A lot of Pictures!

I thought I would post some pics from the California trip since I was checking them out myself:

You can't really put this into words.

It is crazy to think Elevate is almost over. Tonight is the last night! It was a great conference and I really had an awesome time in California. Tonight's set:

Without You

Solution

We Shine

All Because Of Jesus

Beautiful Jesus

From The Inside Out

Look for videos coming out next week!

Indiana Jones

We had our first session of Elevate yesterday and it went very well. The kids seemed to have an awesome time during the worship.

Last night we decided to go see Indiana Jones 4. I have always loved the Indiana Jones Trilogy, so I knew I had to see this one!

Well, not to spoil it for anyone who wants to see it....so if you are going to, PLEASE STOP READING NOW!

To be completely honest, I was pretty disappointed. If anything, I thought that maybe Harrison might have a little trouble pulling the crazy stunts (or at least looking like he did) but he did well. Shia did awesome as usual. That kid is going places man. He is really talented. 

The movie was good until the last twenty minutes or so. I won't give away anything, but when you go see it, you will know what I am talking about for sure!

Tonight we have a session around 7:30. I am excited about getting back up on the stage, it was a little hard yesterday since I have been out of it for almost a month!

Here is last night's set:

Solution- Hillsong

Beautiful Jesus- Kristian Stanfill

Blessed Be Your Name- Matt Redman

Marvelous Light- Charlie Hall

Everlasting God- Brenton Brown

Let God Arise- Chris Tomlin

Well Crap!

Friday morning I woke up with a sore throat. Saturday morning I woke up with an achy body, and today I am just plain miserable! I hate being sick! What sucks even more, is that I get on a plane in a couple of days and I'll tell you, that pressure that you experience when taking off and reaching the right altitude, OUCH! When your sinuses are already killing you, that sends you down for the count!

I have gotten some medicine and I will be trying to get better asap! I would hate to be in CA and be miserable. I will be posting some videos up here soon during Elevate. I will be trying to record (Lord willing) every session so that you guys can check the myspace page and the youtube page for live stuff. It should be pretty awesome! Brad and the guys did awesome last year, so I am really looking forward to playing with them again.

Keep us in prayer...my wife is REALLY sunburnt from laying out way too long yesterday...so she is dying!

Keep checking back for updates and videos!!

Update

It has been an interesting week down in Georgia. I have been trying to tie up some loose ends with the Elevate Conference. It's only two weeks away! I am looking forward to seeing the west coast again.

I talked with Jon today about the worship E.P. and he has gotten Without You finished and is sending it to me this evening! I am really looking forward to hearing the final cut. Some of you have previewed the quick mix at the Myspace page . I will post the full length song soon, so keep checking back!

I have some other news to post at a later date, so keep checking the myspace and the blog for more info!

Elevate

I am excited to be leading worship again at the Elevate conference this year in San Diego. Last year, Courtney and I pretty much fell in love with that area. (We are told it's the best part of California) I would still like to travel up to where those big red wood trees are, that would be pretty awesome to see.

I mean seriously, can you imagine standing under a tree that huge? God is amazing!

Here is a picture from Elevate last year. This is what you see when you walk out of the auditorium:


There is something about being up this high and actually looking down onto the Pacific. Where I am from, you are always sea level and the ocean does not look near as big. Here, it looks like it goes on forever. This was the first time I had ever seen the Pacific Ocean, and it was straight up incredible!

Keep checking back for updates!

I have posted a few sample clips of some new tunes I have been working on. They are not finished obviously, but they are getting there. To check them out, please click on the link: www.purevolume.com/chaseworship

Also, I will be playing at Crave again in a few weeks (November 4). I am looking forward to that! If you would like directions please visit www.myspace.com/the7venue and you should be able to find them there. I hope to see some new faces coming out that night. I look forward to playing some original tunes.
