A Few Scattered Thoughts..

A certain friend does this thing with his blog almost every Sunday night.  He just starts to type bullets about his day & his thoughts usually go into a really interesting direction.  I thought I’d try this out for a bit & see what I think.

Every Monday night for the next four weeks (excluding next week-  could end up being posted on Sunday).  I’m going to post some of my thoughts on the weekend, as well as the week ahead.  Play this song while you read-  Could make this post more interesting and make your day a little better at the same time!

• Love the fact that I go to a church that isn’t afraid to topple the ’sacred cows’ that the Church as a whole is too afraid to even address.
• Took too many notes on yesterday’s sermon.  Ran out of room to write and there was still five minutes to go in the message.  We should offer bigger worship guides to frantic note-takers.
• Seems that I’ve been forgetting to eat lately.  I ran around all day yesterday on just two cups of coffee and a Nutri-grain bar.  Wish I knew where my energy came from!
• Discovered one of my favorite guitar lines to play EVER.  And from a worship tune-  Check out this guy do a semi-ok job  of covering it.  Love the stripped-down simplicity, yet harmonic tone of the melody.  Sounds much better when I play it though! 
• Spent a total of five hours at Starbucks today and yesterday.  Could be a Pro, could be a Con.  You decide.
• Really, really pumped about my future.  Wish I could skip the rest of high school & keep doing what I’m doing now.
• That’s not reality, however.  I WILL go into this next school year with Spiritual armor and a desire to see change in my generation.
• Been constantly reminding myself of this line from a sermon lately:  “What is the one thing you would do for God if you knew you could not fail?  Now do it-  because you are a coward that doubts God’s power if you believe He won’t move you in a position to fulfill that task.“   INTENSE!
• On a less heavy note, I really like my new Mac.  Always felt like a Mac person at heart-  bound to a sentence of using PCs. 
• Installed Covenant Eyes on it too.  Didn’t feel like risking the integrity of my future for a dangerous temptation that I don’t even need in the first place.  I feel so much better, and you should do the same.
• The entire church staff is volunteering with some great people tomorrow-  Get to head up some ‘Olympic Games’ for summer camp kids.  It involves water!
• Discovered the Mac app ‘Things’.  I really like it-  but still trying to convince myself that paying the $50 to keep it is worth it when the trial time is up.. Going to be a tough call.
• I feel like my greatest desire to write comes late at night.  So weird.
• Shared vision with a great guy today-  Hard to find people with the same level of commitment and passion to serve that he possesses.  So encouraging!

That’s all I’ve got for you, folks.  Please give me feedback if you like these kinds of posts-  Not used to them, so they feel a little random.

Night!
