    Last time I attended a service all I could think was, “How would you explain that you spent $250,000 on the sound system?”

    Took my step-son to that same church to witness me voting, trying to set an example. It was like a mini-mall in there.

    Sarcastic child: “Dude! Do they have a Starbucks too?!”

        i’m a church musician lately and the one i play at puts a pot of regular and a pot of decaf on. what they have isn’t bad for drip coffee, but that’s where they are.

        and most of us in the band are of the “coffee? COFFEeE!!” persuasion so they really don’t even need good drip coffee, but eventually we’d start bringing our own grounds and it’d become a thing.

        part of me wants to find one with a coffee shop now, but i really dislike those services.

            so currently i’m just a bass specialist in english handbells. i also sing, i am not great at bass guitar and i just got my sax out of the attic a few months ago and am still rusty. way back in my school days i worked my way through the district’s set of instruments and taught myself how to play everything they had except the double reeds. not necessarily well, but enough that if i wanted to get competent it would only take a couple weeks.
