I went to Renaissance Bible Church today in Charlotte, NC.
Uncle Bobby lead worship. He sang a song that he wrote. By the end of my stay here, my goal is to have it recorded and put online.
Pastor Brian preached on Matthew 5 and 6 and connected it very appropriately to a community where the majority of the congregation works for Wachovia or has dealings with Lehman Brothers.
Worry has taken on a new face.
What’s funny is that the majority of the time our worries are not the same that we had last year (or even a month ago). He started out the sermon running on a treadmill. Worry is like a treadmill where you expend energy but don’t go anywhere. He also hooked us with photos of people who work stressful jobs:
Stressful lifestyles and anxiety break us down.
When you take into consideration the people that Jesus was talking to (if you couldn’t afford to pay taxes there was no bailout, there was jail) it’s great that he reminds them of who made them.
The creation story in Genesis 1 is a poem that crescendoes with God’s treasured creation: us. If we read it as simply a scientific proof we lose the love.
I’m going to help Bobby figure out the new audio recorder that he bought and hopefully we can get the new sermon audio online. Also, remind me to show you his MacBook screen fix.

I wonder what President McCain will look like…
Something like this, if my projections are correct.
Another possibility.
What? The guy’s 72.
That’s pretty horrible, Devin. He’s 72, but it’s pretty clear he’s only seeking one term. By grandparents are all in the 70s and I expect them to be here and responsive for a LONG time.
No matter what Party I think we all can agree that being President is not an easy job! Those pictures next to each other really tell a story! Thanks B
That’s not a PhD in horribleness. That’s not even an associate’s in horribleness.
There are far more horrible things I could have gone with.
Like this.
Go ahead, Jeremy. Sing that song!
You know, Reagan didn’t change at all from 1981-88–and he was shot a few years in.
That’s because he was actually an experiment in audioanimatronics from Disney.
He and the Tiki birds toured Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln for a while. Until Reagan got recruited for the Jungle Cruise, climbing up a pole escaping a rhino.
McCain will turn to dust at the end of the first term and the air will take him in front of live TV, followed by CNN saying, “That was just a magic act that the GOP conjured up.”
