Last night (at the home fellowship I attend as part of my church) we had the children spend worship time with us, instead of the usual "upstairs with the other kids until the end" routine. At first the kids were kind of restless and whatnot. Then after a few songs I looked over at my youngest daughter and she was worshipping with gusto -- her eyes closed, her hands raised in adoration, and singing with emotional and passionate facial gestures. It was awesome to see that, I tell ya!
I wonder how God views our worship. He doesn't need us, but He wants us. Our worship isn't mandatory, but freely given. I bet it pleases Him quite a bit when we worship Him.
There's 8 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes and 5 seconds left of deadline. Lots to do: transcribing the mewithoutYou interview; transcribing the Buckcherry says interview; reviewing six signed albums; writing blurbs on a dozen independent "Pick of the Litter" bands; laying out all the articles and features; printing proofs; and proofreading it all. Not to mention chasing down two to three awol stories; as well as getting photos for several of the features, scanning album and dvd covers... There's lots to do.
