There's a man in our church named Bob. Bob has horrible rhythm, but he absolutely, unashamedly, unwaveringly loves music and singing to God. I must confess that, in my more anal moments as the worship leader, I am tempted to wish that he were not so enthusiastic. However, I am always challenged by this to remember that he is teaching me by his enthusiasm. This is why I love Bob. He helps me to remember that things like the music, the keeping of time in the service, getting on stage at the right time, making sure that the announcements don't go on too long, wearing the right clothes, whether the sound is perfectly mixed, and even my own attitude are not the point of corporate worship. Bob helps me to remember that corporate worship is about glorifying only God, not me too, and enjoying the presence of others who adore Him. That's why I love Bob.
