Tommy Womack, Jay Leno, Mark Driscoll

Funny how getting a tuna sandwich from Subway can change your day. I'm tired of fretting about the business of church. So...

I'm waiting to see my friend Tommy Womack on the Jay Leno show tomorrow night (Wednesday 8/9). He'll be playing the telecaster, backing up Todd Snider.

I say Tommy is my friend, and mean that in the best sense. He is a preacher's kid, the same age as me, a fellow Jason & the Scorchers fan, but we've only actually conversed through email a few times, and I did spend one New Year's Eve at his house with a bunch of people called "souper's" one year. So while he is more an acquaintance than a friend, he IS one fine dude though. He writes, sings, and plays great music; he wrote an incredibly hilarious book "The Cheese Chronicles" about his days with the band Government Cheese. And he has a funny as heck pic of himself on his website. Other than that, I hardly know him. But I am looking forward to seeing him on Leno. Very cool news.

While waiting, I also stumbled onto this piece: Why Mark Driscoll Bothers You (or not) written by Michael Spencer (via smartchristian.com). I have both ripped Driscoll, and loved him. And the article was pretty convicting.

So, there you have it. Man, now I'm full. I should have just gotten the 6", but it was only .20 more for a foot. Blurp.

NO pal, my blog isn't up yet. At this point, I'm still not sure blogging is for me. One day out of eight I WANT to blog, the other seven I don't. I like reading them. I even missed yours while you were on vacation. I try and catch it everyday. Something on your main page always catches my eye. "A personal web log in a public world" .....hmm. I guess I still feel afriad about it being a public log in a private world. The private world of my thoughts, feelings, and ideas. Should they be "public". Is this making any sense?
ANYWAY...glad your back and safe.
