Rain. Flooding.
Sump pumps going out.
Teammates trying to salvage basements and homes.
But wait... the team is finally together and all the pieces are coming together for our Saturday evening gathering.
One of our never failing iMacs fails.
Drops dead. No power.
Apparently a common thing with the new silver iMacs.
This happens 25 minutes prior to our start.
Grab a computer from the office.
Already has the software we need to run on it.
Good. Very good.
Doesn't have any of the lyrics for the songs we're doing.
Bad. Very bad.
Searching and typing and formatting and working to get it all in place.
A few typos and pagination items but ready just in time for our start.
God is good.
I'm blessed me with a great team that is able to work under pressure to make things happen when they need to. The sign of a great team - to stay cool when the heat is on.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Peace.

amen & amen.
great team! you guys rock.
I especially like the word "groe".
Has sort of a celtic feel......
pagination...nice word...
I thought the team did an excellent job!! I was so impressed with the professionalism of the service and the, as always, excellent flow of the service. The way your team was able to take a situation and work around the problems and still come across as so calm and put together was awesome. I was amazed when I heard of all the obsticles that were thrown in your way! That is the sign of a great team with great leaders!
