A New Liturgy

Posted in creativity on 01/30/2012 by mark novelli

I just spent some time listening to A New Liturgy (no. 1 & 2) by Aaron Niequist.

I’ve had the privilege to work on a church staff with Aaron and serve with him in several conference and retreat settings. I’ve always appreciated the thoughtful and creative approach that he takes to leading worship gatherings.

Aaron is among the best that I have encountered at crafting deeply thought through experiences that weave together music, prayers and passages. I think that A New Liturgy pushes us to think about worship as something more than a song set.

As I listened, I felt called to slow down, be present, and engage with God. I appreciated the deep threads that run through each of these liturgies. I’m excited for others to have a similar experience as they listen. I’m also excited for those who plan worship gatherings to be inspired to create their own New Liturgies!.

12 Helpful Tips from Seth Godin

Posted in creativity on 12/16/2011 by mark novelli

One of my favorite authors, Seth Godin, posted 12 tips that I found helpful on his blog:

Assorted tips, hope they help

  1. No stranger or unknown company will ever contact you by mail or by phone with an actual method for making money easily or in your spare time. And if the person or company contacting you asserts that they are someone you know, double check before taking action.
  2. Don’t have back surgery. See a physiatrist first, then exhaust all other options before wondering if you should have back surgery.
  3. Borrow money to buy things that go up in value, but never to get something that decays over time.
  4. Placebos are underrated by almost everyone.
  5. It’s almost never necessary to use a semicolon.
  6. Seek out habits that help you overcome fear or inertia. Destroy those that do the opposite.
  7. Cognitive behavorial therapy is generally considered both the quickest and most effective form of addressing many common psychological problems.
  8. Backup your hard drive.
  9. Get a magnetic key hider, put a copy of your house key in it and hide it really well, unlabeled, two blocks from your house.
  10. rice cooker will save you time and money and improve your diet, particularly if you come to like brown rice.
  11. Consider not eating wheat for an entire week. The results might surprise you.
  12. Taking your dog for a walk is usually better than whatever alternative use of your time you were considering.
