		<description><![CDATA[The current economic climate is not good for anyone.
I know that.
And I know you know that.
But some of us are feeling it worse than others.
Take Desi and I for example…
We bought this house in February of 2008.
Then moved out in June that same year.
We didn’t lose the house or anything; we still own it.
We moved [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=noisemakersunited.com&blog=5971230&post=901&subd=noisemakersunited&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we talked about some of the things that make hard to create chemistry between band members when you have a lot of different musicians playing at different times.
At Crossroads, we’re trying to put some things in place to help us create chemistry between our different band members.
Probably the most important thing you can do [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=noisemakersunited.com&blog=5971230&post=897&subd=noisemakersunited&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chemistry is an important thing in any relationship. Especially when it comes to your band members in your church. You can never overestimate the power that is added to the music when the band gets along, works well together, and enjoys playing with each other.
I’ve discovered that this can a little more difficult to achieve [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=noisemakersunited.com&blog=5971230&post=894&subd=noisemakersunited&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a very tricky subject. The reason I say it’s tricky is because nearly 100% of churches don’t and honestly can’t pay band members. With that being said, let me tell you that this is not a post about why you should or shouldn’t pay band members. Crossroads is the first church I’ve ever [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=noisemakersunited.com&blog=5971230&post=888&subd=noisemakersunited&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a great weekend, and it all started with serving at The Pantry &#8211; Douglas County.
It was great to open up the Noisemakers Experiment by serving at a great place that Crossroads has partnered with. The Pantry is a very well oiled machine; everyone there really knew what they were doing. And if you didn&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=noisemakersunited.com&blog=5971230&post=881&subd=noisemakersunited&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
