1. A change was in the air this morning at Life Pointe Church, and it had to do with the music. Starting in the main lobby – we listened to all-new Christian music (rock, pop, and hip hop) courtesy of my own personal iPod Shuffle. It blared loudly all throughout the main lobby, and it received rave reviews – particularly from the youth of our family. During ‘Praise & Worship’ Jesse took a back seat to play guitar while Michael B. made his lead-singing debut. He did an awesome job leading the band and leading our family as we displayed our intense adoration of Jesus !
2. Pastor Jesse led this morning’s service, and he’s got the FUNK ! He spoke on the funk in poverty. We act upon what is in our hearts, and our Lives are a direct result of the condition of our hearts. Poverty is fueled by our human mind. Jesus challenges the quality of our Life by what drives our heart, what fuels our mind, and what moves our soul. We live in freedom, but our minds are in poverty. Our goal is to be fully alive and aware that we are totally blessed through it all. The fate of the world and the people around us depends on the outcome of our funk, and that funk doesn’t define us. It actually refines us.
3. Youth Pastor Alex has got the FUNK – and it’s in his HAIR ! After 4 days and 3 nights away at Youth Camp with a bunch of our teens he came back with his hair dyed a weird shade of ‘sort-of tannish-orange’. I reminded Alex that he’s still Mexican, and that he needs to quickly go back to the natural black hair. A few of the kids came back from Youth Camp with what appeared to be perms. I promise that if we ever have an adult retreat for a few days then I won’t come back as a total blonde a la my good friend Kristina M. ! 😯
