I HATE waiting. I mean really hate it. I am action-oriented (or maybe that it’s just that I have control issues), so I almost would rather hear bad news (and be able to start reacting to it) than have to wait for news. But sometimes, it takes time to make good things happen, and sometimes you need to say enough is enough.
We painted our stage and platforms white for Christmas, and the plan was to change it back as soon as possible to make sure that Christmas Eve remained a special service. However, everyone needed a break. Some downtime after an extremely busy season of ministry. So we made it work. Changed up the look a little, took down the Christmas tress, but kept the risers and stage color for a few more weeks and adjusted. You know what? It worked. Everyone is better rested (by at least a bit) and we can head into our next season of ministry with revitalization. Now we move ahead…gradually…

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...
