Thanks to my blog reader who pointed out a small issue with my links. I have been inadvertently adding some extra http:// and causing the links to be inactive. Anyway. The current stuff is all fixed up and the older posts will be corrected soon.
Cool to have people read, and help out.
Peace.

Friends are cool!!
So I had my derriere firmly kicked by a friend recently who discovered that I am not doing enough to promote the CD. He is one of the founding members of the singing group I used to be with (Heart Mind and Soul), and a real talent in his own right. Truth is he needs to start playing, singing and writing again himself, but I will bring that up when its my turn to kick!!
Anyway, sometimes all you need is someone to show a little support to get you moving in the right direction again. Well my buddy has done that. Not just moral support either, he is phoning all over the place, putting my stuff on forums (Rocket Town Records) and phoning radio all over Canada. By the way, starting to work already.
Like I mentioned on another blog, the struggle is huge. I want to shout some of the things I have written to the corners of the earth. There is so much truth and love and suffering and joy and pain that I think can help others when it is expressed. In some small way, I think I can be apart of the minstrels that tell the human story in our time. So I will keep on trying to tell the story in as excellent a way as I can. As I have said before, it isn't art until it touches someone. Enough said.

Where to buy the CD
Besides online, I keep meaning to tell everyone you can get it at Good Books in Oakville ON, or you can get it in the Christian bookstore in Woodstock, ON (they've already sold out once, think I should go there?!). My mom is a good promoter!!
Just thought I would let you know.
Peace.

Anything New?
Well yes. I continue on this road of self-discovery and feel that I am finally coming out of the valley of self deprecation. Sometimes I think the most challenging thing to do is take the 30,000 view of your own life, and wrestle with your own shortcomings from the perspective of committing to improvement.
My primary commitment in work life is to my role as Associate Pastor at the church I am employed at. That is not a particularly visionary look at life however. So what else makes up the journey. Many who come to my site and this blog are following the trip of the artist. How's the CD going, what's coming up in concert dates. The overall list isn't long, but it has some fairly major implications:
1. Associate Pastor of rapidly growing church in Greater Toronto Area
2. Recording Artist with career needing much more investment of time
3. Regional Influencer for the Alliance Denomination in Eastern Ontario and technically out the East Coast (not including Quebec)
4. Consultant with various opportunities continuing to arise
So what is the big take away tonight. It is not about me. Rocket science eh. The hard part is number 2. It has always been the hard part for me. When I was in Heart Mind and soul (my old band), you weren't promoting yourself, your were talking about this entity. It was more easily about sharing an authentic vision of God and Jesus through music. That is still the vision, but now, there is no name to hide behind. Hey I am Cliff Cline and I am good. Bring me in, let me inspire you etc. Lot of me in something that is not about me. Very difficult existential wrestling match all of the time.
On the other fronts, and inclusive of number 2, I have had a personal breakthrough. Develop others. Tonnes of others. Everybody that I work with now, and those who I do not yet know. Make them into the best disciples of Jesus Christ, the best promoters of a Godly vision as possible, and multiply the work and the vision of my big visionary areas aggressively.
It is freeing to see that possibility going forward. Much to be done, and oh, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Charge!!

John Maxwell is killing me!!
You know, committing to grow in knowledge is intellectually admirable, practically painful and always an eye opener. Those that don't commit themselves to it will often find they are self un-aware. (check this blog)
I have been reading a couple of John Maxwell books lately. Finished 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and am most of the way through the 17 Irrefutable Laws of Teamwork.
Obviously there is a lot in these books that I know. The issue quickly becomes, even though you have knowledge, how well are you implementing it into your reality. Leading and Team playing, not mutually exclusive. A friend of mine has repeatedly said to me having a big vision is one thing, but the true test of a leader is actually taking people to where you claim you are going.
Not particularly planning on revealing much more than that today, but man do I have to take it to the next level. Another year of growth it is. Pray for me!

A Little Competition
Well sad to say the golf game is not greatly improving this year. (Definition of insanity may apply here) I did get out early this morning for a round. Front nine, enh, 43(Par37). The back nine started out much worse.
Humourously my playing partner and I were matched with a couple of fellows. One was around my capability (14-18 hdcp). Well, he went on a 5 hole even par stretch. Two things spurred me on, a call from my wife telling me she loved me, and the humiliation of getting whooped. I don't know if I beat him over 18, but he did slow down a little, and I par'd out. Another 43 (Par35).
Nothing like a little competition to get a guy going. This guy at least.

What are your Friends Doing?
So here is a funny and interesting story. When I was 15 I played in a band. Truthfully, for a bunch of 15 year olds we were very good. Vocally I was very strong for my age, but the drummer was also amazing. Frankly, so was the drummer and bass player. The drummer, however, matured first. He moved to Toronto after living with my family for a school year and had amazing success, young, as a drummer. He, I think, is probably some kind of a genious, but drumming is not what he decided he would set his mind on.
I connected with him when I moved to Toronto and found out he was still drumming, but more involved with the technology industry.
The amazing people that designed my new CD cover at Riordon Design have lost a couple of people recetly to a gaming/technology company. Riordon are amazing, and do amazing work, so when I found out they lost these people I assumed the company was one of the bigs. You know where this is going don't you.
So I was working on a booking with someone who used to play with my friend and found out that he no longer plays, but has a gaming company, and has lured the folk that I know from my friends company to his. Small world. More power to you Kevin. All the best. (Silver Birch)

What Next?
Three years ago I made a transition from business into ministry. At the heart of the decision was a desire be apart of an environment that was relevantly communicating the reality of God to the community it was in. I ended up saying no to a church of nearly 1000, to say yes to a church of 260. I knew going in that the smaller church would be way more work, but also that I would have far more involvement in direction and leadership.
Three years, how's it going? Well, we are a church that has seen many more people hear and believe that God is real, that Jesus Christ is real and decided to pursue a life in relationship with God. Very cool. The first year was a year of transition on almost every front. The average attendance was 260. The second year the average attendance went up to 282 and last year the average was 324. That has looked like almost 400 on several Sundays through the past six months. Our evaluation tool (Natural Church Development) has seen improved scores across the board. In fact, we are up from an average score of 51 three years ago when I first arrived to 65. 51 was a sign that pretty much everything needed a great deal of improvement, 65 that everything is running fairly well.
Wow, cool eh. Well here's the kicker. I never thought I would be able to exercise many of my convictions on leadership, administration, strategy, relationships and much more. I have seen the positive effects of being given the freedom to follow my beliefs and abilities to a logical end. So what is the problem? I have done what I always thought I could do. To a very real degree I have been a major part of a difficult but positive turn around. Both from a spiritual and organizational sense our church has gone from less than great to almost great. Now we need to go to the next level. From both a spiritual and a organizational standpoint we need to become the greatest that we can be under God.
John Maxwell in his book "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" describes the Law of the Lid as the innate ability a leader might have to lead an organization to a certain level but not beyond. Two things here, I am not THE leader. I am the Associate Pastor, so I realize that ultimately I needn't fool myself with how much influence I have. Secondly, I do not think I have come anywhere close to my lid, but... I know that I have some serious work to do to make sure that I get way out ahead of where I am today in all the areas I lead. My mission in life is to tell people about God and Jesus Christ. My gift in the church is to make sure that upon hearing and believing, there is an organization there that can properly mentor and disciple them in the way they should go! It's going to be a busy summer of learning!

More Radio
Well it is a slow build, but another station has picked up the CD in Woodstock Ontario - very cool. In fact I may be doing an artist spotlight interview by phone next week. They keyed into the Coffee Shop song which is defnitely a favourite of mine. Every little bit helps. They will also be playing the single and another worship song "We Cry Out". Fun to see the build.

Crazy Month, Delayed Post
Man what a week. Started Sunday night with leading worship at The Church Coffee House and speaking there. Elder's meeting Monday night, Conference Tuesday, lead worship Tuesday night 2 hours away (4 hours round trip), Conference Wednesday, rehearsal Wednesday night, and conference Thursday. I taught a seminar on worship on Wednesday at the conference.
Beyond that we are expecting another staff member to arrive this weekend and the last few weeks have been PM'ing the office reno etc. Moreover there is the short and long-term strategy, annual meeting and report, and audit. There is a lot there.
I am also entering the season of infrastructure changes to the church AV area. I have some amazing help there, but it is still my PM responsibility. The sound board went in this week and there will be many more changes coming, I will keep you posted.
Through it all, it is so important to keep the missional, big picture stuff at the forefront - with humility. That's a constant gut check, a process that is never easy to go through. Through it all one thing - press on man, press on.

Maybe Really Independent (About Distribution)
Well at this point I have not penned a national distribution deal for my new release, Noticing the Sky. I may, however, have to start considering the self distribution option. The gigs have been piling up a little, although slowing right now, and requests from concert goers to bookstores has and will pick up. I may do some additional marketing regarding the online option, but I think I am about to become self-distributed as well. Interesting, I will let you know how it goes.
Talk to you soon.
Peace
Talk to you soon.

Meanderings
This will truly be meanderings tonight. I expect I am going to parse through several very un-related topics but here I go.
I had planned to spend some time reading Fast Company magazine this late evening, one of my favorites, well I relaxed and contemplated life. I am constantly in a state of flux as I evaluate my journey. I went into ministry (as a pastor) 3 years ago tomorrow. I left behind some friends, and a management team that I worked with. When I look back, we were a unique gang of characters, but I really liked them. Very smart, diverse, even eccentric, but good people, I miss them.
I left them, decent money and the potential for one heck of a lot more to chase God. Yeah, THE GOD. The one who some use as a swear word, the one many hate, the exclusive, you don’t get into heaven unless you believe in this one God. Man, weird eh. Not just a career move, not just chasing a dream of music, trying to convince others that God is real. That we are all created by Him and find our meaning in Him.
So how and what I am I doing. Well…. I am a pastor. About 8 months ago I started preaching too. You know, the old fashioned, talk about the Bible and what it means for us today kind of thing. You can check out some talks at www.thechurchcoffeehouse.com. Well, the how gets complicated. I am just a guy. I don’t have all the answers. I do believe I have The answer, just not all the little answers. I know where I am going for the rest of this life and for eternity – but man, a friend on mine’s wife has cancer. I ache for them. Another friend of mine’s wife left him. Heavy.
I love to sing. Love it. Mostly I love to express the spirit of God, of the universe moving in me, but that’s complicated isn’t it. Kind of mystical, kind of weird. But listen to www.cliffcline.com. On my site is the song “Coffee Shop”. That’s the reality of God in my life. The struggle, the art, the beauty of God.
There are people who I loved, still love really, who don’t talk to me anymore. Perhaps I love too easily. One thing I said to one of them years ago, was that “it isn’t art until it touches someone.” In the end I want to create art that touches people. That touches people with the reality of an existence that includes God. I have tried to do that with my CD, “Noticing the Sky”. I humbly recognize that it is an offering, not a masterpiece. I know that, in the end, I will lay my talents and abilities (hopefully ever improving) at the feet of those who will listen to this minstrel and say: “I have been thinking of you, I love you all, you are beautifully created and deserve to be loved in the name of the God of the universe.”
Peace.

Shai Awards - Vote and Help Christian Music Grow
The Christian music industry in Canada is growing, and although I don't have the philosophy of industry, economics and ministry totally firgured out, I think that taken in the right measure even an awards show can be a help to spreading the good news in this land. Moreover, I have a few friends who are very talented and deserving of consideration for an award. Why not take a couple of minutes and vote for North Park Community Churches project on the site below. My old friend Bob Cottrill is the worship pastor who is leading this musical charge - in the jazz side of things no less.
You can help our friends at North Park Community Church in London ON bring home a Shai award by supporting them online and voting for their latest worship release at www.shaiawards.com
Hey spread a little love! Peace.

Hello Dunnville
Last night was another gig. Seems like it has been a little too long since the last. I knew going in it was going to be small, and it was, about 45 people - but it was fun! Played through some old and new tunes on their baby grand and my guitar. The occasion for them was there 73rd anniversary as a church. Pretty cool. I walked into the place and it just felt right. Great spirit, real positive, amazing people.
Moreover, they had the place set-up like a coffee shop! "So we sat around a coffee shop, talked about the things we saw, laughed about the things we hear, wonder what we're doing here." Sorry couldn't resist a line from the song from the CD.
Anyway, next stop will be the Terrace Ball Room for a one song gig for around 700-800 people at the Camp Mini-Yo-Wee 60th anniversary and fundraiser this Friday night. Check out appearences on my site (www.cliffcline.com) for more details. Should be fun to connect with old friends and sing a tune!

New Site Design!!
Not very flashy, pardon the punn, but it is a big step up from the previous iteration. Has the tour dates in a downloadable word file, better pics and graphics use throughout, more songs to listen to online - and of course you can still buy the CD! Enjoy.

Balance
So much to do, and this is technically part of my weekend. Wierd schedule that I have. Time to spend with the family, and yet a great opportunity to push something forward with the second career, the CD.
Literally two of my three beautiful girls are playing around me right now, awfully cute. "Talking on the phone", "getting ready to go out", sweet things. I definitely need to be phoning back radio, trying to book gigs, but the chatter in the background wouldn't fly on the professional side.
Ah, the joys of the many things I do. Jack of all, master of none....maybe.

What's Going On?
Well I realize my blogging is generally unremarkable. I don't know how some can blog so much and get anything else done, nevertheless, here is my bi-monthly input.
There are several areas that are developing right now and I am excited about them all. The worship teams I am working with at the church have grown substantially, and although that creates new organizational and leadership challenges for me - it is great for those involved and for the church. Moreover, to support that we are on a journey of updating technology. We have decided to go with a new sound board the Soundcraft GB4.
We are also installing a new lighting board. A Leprecon Control 24.
On the Noticing the Sky front I have 3 appearances this month, afterwhich I am looking, but I am optimistic things will continue to develop as they have been.
I do have two speaking engagements in May, should I accept the second offer, to speak on worship and the arts in the church. One is to the Eastern and Central District of the Alliance denomination in Canada, and the other is a seminar to the youth in the Eastern District.
All in all there is a lot developing, and I am pleased with how it looks.
Peace for now.

Busy Week
Well after a hiatus from the blog that I can't even believe passed I am posting in response to at least one fan who was frustrated with my lack of output this last month.
This week at church and in concert will be incredibly fun and busy. There will be a double rehearsal Wednesday night for the two Easter Sunday morning services at Valley View and for the concert I am involved with on Friday night. Then Friday morning there will be a rehearsal for the Good Friday service that morning. The Friday morning set will be "unplugged": acoustic guitar, upright bass, drums and well, keyboard, because we don't have a grand yet. Nevertheless it will be a great morning. On top of that there will be short monologue and guitar solo from a new singer/songwriter to our church (although he is known in our community for his talents).
Friday night is the fully plugged in concert with a couple other artists.
It should be a great concert, I am looking forward to having the band with me again after a couple gigs without.
Sunday morning will be a great party service. Big band, big music, lots of vocalists - a great time. A busy week, but a great one.

Sunday morning will be a great party service. Big band, big music, lots of vocalists - a great time. A busy week, but a great one.
