a couple of "firsts"

[doulosChristou]

This weekend, for the first time ever, I met in person a Presbyterian. He is the pastor of the local OPC church and an Edwardsian scholar. He was a very warm and gracious man. If you're a Presbyterian, consider yourself well represented.

Another first from this weekend: I heard and saw the band Caedmon's Call. It is strange that I had never heard them before this weekend because I grew up with Cliff Young and his family. Another friend from the same circle of childhood is a local pastor who was dedicating his new church facility last night. (As an aside, this pastor taught Cliff Young how to play guitar when he was a young boy.) So, Caedmon's Call was there to lead the music worship. Wonderful lyrics, talented musicians, too loud, not my kind of music.

That's cool (both things). Have you heard Derek Webb's solo music? Much better than CC ever was In my humble opinion, even in their better moments.

Who was the Presbyterian?

No, I haven't heard Webb's solo music. I don't really have much of a taste for new music, to be honest. Whenever I have time to listen to music, I usually reach for a Handel CD or a choral CD of old hymns.

He is friends with my pastor and attended a small conference we held over the weekend.

Thanks, Josh. I do appreciate good bluegrass.
