
And If I was I wouldn’t be so cruel
Cause waiting on love ain’t so easy to do

Must I always be waiting waiting on you?
Must I always be playing playing the fool?
No I cant always be waiting waiting on you
I cant always be playing playing your fool, foool
