Food for thought
I read this on Keith Olbermann's MSNBC blog - food for thought:
"Oh and by the way: how come the “Kerry’s winning” part of the election night exit polling is presumed to have been wrong, or tampered with, but the “Moral Values” part of the same polling is graded flawless, and marks the dawn of a new American century?"
It is something to think about - makes me think "Hmm, I generally just agree with whatever the media says is important."
that's all for now

Vision fulfilled
I had the following vision on April 20th, 2003. It was fulfilled last Friday evening at the Syracuse Vineyard during a celebration dinner - just as I had pictured it. so I share it with you now:
"I had a vision today. We were singing the song "Be Glorified" (A Chris Tomlin tune from Passion) at church and i saw a community of people, very large in number, singing that song. It was different than anything I'd experienced because this was a gathering of communities. There was this feeling that these people were SHARING their lives. And on this day they had come together to praise God. it's not that everyone knew everyone, but everyone was known. Everyone was pouring their hearts out to God. It was only a moment, but the vision was so real it brought tears to my eyes. And I felt the Spirit of God encouraging me to be a part of something like that...offering that vision as a light at the end of a tunnel...that corporate worship flowing out of the life of a true community is one of the most beautiful and moving things. Honestly, had the vision continued or had I personally experienced that I would have been brought to my knees sobbing. It truly moved me that much. and as I re-read what I just wrote, I realize that words can't really explain this vision...but I thought I would share it anyway."
God is so awesome. And if there was ever any doubt, he has a great sense of humor. Some of you will get why.
Side note: the dinner was catered by Dinosaur Bar-B-Que which I am convinced is the best thing since sliced bread, the light bulb, and notated music. It's really that good (see link on right).
