Dress rehearsal

We had the Dress Rehearsal for Easter yesterday. It went well. It was really great to see the room decorated, I had wondered if we could pull off the vision in that room and I think we did. It was great to see it as we had envisioned. The band sounded great, the sound system worked fine...we had a glitch with the PC that needs to get fixed. For some reason, we couldn't get our presentation software, called Opensong, to use the cool feature that was the whole reason we got it in the first place. This feature allows the PC to projection the presentation on the projector while showing the slideshow outline on the laptop; this allows you to see the whole presentation while projecting only a part of it. Pretty cool- if it works.

The biggest surprise to me was how unprepared I was. I've been planning this worship for months, so I thought I'd know it cold, and I just kept forgetting stuff. It was a learning experience for me, which was the point, and Easter should go off without a hitch. Well, OK, without too big a hitch. There's gonna be mistakes, and that's fine. Just as long as they're mistakes we can live with.

Having seen this vision come to life, I'm even more excited for Easter. I can't wait to do it 'for real.' I'm just really pumped and can't wait!
