My Night With Sanctus Real's Drummer

This evening I went to work knowing that we were having a secret guest speaker. (I knew who it was, but all we told the youth was that a famous person would be there.) The plan was that He'd help with worship and then give his testimony.

Mark Graalman, the drummer from Sanctus Real was our special guest. He came with his drum kit, wife, and son. It was SO COOL!! of course, I played it cool. I'm not one that's prone to hero worship. It didn't really hit me till just now anyway. I got to play with Mark! I played with Sanctus' Drummer!!! Oh My GOSH!

Mark's testimony was really cool to listen to. I'm a big fan of testimonies. They really do a good job of sharing the power of the Lord that a person has seen affecting their lives. My favorite testimonies are those that take people way out of their world and into the realm of the church. (probably because that's how mine is.) God is rockin' the planet one person at a time.

It's like my boss at the BG Vineyard always says: "Pre-Christians are everywhere."

I had a great time at worship tonight. It was really cool to play with Mark. He is a tribute to Christian Music. Genuine people like him are always inspiring to meet.
