The Devil Went Down to Georgia

This started as a joke, and ended the same way. We have an amazing electric violin player at church named Kintaro and a great worship leader who can sound a lot like Charlie Daniels. Put those two together and you naturally get the song, The Devil Went Down to Georgia. I suggested it and Shanan, our worship leader suggested right back that I do it. As anyone who knows me will attest, I'm tone deaf - but there's minimal singing in this, so I figured what the heck, I'll give it a try. I'm great with being up in front of a group of people speaking, but doing this was super awkward for me (and everyone else listening). I'm clearly no Newton Peters.



In the end, it went off alright and was fun to do, even though I look pretty and odd through most of it. The song symbolizes so much about what I love in my church. We're a group of people who love to do life together and are even up for doing the out of the ordinary in a fun, family way, like this. It doesn't have to be perfect, just our best.
