So, worship service at Monterey....it's gets cheesier and cheesier every week. Yesterday, Rachel and I arrive at church to find a huge "stone" platform has been erected on stage. Kinda weird. Anyway, our preacher was preaching on the wise man who built his house upon the rock. Good parable, cheesy (and a little weak) lesson especially for the time spent on building the "rock." Afterwards, we were all invited to go up after the service to pray on the rock on our own if we wanted. Weird. I like that we are thinking outside of the box, but do we have to dumb ourselves down and be corny? Hopefully, we were just having an off week.
I am now officially commercial driver licensed. I spent all morning taking computerized knowledge tests and an actual road test to get my CDL. I'm driving one of the school's people-movers for Best Friends this weekend. In true Procrastinator Adam form, I waited until today to get my license to drive the thing legally. I'll be in Stamford all weekend for a retreat that Best Friends and Faith In Action are performing at and also leading groups and stuff. It will be fun, I think I just stay out of the way really.
Well, I thought I would NEVER do this again, but I'm playing intramural basketball. Matt signed me up (unbeknownst to me) for the faculty/staff team. We are gonna have our butts handed to us, but oh well! First game: tonight @ 7. I'll let you all know how far my skills have deteriorated. They weren't that great to start out with!
PREDICTION:
See Ya!

Please don't do that! If you don't come to Portland in a few weeks - i'll cry!
Good luck with all your stuff ... is there any other way than procrastination?
The Rock idea is outstanding! I think I will preach from Ezek. and use the image of the man cooking over poo! Picture a big pile of burning fecal matter on the stage...then afterwards the people could gather around the fire and pray. Better yet...what if we got a cross, some sticky notes, and had people nail their sins to it? Top it off with a Michael W. Smith song, BAM! If we are lucky people will cry and be "moved."
Hey man happy Ash Wednesday.
"Have Mercy on me o God according to Your steadfast love for all of my cynical views towards the church"
AMEN, bro!! There is nothing that says "true heart of worship" like poo-flavored BBQ. I'm crying now just thinking about it! Moving...absolutely moving. Anyways, I'm going to hell. Good to hear from you. Hope the whole packing thing and house selling thing is going well. Later!!
