Christ Centered Concert - Great Time! Great People!

Last night's concert was truly a time of the 'family' getting together and, well... just being 'family'. All of us were worshippers (no performers) and God was the audience. I love it when this happens! Sounds so easy but hearts have to be open . . . and this isn't always the case - 'tho granted it should be. I appreciate so much the spirit that flows in and through the body of those that call Christ Centered home. House was full and that's right here in my own home town "backyard". I know it lifted Sheila's and my spirits to be part of it. And as a bonus also got to hear Christ Centered's own singers, "Adoration". You can tell they've been at it awhile and understand how to get it done. Great job guys and gal! Of course they've got an experienced 'kick-in' band that brings a freshness to the worship and praise experience.

Pastor Tommy Howard's humility and love for the Lord allows him to function naturally and without pretense as a true pastor. Personally, still can't get used to those who feel 'called' into local ministry merely to speak; but somehow ignore the shepherding the flock responsibilities. I've learned this usually translates to no hospital visits... no in-home visits... no family support during times of personal loss or tragedy, etc. They speak - Sundays or weekends - and merely prep for same during the week. Definitely not the case with Tommy. Thanks Tommy and Christ Centered. We love you!
