Church Camp

As I did last year, I have the privilege to play in a worship band for the high school week at a church camp. As before, I play the bass, but this year I'm augmenting my bass skills with a keyboard on the side for a couple of songs. It is minimal switching, but still enjoyable. Truly, playing in a worship group has felt like a real calling in my life. Thus far, it has not been my place to lead anything, but I would not be opposed to stepping in should the need arise. At present, I rotate between bass and keys (not piano) throughout the month, and I'm on every week at church.

This year, I got to meet the worship leader from another church which was interesting. It turns out that not only are there a group of churches like the one I now attend, but the worship leaders meet on a regular basis. Add to that that there is actually a degree or something for worship minister. Had I known anything about that while pondering college, I just might have done it.

It's apparently the year of the worship intern though. Not only does our churches worship minister have an intern, but this other one has two: his son and his son's girlfriend. Distraction anyone?

The speaker at the camp this year did have a couple of amusing stories though. I will post them up when I'm at a real keyboard and not riding along on our way out there.

Blogger on Android

I think blogger/blogspot has something to do with Google, and as such, I figured Android would have some kind of app to post blog entires on here. There has been a good one out there for awhile that is basic, but effective called Blogger-Droid. But then I noticed that Google came out with an official version of the blogger app, and I figured it would be better.

I really couldn't say.

Apparently, the Google blogger app programmer(s) presumed that when you post a blog, you always do it from a Google address entered into your phone, not from a proxy email address like I do with this one. I cannot enter my geek address on my phone, and therefore, I cannot use the official Blogger app, since I cannot find a way to login to any blog from any email address.

So I'll keep using the other one. It's free, so it's not like it's a big loss. I already know how to use it. It can upload pics and everything else. I used it on our Colorado trip last year for the portions that I did blog of it. My sincere hope is that they figure out that people create blogs under email addresses other than their primary ones.

Seriously, I can't be the only one who does this.
