Perfect Attendance

I'm not a big fan of obligations. I should qualify that. I'm not a big fan of obligations for obligation's sake. When it comes to church, I feel the same way. I don't like taking classes because that's what you're supposed to do, and I don't like sitting in a service because that's what you're supposed to do. And I REALLY don't want the church to be obligating people to do a bunch of stuff.
They primary part of my job involves putting together a worship service each week. It's good work and I enjoy it, but I don't want people to come because they feel like they have to, or that someone will look down on them if they don't. What I want, mostly, is for them to want to come, and ideally, they'd come because they encounter Jesus there, and they are surronded by people that love them and care about them- like a massive, awesome family.

You know what's weird?

Rock and Roll in the morning.

But we do it! Every Sunday. We get up early, and we rock.

Feeling obligated to rock is also weird. I think it goes against the fundamental elements of rock.
If you are a part of my community here, I hope you don't feel obligated to show up on Sunday, and I hope you don't feel obligated to rock.
Don't rock because you're supposed to. Rock because God is awesome. I will try and do the same.
