One year ago, I went for it, opting to nail a bucket list item, by starting a resolution outside of the confines of that dreaded first week of the year, when failure looms heavily on all who try to make a change. One year ago, I was inspired to remove the dust from this URL, which I’d been squatting on for several years.
This article appeared in the Fall 2014 issue of Worship, Music & Ministry, the journal of the United Church of Christ Musicians Association. It was my first published article.
Introduction
Staff working in smaller churches must keep themselves from the temptation of thinking that certain projects are not possible, due to limited financial or human resources.

My wife and I celebrate mooniversaries. Back in the summer of 2001, we were eager to get our new life started, and scheduled a few meetings to make the plans. We knew that we had no money, and we knew that we wanted to get married, but filling in that gap was the hard part.
My dear sister-in-law challenged me, and this is the fine video I created. I hope you will enjoy it. As you can see, from now on I won’t be in an optimal state to dump water on my head.
I know that this site doesn’t look great right now. But, I’m working on it! Give it some time, and please do come back. I’m working with some tutorials, so from time to time, things may look askew, but I’m trying to keep posting content even while things shape up around here.
