I've got a weekend that's kicking my tail, but one thing to look forward to is Marcos Witt's pre-Christmas service this weekend. Here's a few links to recall last year's festivities with Marcos. It'll be interesting to see how - not if, but how - he outdoes himself this time.

Also worth noting on the upcoming calendar, Phil Munsey is scheduled to be a guest speaker on January 2nd. Munsey just finished an 8-part series on Joel's book over at his church. Wonder if that has anything to do with his appearance in a few weeks. In any event, the series is a great overview of the book, diving into it in a way that adds some richness to the book.

And in the spirit of crass commercialization during the Christmas season, why not at least plug something that looks like a lot of fun:

The lineup hits Reliant Arena on January 26th. I'm planning on it, myself. All the supporting bands are new to me, but I don't need much of an excuse to check out Stellar Kart.
