Recently Pastor Ed Young was on the Steven Colbert show. He has gotten alot of media attention because he challenged his church to have sex for 7 straight days in a row. The interview is pretty funny. He is now and forever will be the "Sex Pastor" to me.
So after all the bitterness of not being selected for the BCS Championship game, I watched tonight's game and was excited but kind of still let down. That is the attitude I had as the game started. Once we got into it, I was thinking to myself, man Texas is playing like they are let down as much as I am. They seemed to not be even trying to win.
Well, I must say after the half - all of that silly stuff was put to bed. This was a game for the ages. Colt McCoy totally rocked with one of the most impressive gun slinging performances I have seen, and the score was only 24 to 21. You would think with over 400 yards in the air there would be more points, but it just didn't work out that way.
Well, I was jumping around the living room like a kid in a bounce house after watching the following play. The quality is not so good, but you get the point.
A friend of mine posted this to his Blog site and I found it so riveting. I want stuff like this to happen for me. I can tell regardless that Penn, from Penn and Teller is atheist, I can see that God is putting people like you and me in his path to profoundly change his thinking towards Christianity. Who knows, with God, ALL THINGS are possible. (or is that taken out of context here?)
How am I to Live?
I have been pondering this year and what I am hoping God will do in me this year. I literally was just aimlessly searching through Christian music on Itunes, which I don't do because I have been avoiding Christian music like the plague. Sounds worse than it is, I just don't want to be an island unto my own little bubble.
Anyways, I found this song by Brandon Heath that the chorus is just powerful. Give Me Your Eyes is the name of the song. I am linking the one that has the words included in the video. It is GREAT stuff to think about looking at the world through God's eyes. I have been so self-absorbed in my own little bubble for so long the very thing I was trying to avoid, ironically, I did anyways. I have completely missed the boat on what really matters. That is my relationship with God and loving my neighbor as myself. Harder to do than say.
I am praying for new direction this year. I think this song sums up a direction that I have recklessly abandoned. Enjoy!
