Red Carpet!!!!!!!

What can I say!! It was fun! What a great night! Everyone was so wonderful! Linda Vollman is an excellent stage manager. She had the next act lined up and ready to go, personnel in check, one act right after the other. Sandee Robinson was our location manager, and our lights tech, and our video tech, and… you get the picture. Thanks Sandee.

The carpet should have been longer and deeper and more plush and a redder shade of red, but all of that will happen next year. Yes, that’s right, we’re doing this again next year! And I so hope you’ll come.

John Marr was a superb host. Real, genuine, warm, speaking the profound from a face aglow with love. Next years host will have big shoes to fill.

Thanks to our paparazzi photo-squad, led by Darlene Taylor: Evan Finley, Nathan Lee, Josh the guy I met tonight but don’t know his last name.

Thanks to George Humlie for running sound, and for that matter, thanks to George Humlie for having these three amazing children who make such incredible music and allow me to stand on the same stage as they do.

Thanks to Tammy Bumstead for your beautiful spirit and beautiful voice.

Thanks to Dan and Regina for all you do. I’m going to post that video we saw tonight on here soon so that my listeners can view it. Right now Dan has the flash drive, but as soon as it is in my possession, we’ll upload it and put it on so you can watch. Sarah Bultman, film-maker, did a phenomenal job!!!! Just downright brilliant.

I need to get some sleep; we’re leading worship at Coast Hills in the morning. I think I’ll watch an episode of Monk before I crash. It’s been a great day.
