worship.

someone brought it to my attention tonight that i've been rather quiet on here lately. i'll leave out his name to protect the innocent...haha

tonight..after a night of worship at church...i found myself praying for everyone leaving.

that we as a church would not be consumers of worship. that our hands wouldn't raise and our hearts swell with emotion in vain.

that the emotions God stirs in our bodies would resound out there...

on the streets...

in our families...

in our work...

as that steve fee song says, "that what we do in here, fills the streets out there..."

i love that line. i feel this is one of the biggest diseases facing The Church today.

we have a whole lot of words...and very few actions.

i pray your life is filled with worship.

that your words are worship...your bodies are worship...your hearts are worship.

i pray The Church learns to worship again.

i haven't really been showing my blog some love lately. not quite sure why. maybe because i feel like i have to be honest here and lately i haven't really been in the mood for sharing to everyone and their grandmother. or maybe it is because some things lose their "newness" and then we are no longer attracted to them. i think that might be it. that's the american way isn't it?

i thought i'd post a few pictures of what i've been up to lately.

i got a hair cut last saturday...she made it pretty. i can't quite get it to look like this. i guess that's why she's the professional. either way, my hair has pretty much been in a pony tail since monday because of this very reason.




i've mainly just been doing a little bit of this:



erica caught me trying to play my guitar left-handed. you'd think playing it this way would feel more comfortable since i'm left-handed but this was not working out so well.



anyway...so as you can tell, life is interesting (insert sarcasm).
