I woke up yesterday and thought, hmm, my jaw kind of hurts today. Then I figured out why. There was a knot right on the joint that was big enough that I could see it as well as feel it. It was hugungous and it hurt. Fortunately I have a lot of hair that usually hangs in my face and obscures the upper part of my jawline. The knot is smaller today, but still weird.
Anyway, I was on camera the first two services at church yesterday, which I still don't understand why the person who does the 8:00 has to do the 9:30 also. But that's not the point. The point is that I was mildly annoyed by being on camera for those two services until I got there and we were singing one of my favorite songs (You Are Holy-the one with the parts in the chorus-so fun and fast!). Don't get me wrong-I don't dislike doing camera, I just don't find it interesting enough to do two services in a row, but I don't mind sitting through all three services when I'm on graphics. I'm so weird. Anyway again, there was a video about worship and how we think the worship is great when we sing songs we like, but that it's not good when the music isn't our taste (or is bad, but that doesn't happen often at my church, as we are blessed with many talented musicians). And that is so true for me. I love the singing part of worship, but I don't enjoy it much when we sing songs I don't like. Worship is not supposed to be about us at all, but about God. So it should make no difference whether we like the songs or not. I guess that's one more thing I need to work on.

Totally! I usually think of worship service as something that's for me. But don't you kind of think that one of the reasons it's important for us to attend is b/c it is a time to refresh ourselves and renew our relationship with God? And that video totally made me feel guilty and like I shouldn't actually enjoy worship.
I think that is one of the reasons we need to attend, but I don't think they were saying we shouldn't enjoy worship. I think they were saying we should always enjoy it because it's about praising God and not because we happen to like or dislike certain songs.
I definitely think you should enjoy it. But it isn't about us... You know that one song, where it says "It's all about you"? It's supposed to be all about God. Just like when you love someone else you do things that make them happy. Ex: I don't like Dora at all. But Addie does, and it makes me happy to see her happy.
