embracing life

Another perspective on life, worldviews, and God - and how they all fit together in everyday experience. Simple stuff.

I had this amazing revelation the other day. I have no idea what I am doing! And I love it. I mean it sort of freaks me out, sometimes I get nervous and sleep is limited while canker sores are plenty. But I deeply believe that finally admitting I can't do will allow someone Greater to do something great! And that is what I have been longing for.

I threw away one of my favorite t-shirts the other day. It was at least 10 years old and more like a sleevless rag...but we had bonded, I loved that shirt. We shared many great experiences but over time I began to hide my shirt, exposing only the collar. One day I realized I didn't really need the shirt. I wasn't using it and I didn't need a hol(e)y, cotton memorial. So I tossed it, no longer part of my life. No big deal. Church?

I've been described as even Steven. There is no real change in me between happy, sad, excited or angry...at least on the outside. So sometimes I just have to tell you how I feel and you have to choose to believe me even if you can't tell. So let me tell you something. I have never been more excited to be a pastor or a follower of Christ (I still call myself a Christian too). I love the church and what is emerging in San Diego with Citywalk. And never in my life have I more deeply hoped that every single person I meet will love God, live like Jesus and be a part of our church. I don't want anyone to miss it.
