When I decided to attend seminary I didn't really have any idea what I wanted to do after that. It wasn't long though before I felt a passion for church planting. If you had asked me to describe what it would "look" like, C2G in Fort Wayne pretty well sums it up. This is a pic from there tonight (before the lights were dimmed).
Speaking strictly from a building and aeschetics and "feel" standpoint... yep, this is it. It's hard to describe, and the photo doesn't do it justice really. But it's a big warehouse with a black ceiling, black curtains draping everything, nice lighting, good music, and a smoke machine. They have bands on Monday night and Saturday night; and worship on Sunday morning and Sunday night. Of course I know this isn't what Christianity is all about... but this was the picture I had in my head.
Anyway... we heard a GREAT band tonight - Full Circle. I can't find any info on them, but they are local, and I would guess all the guys in the band are music teachers somewhere, because they are talented and professional. And the female singer... let me just say: awesome. Her voice is similar to Ashley Cleveland, but... I think she is better. Jennifer Springer or something like that. Remember that name. She is fantastic. Such incredible control of her voice, and the way she moves... everything.
A GOD-MOMENT
They played a lot of oldies, everything from Santana to Guns-n-Roses, as well as some worship songs. And when they did "Breathe"... it was like everything stopped moving and time stood still. Megan, our friends little girl went up and leaned on the stage; two ladies beside us were in like a yoga position; there was this light shining from behind the singer... I don't know, I can't describe it. But it was a beautiful moment. One of those that doesn't come along very often. An all around good night with some good friends and good music.
AND A GOOD DAY
A good way to end this fine day. This morning we had a work day at church and we got a bunch of little odd jobs done. Put the grill in by the pavilion, put the attic door on, and an attic light, took out the tree & stump out front, and I don't know what all else. Then... I got to hear Sundays Off practice for a bit (also known as The Jefferson Hunt). And I think I even heard some of their original stuff from back in the day. That was a treat. They were practicing for their upcoming Ossian Days gig.
Well, I am tired. Thanks for this day, Lord. You are so good. I love you.
Peace. Revolution.
