In the immortal words of blues legend BB King: "The thrill is gone! The thrill is gone!" If that describes your marriage, you’re not alone. That’s what this Sunday’s service is all about: How to put the adventure back into your relationship.
Last weekend I went to see Mark Schultz in concert. I was in tears through most of the concert. He’s got a gift for storytelling through songs. Most of the time, I think those types of songs are schmaltzy and manipulative. But somehow, he does it and moves past my defenses.
He told a story and played his new single about a couple he knew who spent their entire lives together. The song Walking Her Home is like a summary of The Notebook, which also devastated me. SPOILER WARNING: We are trying to incorporate the song into this week’s service.
If you want to add spark back into your marriage, I recommend checking out the Family Life website. And they’re running a special on their Simply Romantic Nights stuff. It’s hot. I HIGHLY recommend ordering it.
Also coming this Sunday, I’m excited that a new vocalist, Amber Bogney, will be singing with our band. They’ll be performing a song by a band with a lead singer from New Braunfels that is usually thought of as a one-hit wonder… What song could it be?
