Aliso Viejo Music Director - Alan Cross

I have been finding that life is a journey of the heart. Which means a lot for us. More than I am able to verbalize. Yet what I can share, is that any worthwhile journey, any wellspent life, must be full of aching and longing, of burning sensations and mountaintop experiences, of death valley devastations and quenched thirsts, still also of safe vulnerability, and an awareness of beauty, but most of all, a truly honorable life must be brimming with extravagant love. Indeed loving involves all of these other things too, and such is the secret to true life.

Sometimes extravagant loving is like an uphill treck through an impossibly thick rainforest. Overbearing humidity, sticky skin, slippery surfaces, treacherous beasts! Thankfully, extravagant loving can also be like whisking down a state fair slide on one of those oversized peanut sacks!

Life...sometimes painstacking,sometimes knee slapping, but always good. Always good, when you live and love from the heart, with passion, and always good when your hope comes from the Lord.

- Alan Cross - Worship Leader\Music Director

Psalm 37:4-7 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord;trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justic of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.
