It was 'right'... a year or two ago, Ian turned me on to a new statement. We were cruising along in my jeep on a beautiful Spring day to grab a quick bite of lunch at Burger King (of course, both of us are health nuts. So, the tofu burger was our food of choice with a side of fruit!). The conversation was good... the weather was right on... the food was anticipated and Ian turns to me and says, 'this is just right'. So, he felt free to explain that there are just those moment in life when all clicks and its just 'right'... it's an inexplicable but extraordinary moment that you simply want to savor.

Yesterday was 'right'. I want to savor yesterday a bit more. The songs... the stories... the scripture.... the songs again!.... the video's... the teaching. Everything flowed together and it was 'right'. (10 years at EBC is also 'right'!) You know, I was singing the Revelation Song and thinking, 'there is no way for this song to be wrong!' Anytime that we are singing words that echo out of Revelation 4 & 5, it promises to be profoundly 'right'. My heart was about to burst as I sang from my deepest passion and my deepest desire to adore our God. Kick back for a minute and savor these lyrics... these words that flow out of the heart of the Book of Revelation.

Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain Holy, Holy, is He Sing a new song, to him who sits on Heaven's mercy seat



Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord God Almighty Who was, and is, and is to come With all creation I sing Praise to the King of Kings You are my everything And I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows, of living color Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be to You the only wise King

Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord God Almighty Who was, and is, and is to come With all creation I sing Praise to the King of Kings You are my everything And I will adore You

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder At the mention of your name Jesus your name is power Breath, and living water Such a marvelous mystery Yeah...

Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord God Almighty Who was, and is, and is to come, yeah With all creation I sing Praise to the King of Kings You are my everything And I will adore You

This is 'right'. I mean, it's been happening around the throne for an eternity in the past. It's happening around the throne of Jesus Christ at this moment. These words and this heart of worship will happen eternally in the future. This is right! This is passion. This is where I want to park my life.

May your heart... our hearts, together, resonate with the eternal song of heaven and may we adore, worship, and live in wonder at the name, character, and Person of our King of Glory - Jesus Christ!

For the Glory,

I know that feeling...and it's awesome. Mallory and I both felt 'right' the first time we attended EBC after moving to the area. Every time we leave church on Sunday, we're in awe at the awesome things God is doing at EBC.

Have a Blessed Week,
