Just me?

I really don't feel like writing about church. . . .


I wonder if our biggest fear as christians is thinking we're all alone in our dissatisfaction with religion.

Glorybound

So I have this friend Josh. He and I are the hosts for this youth gathering called Glorybound that's happening in November. We were amazed that people asked us to handle the job, seeing as we're pretty much totally irresponsible and lazy with just about every other part of our lives. We put together an intro video that's already on the site. More will be comeing soon. Josh has handled the editing of all our videos so far, and let me say he's done an amazing job. Aside from being a youth director, Josh is also a skydiver who blogs about his jumps here. Actually he hasn't updated in awhile, so hopefully me talking about it will get him back into posting. Skydivers have some pretty wild stories from time to time, and it's fun to read. I mean c'mon, he jumps out of freakin airplanes; he's bound to have some good stories.

Hmmmmm.

Overheard on a christian radio station in Dallas. From Nate Sallie's new tune Whatever it Takes.

Who was to try to live without you
Thinking I could do things my own way
Lord I know that I should never doubt you
I get so lost and lonely when I stray
Now it's time to
Surrender to you
'Cause I'm just a man who believes
And it's you that I need

Whatever it takes
That's what I'll do
I'd give anything to get back to you
I know I was wrong
And I've made some mistakes
But I'm gonna do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes

I'm standin' here 'cause I've got nothing to lose
I lost it all when I walked away from you
This time around
I won't let you down.

Dang, I wonder what Bible he's been reading?
Mine says things a little different.

The Result

Well, the weekend retreat was great. The van rental went smoothly and we even got to meet some new, interesting people.
