Not the craziest weekend by any means, but certainly one that went too quickly. On Friday, Heather and I stayed in and watched Mission Impossible. (remember when Tom Cruize was only a little weird?) It was a rainy cold night…which are the best to stay in an watch movies.
Saturday turned out to be beautiful. Still a bit cold, but really great weather. Heather and I did some organizing around the house. Cleaned out the hallway closet, hung some stuff on walls, rearranged stuff and then put it back where it was to begin with. In the afternoon I met up with some guys from church. We went up on my buddy Joe’s rooftop and had some cigars while we talked about church and building up leaders in New York City. One thing we really hit on was how men love a mission…a pursuit of something that burns within us.
I have to say that reaching the lost in New York City is a really fun mission. People here are so real about who they are and where they are in life. If things are terrible or if they just don’t like you, they’ll let you know. Which makes the testimony all the more powerful when Christ come into their lives. Where they were so real in their sin, they are even more real in their love for God and the life it creates.
This leads me to Saturday night…David Crowder Band at the Hamerstein Ballroom. Pics to come soon! Phil Wickham opened for him. We only caught the last few songs of his set, but he’s got a pretty incredible voice. And the lyrics of his songs are pretty much awesome too. Crowder’s band seemed a bit tired (I would be too after 31 show tour) and the mix wasn’t so good from where we were standing. For those who love audio, it was difficult to hear Crowder…along with the snare drum…two of the main things that I love up in the mix. anyway…overall the show was pretty good. I’m a fan of his ability to write some insightful worship stuff that isn’t over your head and isn’t too simple either.
On to Sunday. I went to help a friend do some “installs” on a restaurant window. We basically put huge stickers on huge windows of a restaurant in time square. It’s pretty cool work…creative and detailed, and instant gratification. You see your work completed, and hear tourist comments as they walk by. I’d post pics, but don’t have any.
Then onto church where Heather and I lead worship, which is always a blast. We love our church, and love leading them in worship. nough said.
I bought Christmas candy today. Not because i’m in the Christmas mode yet…but because it’s buy one get one free.
I’m a sucker for a deal, what I can I say?
Peace out.
