What I'm looking forward to

Thoughts

If any of you are still around reading this then you realize I hardly ever blog anymore.  I usually just share what I’m thinking/doing/whatever on twitter.  Twitter limits you to 140 characters and that works great for my simple little mind.  However as I was getting ready to twitter I realized I was excited about too much stuff coming up and decided 140 characters wouldn’t do.  So here you go.  Here’s what I’m currently looking forward to:

  • Passion Dinner
    • Tonight we are having dinner over at Justin and Brittany‘s place.  This is the first time our group that went to Passion2010 has got together since the event.  The cool think is 8 of us went and I only knew 2 of them (3 if u count myself).  I love that when you go through something that huge together, even with complete strangers, it forms a bond that will last a lifetime.  Reminds me that all of us who have given our lives to Jesus has gone through something huge together and have a bond that will last more than a lifetime; for an eternity.
  • Game Night
    • Tonight at nine some friends are meeting at my place for a night of Settler’s of Catan. Yeah were all dorks but I bet were gonna have more fun than any of you going out and getting drunk and clubbing on a Friday night.  Just sayin’
  • Last night of Conan
    • If you guys aren’t following along with the whole Conan/Jay thing your missing out. Be sure to watch Conan tonight as it is his last show on NBC.  This will be something that will be talked about for a long time probably! Don’t miss it!
  • Census Bureau
    • Huh? Census Bureau? Yeah I’m excited because I may get to pick up some extra dough by working for the Census Bureau.  I go tomorrow for a test and interview.  Say a prayer please.
  • NEWSPRING
    • HECK YEAH!  Me and about 10 of my friends are all going to NewSpring’s 10th Anniversary Celebration!  It is going to be huge.  Huge because our God is huge and He’s gonna be there. Not that He’s not here right now with me writing this and you reading this, but you know what I mean.

Last Letter Documentary

Video

What if we all lived like this? I don’t mean in Memphis in crack houses or in the middle of a jungle with the longest civil war in history. I mean what if we were so in love with God that we would go anywhere, do anything, at anytime for Him without fear of judgement from others or fear of losing our lives? I watched this video and just sat weeping.  I challenge you to watch this video; all of it. Then pray to God a dangerous prayer.  Pray Isaiah 6:8, “Here I am. Send me.” Tell Him you’ll be the one He can ask when ____________ (fill in the blank)

Please watch this. It starts a little slow but it gets better. If you really can’t watch the whole thing start at 4:55.

What if the Pharisees had Twitter

Link Uncategorized

Loved reading this post by Perry over on his blog.

My favorite one:

“BIG DEAL!  So this Jesus guy fed over 5,000 men with five loaves and two pieces of fish.  Seems to me like He is just into trying to do entertaining things to get people’s attention rather than teaching them anything of substance.”
