So if you thought the last video was funny, it seems to be catching on. Check out David Crowder at his church.

A song and a dance
So as a good friend has reminded me I need to update this Blog a lot more. I'm trying to decide whether to continue blogging or just call it a day. In the mean time here are two pretty funny videos I came across thanks to Justin Taylor.
This is why church dancing is probably a bad idea...

Whats going on?
Hey I thought I should update this blog again and you know what I'm up to.
Speyer-
I just returned from leading a team of 8 young guys to Speyer in Germany. We hooked up with the vineyard church in Speyer and spent 5 days with them having teaching and worship sessions and hitting the streets of Speyer doing some servant evangelism. We had a blast and met some great people! Chille Langah!
New Wine-
I'm heading down to Sligo with the band from CCV to play at the New Wine Ireland Conference. Never been. Should be fun.
Internship-
My worship internship with CCV has now finished officially and I'll be heading back to Ards for the time being. It's been a great year at CCV and I've made a tonne of friends. I hope to keep in touch with all thats going on at CCV and all the guys up in the North Coast. God has really used this time to teach me a lot about life and ministry and I am convinced more than ever than Jesus Christ is the only hope for this world and giving ourselves to anything other than serving him is simply a waste of our lives. I look forward to seeing what the future holds.

GT ON DUTY
I haven't posted in a few months and some readers ( I didn't think I had any) made me aware of this. So to kick off my blogging life again I thought I would upload a funny pic of a friend. You know who you are!

South Africa Trip
I have some exciting plans for the next month or so. From 10th - 22nd April I will be in George, South Africa on a missions team organised by the Causeway Coast Vineyard in Partnership with Out of Africa Missions.
View Larger Map
The team will included working with street kids, helping with relief work, school's work and visiting townships. We will also get to visit the 'Living Hope Home', a project supported by CCV, which has been built in one of the townships and we will get to meet the family responsible for it.
I am really looking forward to the trip- It'll be my first time in Africa. I would really appreciate your support and prayers. My hopes are that God would use us on powerfully while we are there to bless others and that He would use the experience to powerfully impact our lives and worldviews for his glory.

Good Friday and Easter
Some thoughts on Easter from Tim Smith (pastor at Mars Hill Church):
"Easter is full of distraction.
For children is a time that can easily be about bunnies and baskets. For the rest of us it can easily become a brief remembrance of a often told story; a small bump of religious observance along the road of life.
However, what we remember in Good Friday and Easter is the most essential and profound event of all time. It cannot even be contained in human words. The death and resurrection of Jesus, with all it’s implications, should shake and affect us to the very core of our being. Peter said it this way:
“Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,”
(1Pet 1.8 ESV)
As we take time to remember the death and resurrection of Jesus this weekend my prayer is that we do not simply remember the truth and facts of the events but rather that we are moved, shaken, disturbed, grieved and overwhelmed with the glory, majesty and holiness of our Savior.
We should be horrified at the brutality Jesus was subjected to. It should literally make us sick.
We should be shaken with grief and sorrow at the realization that OUR sin nailed Jesus to the cross, tore the flesh from his back and mocked his divinity.
We should be overwhelmed at the loss the disciples must have felt as they watched Him die.
We should be filled with inexpressible at the glory and majesty of Jesus as he conquered Satan, sin and death as he rose from the dead.
If we are not dramatically moved in mind, heart and will and if these revelations and remembrances to not work themselves out in physical response and action as we talk to one another and sing together in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, then I submit that have either missed the truth of scripture or suppressed the work of the Spirit. We have either failed to see the profound truth of the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ (2 Cor. 4:4) or we have suppressed the work of the Spirit in our lives transform us into the likeness of Christ from one degree of glory to another (2 Cor 3:18).
Don’t let this weekend pass you buy in a flurry of music and production, bunnies and baskets and religious observance. Take time to behold the glory of Jesus and allow the Spirit to affect you in the deepest way possible that everyone we come in contact with, both as we gather Friday and Sunday as the church and as we are scattered with with family and friends, would see the glory of the Savior in us."
