The Little Pastor

So here I am, I finally get away from the guy and now I am doing this blog thing. I hear that people actually read this stuff (although I may be light-years behind the bell curve), nonetheless i am finally doing this thing.
Recently my friend posted a blog about the pet peeves that he has concerning the title of CP (Children's Pastor). So in response to that blog here are a few things to dispute the rantings of the Littlepastor ... some of you may find humorous! (check out his block here at http://littlepastor.blogspot.com/2008/05/abnormal-childrens-pastor.html)

1. I am a man - no argument there - leave that one alone
2. "I hate puppets" - I have actually seen several puppets in the dungeon at your place of work. May want to go look for those! Or you may be saving them for the recycle of the times
3. "I hate Kid's music" - I know for a fact that you play some Yancy downstairs :)
4. "I have never, nor ever will I, dress up like a clown" - I have secret evidence that you dressed up as an indian once - for the village people (refer to #1)
5. "I don't like 'Christian' movies for kids" - well...I dont like christian movies for adults either
.... I think I will stop here -

I love you man!

Now Is The Time

So today has been the official end to my first real week at my new church location. I have to say that when I woke up this morning I was excited - I was ready to take on the day. Sure, there are still lots of things that have to take place, some fears to overcome and whatnot - but hey!!! Why else do we live, but to live in the moment.

I keep going back to something that I wrote years ago about living in the moment.

The moment encompasses everything that we are, everything that we do, everything that we feel! It is only the highest moments where we find ourselves completely lost, yet content. It is where the music, sound, lighting, emotions, smells, visuals all line up perfectly. It is the climax of Beethoven's 5th, or when Rocky reaches the top of the steps. It is when everything is working...together.
I want to those moments everyday. I need those moments.
But what I have come to realize as truth...is that defining moments only come when I am not looking for them... but instead when I am simply lost... in the moment.

I am writing this as if someone is reading this - but I have no clue how to get people to read these - so I guess I am writing this for myself. I believe I will treat this that way - my personal journal. So there we go!
