Rock the Universe

Yesterday, I took 19 kids over to Orlando to go to Universal Studios. An event called Rock The Universe was going on. It was awesome. I got to see two of my favorite Christian artists, Tobymac and Jeremy Camp. It was cool. Both rocked the place. It was great to get out of town and chill with some really cool people. Both are the type of men I aspire to be like.

Tobymac is all about diversity, about come as you are before God. He welcomes you where you're at. He said we can build the most impressive buildings, wear the best clothes, talk the best "Christian" talk, and appear successful, but it means nothing. People will only listen if we live a life of Christ's love. This is where I'm at. I want to live a life of love. I want to meet people where they are at and show them the love of Christ. I want to show them that he loves them no matter where they are from, where they are at, or what they have done. I want to show them how He changed me.

I try to walk by faith. I try to live my faith. I've given up so much to be here. Many don't understand it. Many think it is foolish. There are times when people try to pull me away from this, and convince me to change my path. I hope someday they can see why I must walk this road. Christ's love compels me. It compels me because this country has missed the message. You don't have to be holy and perfect to come to Him. You can't be! No one can. The church is for those who realize they are lost, not those who think they are perfect. The church is church is for Christ and his mission to call all people to him. It isn't some exclusive club that is focused on itself.

I'm still waiting for the "sweet"

First they are sour, then they are sweet. That is what the commercials say. We'll, I'm still waiting for the "sweet" I went to go see the Borne Supremacy the other night. I got tempted to buy a bag of sour patch kids, and...well...I did. This used to be no problem at all. I used to eat these guys all the time. Nothing ever happened except an occasional raw tung. Well, in recent years my body has decided that sour patch kids were poison. Yup, thats right. It was all fun and tasty eating these guys. Now I have a rock baby gestating in my kidneys. Yeah, I know. I brought it on myself. I tried to drink tons of water to see if I could keep it from happening, but no luck.
