For anyone interested in a progress report on the first DEC worship recording, here you go!
We’re working hard on 10 songs that will (hopefully) bless our church and speak to our friends and family outside of DEC. So far have recorded drums, bass, organ, some guitars, lots of vocals and choir and keyboards. We have a couple nice surprises for you too. Flute, more vocals and guitars yet to go. And we’re choosing the name of the project as you read this!
Hopefully more soon!

Kathy Schlentrich’s Hope
Friday, February 5th, 2010
This week, as DEC turns our attention to the Christian’s hope (what it is, where it comes from, what it means for today), I thought I’d share a testimony, of sorts, of the hope a Christian has - and what it means, practically speaking.
My friend, Kathy Schlentrich, kindly offered to share a song she wrote called, “Against All Hope.” She agreed to let me post it here on my blog. Of her song, Kathy writes,
“I wrote this song in response to my mother’s death from cancer. There was no evidence when she died that she had a saving relationship with the Lord and people said to me that she could have accepted him before she died, but that thought didn’t give me peace. What finally brought me to a place of standing on the rock of faith was not the uncertain hope that my mother had accepted the Lord before she died, but rather the certain hope that God is good and just, and that I can trust Him to be the Righteous Judge of the whole world.”
I hope you’ll find Kathy’s lyrics encouraging. I had hoped to post Kathy’s recording here as well - and as soon as technology catches up with me, I’ll come back and add it. Thanks again, Kathy. 
Against All Hope
Words & Music by Kathy Schlentrich
Against all hope, I am hoping to receive
Against all hope, I am choosing to believe
The promise you have given that what you say, you’ll do
Against all hope, I place my hope in you
I place my hope in you, O Lord
And I believe that you will keep your word
I place my hope in you, O Lord
And I believe that you will keep your word
Against all hope
You are good, you are faithful every day
Lord of all, I will trust you, come what may
Powerful but gentle, righteous, kind and true
Against all hope, I place my hope in you
Against all hope, I place my hope in you
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed
Romans 4:18
