Have you ever been really excited about something? Well I have been lately. I don’t think I even realized how excited I was about the possiblity till after the meeting. It seemed to go so well. . . I’m hoping that it is God’s permisabble will to allow it to happen. Misty is excited, I’m excited and we are both praying for His will to be done. But I believe it would be good for our family, good for Chase and renewing for our Spiritual and family life.
Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot about where I live that I love, but things haven’t always worked out in ways that I could have possibly imagined. It’s time for a since of pleasure and purpose to be restored, I believe and I think this opportunity is it.
Hey I just got back from PK 2006 Unleashed at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX www.nooma.com. . . The Dust clip is really good. This is the first I’ve seen Rob Bell and he wasn’t there just the Dust video. . . but wow it was really good. . .
Everything else at PK was great too. . .it was just Rob’s way of talking about the past, scriptures and God’s eternal purposes for our lives that really clicked with me. Feel free to watch the streamed clip, it’s not nearly all of the teaching video but it has a glimpse. . .
The most powerful part to me was the explanation of the 1st Century Jewish world, the reverence and honor the Rabbi’s held in their life and the select nature of becoming a follower of a Rabbi. Rob says that only the best of the best of the best got picked and by the time they were devoted to following the Rabbi for their entire lives each student would have memorized the entire Old Testament and known much of the sayings and commentary related to each of the passages. Gives a whole new appreciation to Paul who was said to have studied under the Rabbi Gamalial (sp?) But it really gives a whole new appreciation to realize that Jesus choose, Commen Men, Fishermen, tax collectors and sinners and he said “Come Follow-Me” Jesus saw a potential in each of them that others didn’t see. . . It’s amazing He has said the same thing to you and to me. . . “Come Follow-Me” . . .
So will you? Do you see yourself the way God sees you?
