Fantastic Day

Yesterday was a great day, a FANTASTIC day at that. Was it because I woke up late and missed class? Nope, I was somewhat disappointed about that (plus I lost a bet with Brad, darn, I owe him lunch). It was for a lot of reason which I will share with you.

First off, had lunch with John Rolf. Paul, Angela, and myself met him around noon and we went to Casa Tomas. It all came about by him being at Crosspoint on Sunday. See, we played, and I sat down for the message. Larry got a bit jittery and talkative, so I was going to walk outside, let him do his business, and go back in. I walk out in to the foyer and Mike gets my attention and says, "I want you to meet this guy I am going to recommend for worship leader. His name is James." At this point I am looking at the guy and my eyes aren't connecting, but it looks like John. I shake his hand and he sort of laughs, and I knew then it was him.

He told us a lot about the church. It's very amazing, very big, very different. He had a DVD and he showed us some of the music and it was freakin awesome! They did that Tomlin song "On Our Side" and it just sounded superb. We talked about some of the little issues we are having at the church and music stuff he was interested in. He also gave me a CD that the church produced with about three worship leaders doing there original music. DANG! This CD is very good. The production quality is fantastic, songwriting is very good, and the band did a phenominal job. I am supposed to meet with him again Thursday and run some drum loop stuff.

So I come home and realy it seems to be a lazy day. I watched Roseanne and ate some goldfish, actually it was Seinfeld and baked Lays. And around 6 I decided I was going to do something productive....and I didn't. Something grabbed my attention....my PDA. I sat down and I started reading my Bible, and I just couldn't put the thing down. I kept reading and asking myself questions. That truly the first time that's happened, but it was AWESOME! (More later)

So around 8:30p I start on finishing a review for a test for Angela and I. I finish all 25 questions in about 2 hours. They took some time, but it was cool. That's the first time I feel that I have sat down and willingly finished something like that.

Angela gets home and we talked about the Bible stuff. I went online and found out that the NIV bibles cost money for the PDA. I have a little bit but not enough to get that and make it until next week....Angela bought me one of them! It was a bundle, like, it had a few dictionaries, atlas', and the Message Bible (which was interesting to look at). I was very thankful she did that because I was reading the Modern KJV (which isn't bad). I read a little more and went to sleep.

It truly was a fantastic day because I think God is showing me that I just need to keep going the way I am in school. Not to change my major, not to give up. And that He has provided me the means to be in HIs word and that I need to take advantage of that.
