Yeah, that's me, all right. 🙂

Me too. Are you of Mennonite descent?

Humility at its best leaves us all in awe of Grace. Thanks for sharing

+Mark Pettigrew why did he kick you out Mark?

Joel Stevens IMHO, because I had the audacity to tell him that I thought pastors were not exempt from criticism. I like Glenn's talent, but that left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Mark, I know a guy in Jacksonville, FL who used to set up a booth at the flea market on the weekend. He tole me how he tried to get Wendi Kaiser to shake his hand once after a concert. I think she blew my friend off and ignored him. This was back in the 80's. Anyway, this guy was still stung and hurt and resented the HELL out of how he felt Wendi SNUBBED him at that time. I will only say that I'm glad to some extent that I've never met Glenn Kaiser or members of REZ and so I have never been disappointed by these people who are only human, and who may try to avoid public interactions, who knows. It's so hard to make music, to write it, to create it, to make it work musically. It's so hard to put a sermon together, studying, planning, etc. To an extent pastors and musicians and the like are PERFORMERS who have brought something for us to consider, to enjoy, to be blessed from. It's very hard for strangers to make a satisfying connection. How many inspired handshakes can a person make. How many people can a person stand to meet after a live show, when you are tired, when you have already given so much from the pulpit or from the stage. I'm just saying, I understand how you feel. Real people are much removed from who we THINK THEY ARE. Maybe the band members think we don't look cool, or handsome/pretty or even intelligent. We might seem like CREEPS to them after they just came off a stage as Christian ROCK STARS. It's hard to SHIFT GEARS. And as far as CRITICISM, you do know how HARD it was for REZ to make it as a band don't you with so MANY record labels, Star Song, Light Records, Sparrow and then they started their own record label GRR Records. Those record labes had an idea of what Christian Music should sound like musically. ROCK was considered something of the FLESH, like SEX or something. Rez paved the way for a flood of no name bands that have little talent but do well enough because the resistance to such bands playing for Christ has melted away. Rez was in many cases a MARTYR for bands that would follow them. Glenn and Rez would NOT be SHAMED by conservative or anally clenched Christians who were afraid of rock and roll guitar solos and vocals.

I have met Glenn on multiple occasions. He is very humble, a true servant in every way. Sorry for your experience. Mine was quite different.

woah. im not sure how to react to this
