Welcome back. You belong here.
This week I was feeling out of it, things bugged me, people, places, etc. But amidst it all God did some amazing things. For example, one person this weekend told me about how they had a bird feeder stolen from their front lawn. That simple story gave me such perspective when a few days ago someone turned over our bench from our front lawn. It just helped.
Many things like that happened this week. I saw God do His work in people inspite of not doing well personally. I feel so humbled when that happens. It's good to feel like we're not the ones "helping" God, but realizing that God works even when we are off.
Have a great day,

Today I Played Outside the Democratic National Convention
Welcome back. You belong here.
I live in Denver, and this week is an amazing week to live here. Today, I played music at Creek Front Park outside the Pepsi Center at the Democratic National Convention. It was a unique experience.
The best part of the day was talking to a person who wanted money. I gave him my lunch and two bottles of water. We also met Chris, a person who needed to know that God could still forgive him, he's a sex offender.
But more could have been done. I'm still thinking of what that all means. I just know that to do worship songs and pray is not everything, we have to do more.
It's so amazing to be here. A lot of police and Denver SWAT around, many protesters, the typical anti-abortion trucks with offensive grotesque images and then your average t-shirts with crazy stuff on them like the one with a picture of Obama and Hillary, "Bro's Before Hoes"
I'm going back this week to serve some more and also hoping to catch Rage Against the Machine at the Denver Coliseum on Wed.

A Car Hit Us
Welcome back. You belong here.
While at our school's parking lot, we came out and noticed someone ran into the side of our car. It's still running, it's not totaled, but still. We don't have collision, but we have uninsured motorist, but no note, no license plate, it was a hit and run.
We've been staking out the school parking lot trying to find the car that hit us. I remember the car when I parked next to it, and from the color of the scrapes on our car that must be it.
What a hassle. We just dropped a bunch of money last week to get the transmission and other stuff fixed and now this.
Arghhhh....

Obama and McCain at Saddleback
Welcome back. You belong here.
UPDATE: This article says the same thing.
Watching the Obama/McCain Saddleback videos on YouTube, one thing is very obvious to me:
McCain - MODERN
Obama - POSTMODERN
Based upon your worldview, even more than the issues, my guess is you will vote for the candidate that "sounds good" to you, which in turn speaks to your world view. Of course, some people ride the fence, but that's different.
Are you a modern or a postmodern? Type it into Wikipedia and see how the candidates and you compare.
Pretty exciting elections this year. We actually get to vote between two different worldviews and the shift that is happening all around us from modern to postmodern.

Dont' Have to Be Bound
Welcome back. You belong here.
One of the big things I've learned over the years is that I'm a loyalist and sometimes to my detriment. Instead I'm learning to be real and honest, personally and in every aspect of life. That's brought me a lot of freedom in the last few years, freedom to follow God and not be stuck with myself.
