Yesterday was a great day at Journey.  Justin McGhin, who is a missionary in Romania was in town and spoke yesterday.  What an amazing message.  It totally lined up with everything that Francis Chan is talking about in Crazy Love, so it totally lined up with where I am in life right now.  Justin spoke of leaving everything and the foolishness of possessions.  That is so where I am.  Heather and I almost bought a new car last Saturday!  We were in the lot and picked out the one we wanted.  We justified it.  Our van has alot of miles.  We have a new baby on the way.  Then when the salesman told us what the payoff on the van was I had to stop.  It could be paid off in a year and we would owe nothing.  All I could see was Francis Chan in the house he lives in and the old car he drives...knowing that he could afford any house and any car he wanted.  But, he has priorities.  And they do not include living the american dream.  so...we walked away.  And made a commitment.  To be totally debt free in 2 years and give away 50% of our income! To people like Justin that are out living on the edge for Jesus and the Gospel.

So the set list from yesterday;

Song of Hope
Let Me Sing
Here is Our King
All Over the World

it went great.  All over the world went perfectly with the message Justin gave..."Every nation tribe and tongue join as one and give glory to God."  

Still busy getting everything ready for the Crazy Love small group starting Sunday.  And oh yeah, Journey starts it's new schedule Sunday....Worship at 10.  small groups at 11:15.
