Sunday...

Sunday afternoon. We had a light set this morning. Three songs with medium energy, then a new speaker came up. He had a good message about the Holy Spirit. He had obviously done a good bit of prep work on it.

After the main session, we got together to discuss the evening's plan. Then we decided to meet in one of the hotel restaurants to watch the Colts game. It's on right now. The Colts aren't looking so good at the moment, but it's a long way to the end. Christin, Adam's wife, had just left to head back for Indy. I've got my laptop in the restaurant and am making some changes to the website, editing some pictures and (obviously) writing for the blog. The minute that Adam came back to the table with his PowerBook, I dumped over a glass of water. There doesn't look to be any long-term damage, but it's powered off with the battery out for now. Say a prayer. I'd hate to be the end of a PowerBook.

So, as I look around the table, it's Adam, Kyle, Matt, Cam, Joy, Rene, Jamie, Cory and me. Our band is becoming a nice little community. I'm enjoying this moment, except that the Steelers just scored their second TD.

This morning, I had sort of a hard time getting into the worship frame of mind. I hadn't slept too well, and just wasn't feeling it. We took the stage, Adam read some scripture, and that grabbed me. Then we did Your Grace Is Enough and Matt pulled out the disco groove on the chorus. I was totally in at that point. I thought back on it later and decided that this is one of the reasons that it's important to have a good foundation of godly friends. For one, they'll help when you need it. Another aspect, though, is that they'll provide someone for YOU to give help to. You can get outside of yourself and join your life with theirs. It's that relationship that provides God a context to reveal Himself.

I'll write more again later... I'm going to watch the Colts and pray that the self-destruction stops.
