We only have so much time… I’ve been reminded of that recently. An innocent x-ray showed something very unexpected, and I’m needing to get both stress and diet under control, or face more than an x-ray…
You know, I am a driven person. I like to get things done. I like to successfully complete tasks. Those things ARE important, don’t get me wrong. They are not, however, the important part. People are the important part. The church is the people – not the building, not the services, not the place that supplies your job. Those things HELP the church. I forget this a lot. A lot. Maybe that’s why we keep getting reminders that we only have limited time. So that the focus stays where it should – on the people that God has placed in our care… I pray for forgiveness for messing that up as often as I do.

Hmmm - well, let's see...
I'm a Christian, a husband, a dad, a son, a pastor, a consultant, a musician, a writer, and bits and pieces of a bunch of other things. My work life has followed three main phases - business to teaching to church. I was the Weekend Services Pastor for nine years at Northview Church, an awesome church in the Indianapolis suburbs. I used to work for Willow Creek, another awesome church in the Chicago area. Plus I've written for various magazines and websites, and other freelancy sorts of things... My life mission is to help the church be as excellent as it can be.
Oh yeah - the name's Greg. Greg Wallace. But not the race car driver or the major league pitcher or the British celebrity chef. Just the creative worship guy. Hi.
It's my hope that these ideas, musings, rants, raves, etc... will inspire you. They're just my opinions - but again, I hope that they'll help to inspire you. Because the church really, really needs inspired creative types. If you're a creative type (and most people are, deep-down), ask God for help. Then take any ideas that are useful to you - borrow them, nab them, use them, adapt them - and make them into something greater...
