Yesterday I had the morning off from playing drums with Merchant Band for the FCF church service because another drummer (we’ll call him Frank) is subbing for me this weekend while my team plays in Dallas since Anna and I will be celebrating our One Year Anniversary.

After sleeping in and getting ready for my day I check my voice mail. I have two messages from Marcus. The first says “Hey man, I forgot to let you know for sure that you don’t have to come in this morning so if you get this then go ahead and keep sleeping.” The next message said “Um, hey Shawn. We’re not sure where Frank is. If
you get this call me.”

At this point it’s already 9:35 and the service starts at 10. So I call Josh to find out that another drummer, Joel, was called up and is on his way. He was at IHOP playing drums, so he got someone else to take over for him but they were using my stuff. So I had to go to IHOP to get my drums stuff back from the guy using it at the time, then race over to FCF, set up and sound-check with the band all in under 10 minutes.

My wife was kind enough to bring me a hot cup of java I got to enjoy after worship. Thanks honey.
