Being successful at anything is not just about doing something great and excelling at it, but it’s also not letting yourself get burdened by the temptation of trying to do everything great. A great case study for this is In-N-Out Burger. They do one, maybe 2 things, but they do it so well they can’t […]

Sunday, March 29, 2009: Dealing With Complaints
Wow,
What an amazing worship set this morning. You can zoom over to richkirkpatrick.com to see the worship set-list. Guest worship leader David Upton was such a pleasure to have back in town. And knowing his style of music I decide that I would mix things a little hotter than a normal Sunday. Typically we run […]

This morning was one kicking time of worship. One of the other sound mixers looked back at me in service, smiled and gave me a thumbs up. And one of the other sound mixers (who is very tone picky) loved it. You can look at the set list this afternoon at www.richkirkpatrick.com
This morning was also […]

How good of a spiritual leader was I? I felt woefully un-gifted in some of these areas, yet highly gifted in others that […]
