Reading, Bowling, board games, worship, reading and a movie!

Well, that sums up my weekend!

If you haven't seen the movie "Once" do go see it. It's an Indy film that has an amazing soundtrack. I will warn you that it is technically a "musical" but it's not the sing and dance type of musicals I am known to enjoy. If you get a chance, do see it! It was beautifully done.

Went to Mosaic today (for those of you not familiar with Mosaic, it is the church Erwin McMannus teaches at and they have like 5 different campuses including one in Berkley now). It was a great experience, so different from what I'm use to but I really enjoyed it. They had a DJ spinning worship with another guy leading on keyboards and it was quite a fun experience. There announcements are pretty much all done by video which are funny and short and what I thought was fun was the offering baskets were paint cans. The teaching was great, they had a young lady who's involved in ministry there speak about caring for people. Planning on going back again but it was refreshing to see what they were doing there and in the community as well.

Quotes

"To discover the forgotten poor is more that the work of "social action", as some would call it. It is rather to put our Bibles back togeather again. Indeed, it is nothing less than to restore the integrity of the Word of God--in our lives, our congregations, our communities and our world." -- Jim Wallis; God's Politics

"He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God."
--Micah 6:8

"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."
-- Martin Luther

"Our political leaders, after all, are just that--political. No mater what their faith, or lack thereof, they are just plain old people doing a plain old job. They can't save America. It isn't in their job description. They can make changes at the margins by helping a bit here and there. But, ultimately, the work of America is our work. And my ultimate hope is back where it should be--not with fishing, not with politics, but with God."
--David Kuo; Tempting Faith
