A Great Day

I had a pretty good day today.

Sunday,
Hallelluja!
It's not that far,
not that far away!

The message at new life church was really awsome! You can listen to it at http://www.newlifechurch.org/. there was one by a vissiting pastore several weeks ago that was really awsome, too. All on life with the holly spirit. It's the kind of message that inspires you to go beyond where you are. We also took comunion at church today. It is awsome to think about Christs blood covering us so that we can have comunion with Him. I grew up in the school of thought where I thought I had to be so good, nearly perfect to take comunion, and it very well is true that we should patch up offenses before, before going to church even isn't a bad idea. But comunion is all about not being perfect. Well, maybe not all about about, but is directly related to His death and resurecction... becaue we are not perfect.

Anyway, I also made a new aquantance today, which is always really neat.

And then we went to garden of the gods and hiked arround and explored, and shot some footage, and did some rock scrambling. We went up pretty high. It was very fun!

Of couorse, in every happy day, there is a cloud, and the clooud for this one was that not all the people I love were near, or together with eachother. And of course there is the longing to get everything right in my life. LOL.

But I was so encouraged.

I returned thte electric guitar I got from the pawn shop, but they wouold only give me in store credit, so I had to decide what I wanted. I chose an FX peddal for a guitar, a mic, and a mic stand. I like the FX peddal, and the mic stand, but havn't gotten to test the mic out yet. Not that I havn't played the guitar and pretended to sing into it ;)

Tomarrow I am supposed to start work on Fort Carsen. That will be interesting and involve new things I have never encountered in my job (gutter installation) yet. It should last us a week, so that will be nice, somewhat steady work.

I Fealt like writting some poetry tonight, so here it is, freehanded in, right at the moment.

Light The Fire
by Matt Meek

When my love fades
May Your Love, o Lord
Shine on through
and take the place
of all mine, weak frail
inperfect

And Light the fire
Let it burn
Fanned by love
not of this world

Yeah light the fire
shine in the night
and cut the dark
that shrouds my heart

I just tried to Love
To hard by myself
and made all Your things
my very own
But You can help
Your Spirit Empowers
and filled with Your love
I can go on.

So Light the fire
Let it burn
Fanned by love
not of this world

Yeah light the fire
shine in the night
And cut the dark
that shrouds my heart

I wanna love
like You love the church
and I wanna grow
Breaking free
to praise You more
May all I do
be sweat to You

Even love for her

So Light the fire
Let it burn
Fanned by love
not of this world

Yeah light the fire
shine in the night
and cut the dark
with Your Light

You all see, it is quite possible to write a love song for a girl to God. Ok, ok, I know, I'm crazy. BUt at least it is a good crazy.
