Don’t Waste A Perfectly Good St. Patrick’s Day…
March 8, 2010
I’m about to head off on a mini US tour that takes me from Knoxville Tennessee to Tulsa in Oklahoma and it turns out that one of the few free dates that I have is St. Patrick’s Day (Wednesday March 17th).
Here’s what I’m thinking.
I’d love to do a St. Paddy’s Day Bash of some sorts.
Maybe a House Concert (http://www.andyrogersmusic.com/house-concerts/), a church worship gathering, coffee bar or even an Irish Pub session – I’m open to suggestions.
If you’re in Western Tennessee, Arkansas, or Missouri and you could gather a crowd and host a simple event that day then I think we could have a riot! (i.e. great time).
Get in touch, leave me a comment, drop me an email (andy[at]andyrogersmusic[dot]com) and pitch me your ideas!
Cheers – Andy
Worshipping music: How to build a God
March 5, 2010
Years ago I remember being so challenged by the concept explained here that I publicly destroyed a perfectly good Fender Telecaster as an act of sacrifice and worship.
It was very cathartic for me but misunderstood by others!
Thanks to Gareth for posting this.
Lance Wallnau Says This Song “Has The Breath of God On It”
March 2, 2010
A few months ago I led worship at a gathering in Belfast where Lance Wallnau was speaking.
I must confess I wasn’t really familiar with him or his teaching prior to that but was mightily impressed with his take on the Kingdom of God and the season of life that this generation is living in.
You should check out his stuff at www.LanceLearning.com.
Anyhoo – he had these really encouraging words to say about the song
‘All of Creation’ that we did that night (it’s the big anthemic final
track from the Mercy Tracks Me Down album).
“God is all over that song… That song has the breath of God on it…
it’s about what God wants to do now… that song is going to sung with
this move of God”
Now that’s encouraging enough but the Belfast gig was near the end of
his world tour where he was both speaking and researching the new
season that we’re in, so in that context I think it carried more
weight coming from someone who is getting to observe the bigger
picture.
Each time I have led worship with this song people have really
resonated with it and maybe he’s right – maybe it will get sung by
more and more folks.
You can get the song (and album) at www.mercytracksmedown.com or from iTunes here: http://su.pr/2Rf1Xf
So here’s what I’m wondering – how can I get the song out there
virally? I could go through a record company with some of the contacts
that I have but I think it could be faster via youtube, facebook etc.
A good start would be a few creative YouTube videos – get in touch if
you think you could put together a youtube slide show for the track.

Triquetra (Celtic symbol of the Trinity) Visible in the Trees of a Forest in the West of Ireland [video]
March 2, 2010
and driving back home saw this amazing phenomenon visible in the trees
of a forest across a valley near Sligo. It’s an almost perfectly formed triquetra, the Celtic symbol for the
Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Whether it is there by design
or it’s naturally occurring I’m not sure but I thought what a great
sign of God the creator’s mark of ownership and destiny on this land.
