When I was in seminary, I was one of the graduate assistants for the Oratorio Chorus, a 200+ voice choir made up of community singers and seminary students. During that time, I had the pleasure of serving with a few other graduate assistants. We put in long, hard hours producing concerts, managing logistics (logistics for a 200+ voice choir is murder; as a result, I can manage just about any project you give me now without blinking), rehearsing, and just about anything our director could throw at us. And yes, sometimes he did actually throw things at us, like the time we all told him we couldn’t be at one last rehearsal for a tour to Israel because we were flying to Chicago a day early to play around. We almost lost our lives that day.
In times like those, you develop very close, lifelong relationships. One of the guys I served with is now a worship leader in Georgia. Yesterday, Scott wrote a blog post entitled “10 Things a Man in Church Should Do.” I didn’t read it when it first came into Google Reader because I thought it was going to be a comical post and I wanted to wait until today to read it. It wasn’t comical; it has sound advice, a lot of which isn’t limited to usefulness for men. I encourage you to take time to read it.

P.S.–Scott, if you ever find yourself moving to Charleston, you will need to know how to tie a bow tie.
