Sing so loud it hurts...

I had the privilege of worshiping with some good friends and colleagues this morning up at Salem Lutheran Church in Tomball. It was our monthly gathering of DCE's and DCE Types for the Houston area. Salem has always had awesome facilities and they stepped it up a notch with their new community center. Even more so with their Student Ministry room inside the community center where they have worship... the same place we worshiped this morning as ONE body.

Usually at these meetings we worship, then break into some small groups for some discussion time on various topics. Today though, Duffy (Salem's Youth Pastor) really felt led to just worship. I'm glad he did. It was some really moving, refreshing worship. And it wasn't my voice that was hurting after singing, but my back. That's how you know you were really singing... because when your back hurts, it means you were using all of your lung power to sing praises to God.

When was the last time your back hurt from singing praises out? I know it had been awhile for me...
