I am going to put new hard ware and electronics on it. But for now I am in process of sanding the body to prep for wood stain.

I would appreciate any tips or do's and dont's from anyone who has done a refurbish before. ]]> Guitar magsepi http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/t203968/ http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/t203967/ Mon, 20 May 2013 06:53:53 GMT Hi my friends in Christ

To put it as succinctly as possible:

I finished my undergrad last year, graduated, moved to Austin for a job, and while I love it here, I just feel incredibly confused about my future. When I was in college, I felt that I had it all figured out and now I just don't know anymore. I want to do grad school, but the route I was so sure I wanted to pursue in college I'm just not sure if It's what I want to do anymore. I haven't found a church family down here, I haven't even remotely gone on any dates, all my friends are from work and I don't have very much in common with them other than work, and sometimes it feels like all we really do is just go out and drink. Which is incredibly boring after a while.

I feel far from God, I feel confused about my future, I feel confused about what it is that I want from life. I've fallen into the wake-up/work/go-to-the-bar with work friends rut I absolutely promised myself I would never, EVER, fall in. I feel far from my art - I haven't played music with anybody down here (and I lived and breathed to play music back when I was in college/high-school) and I'm just all around depressed as crap. I have a good job, an apartment in a great location, and everything I could want, and I'm so emotionally dead and empty inside. I feel like I've put on such a front of happiness to my mom that it would absolutely destroy her to know just how empty I'm feeling. The only times I really feel happy are when I'm visiting home, playing guitar at my old church, and sleeping in the bedroom I grew up in, but I know that I absolutely cannot revert to being a child. I need to find myself.

Prayer would be greatly appreciated. ]]> Prayer Requests Kenny C. http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/t203966/ http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/t203963/ Mon, 20 May 2013 04:20:25 GMT Hey, I have a prayer request about my church.

About a year ago our pastor at our Alliance church left , leaving the role vacant. We have had a transitional pastor for the past 10 months or so, which was a real answer to prayer. The transitional pastor had just retired from 30+ years of pastoring at another church, so it fit well. However, the last couple of weeks have been really tough on the church.

First off the time that the transitional pastorship is drawing to a close, as the church was hoping to have a new pastor within the next few months. So the church needs prayer for finding the right candidate for the job. But perhaps more pressing is the sudden news that both our transitional pastor and his wife have been diagnosed with cancer, and I know that his wife's cancer is fairly serious. Prayer would be greatly appreciated, as Tuesday his wife gets to go to a cancer clinic and Friday he has a surgery to remove to tumor. ]]> Prayer Requests Caged Love http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/t203963/ http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/t203959/ Sun, 19 May 2013 23:36:29 GMT Some of you may be aware from previous posts of mine that last year, my congregation expanded from 3 to 4 music teams, with the new team being led by... Some of you may be aware from previous posts of mine that last year, my congregation expanded from 3 to 4 music teams, with the new team being led by my wife and myself. Our music team has been going from strength to strength, which is great, but there are circumstances transpiring that require restructuring of the music roster.

There are two key changes. Firstly, one of the other worship leaders (one of the pastoral staff) is going to be leaving our church soon. This is sad for a number of reasons, but times do change. Aside from the fact that he is leaving, his music team is doing very well - he's a great leader who is fantastic at encouraging less experienced musicians and singers to develop their gifts.

The second change is that one of the other worship teams has basically imploded. The worship leader in that team has a very confrontational and dictatorial leadership style, which has effectively lead to people dropping out of his team. I was in his team until I was able to start our new team, which provided me with a diplomatic way of getting out of his team, but the reality is I couldn't have handled being in his team much longer anyway.

So, we effectively have a team without a leader, and a leader without a team, but that leader would not suit the vacant team in the slightest. Fortunately, the pastoral staff have identified this, so the current proposed solution is that my wife and I take over leadership of the leaderless team, and that the other leader step down from the music ministry.

This would result in my wife and I going from leading once every 4 weeks to two times every 3, which is a big step up in commitment that we aren't sure if we can manage - I also have a PhD to try to finish. So prayers for us regarding wisdom in this decision would be greatly appreciated.

The other facet requiring prayer is that the leader being asked to step down has (understandably) not taken this very well. This has put him at odds with the pastor, which makes me a tad frightened for the pastor - this individual has had his hands in forcing the departure of at least one pastor in the past (by his own admission to me) and has definitely worked against the pastor that is leaving soon. Please pray for our pastor and also for the leader being asked to step down. ]]> Prayer Requests to_be_released http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/t203959/ http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/t203956/ Sun, 19 May 2013 22:42:09 GMT Analogman Prince of Tone - Only 2 weeks old, like new with box and everything included.

Does have velcro carefully applied to masking tape on the bottom. Would prefer to trade plus $$$ for a King of Tone, but would sell for $150 shipped ppg.



Blackeye Effects Palmetto - Like new with box, hasn't even had velcro yet. Great pedal, just not sure it's going to fit in my rig right now. $85 shipped ppg.
