I guess I can take a few minutes and answer these questions before I pass this on to some unsuspecting blogger friends.

1) What is the most fun work you've ever done, and why?
This is tough. I love what I do now as the music/creative arts pastor at Peninsula Covenant Church. I am coming up on seven years here, and I've been reflecting on that with a lot of gratitude. Don't they know they never should have hired me? Honestly... I'm humbled and grateful for the opportunity, over a good, long time, to grow and become a worship leader and head of a department. Who knew I could ever do this? God did, I guess, and He allowed me to be planted in some rich soil... PCC is a dream job in a lot of ways. There have been other times of fun, of course. I loved teaching at Desert Christian High School (Lancaster, CA before PCC... just fell in love with those kids. What a cool time we had. (It's been really fun to re-connect with some all these years later right here on Myspace.) And I enjoyed working for Grace College back in the mid-90s.

I have been thinking about it for quite some time, and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Who is this guy? I look like I'm in 10th grade again or something...

I had to leave the gathering at 9:45 to head for San Francisco. Gary and the congregation prayed over me, and they all clapped as I walked up the center aisle. That was a sweet moment, feeling the support and encouragement of my church family... and even like I was being sent out on a mission, to use my gifts for the glory of God.

We arrived at 10:40 or so and walked through the Entertainment Gate into the stadium. We found the people from e2k Entertainment, and I went out to the field for the soundcheck. Then came the wait.

The atmosphere got more and more charged up with excitement.

Back in July, I auditioned to sing the National Anthem for a 49ers game. So, here's my chance, this Sunday at 1:05pm PST. (I'll actually be singing somewhere around 12:45.) They're playing the Seattle Seahawks, and you can read about the game here. Luanne, Josh, Jake and I are going... We get field access passes and box seats and everything! Should be an amazing experience...]]> matt http://www.mattnightingale.net/theblog/profile.php?id=2 2006-11-09T12:44:43+00:00 2007-05-14T17:26:50+00:00 tag:www.mattnightingale.net,2007-05-14:/archives/2/114 Is up here.
