Claiborneized

Yeah, that's my buddy Shane Claiborne. We chatted a bit tonight, he told me how much he admired my hair and all. I was blushing. OH WAIT... Okay, now I'm awake. Dreamin' for a bit there (what I wouldn't give to have hair over my shoulders again). Though Graham did get us confused briefly.

Actually, I did shake hands with Shane and chatted about 30 whole seconds after his talk tonight. If you read earlier you know that I went to Anderson U's chapel with Isaac this morning; had a nice chat over lunch with my favorite son; drove home, got Jane and Carrie, and drove back to AU for tonights talk. They were both good. Both pretty much straight from "The Irresistible Revolution." He was a very nice dude, and you could hardly make out any Tennessee accent. :)

Isaac, Graham, and Caleb (and Carrie Jade) talked with him more extensively about their upcoming plans to feed the homeless. I'm a little nervous about it, but sometimes ya gotta be.

Oh... and, no, I didn't take this picture. I stole it from Andrew Jones. But Shane was dressed in these exact same clothes. Looked just like this - minus the hanky on his head. That was going to be my question for him (but I was too chicken to ask it during the Q & A): do you wear the same outfit all the time, or do you have more than one outfit like this?? Just curious. :)

Btw... it was great to "attend" a worship service not only once, but TWICE today (instead of having to "lead" worship). Great job tonight by two guys on guitars. THAT'S what I want for my church - just in case you were wonderin' (it WOULD make a great birthday present next month).

I'm tired. Too much drivin' for this puppy. Ba'.
