Got the new Guster CD.... I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm reserving judgement until I listen through it a few more times. But I miss bongos and difficult-to-interpret lyrics about girls, high school, and hummingbirds. Still, I have to give these guys credit for staying strong more than a decade after they started. From Notre Dame in '99 when I first saw them, to Michigan State in '05, to today... they are my soundtrack of life.
June 24th, 2006 in Kalamazoo, MI. I'm starting this blog to help myself wrestle with thoughts on life, work, God, the church, and the future. I see it as a personal journal that I left open on a coffee shop table for all the world to see. Whether it goes anywhere beyond myself, I don't know.
All I know is, my life is nowhere near where I'd like it to be and yet, I have this strange hope deep inside that something great is coming. These thoughts started stirring within during the Crowder concert last weekend and they just keep building. It's funny how powerful hope can be.
So here goes, I'm plunging into life and this blog will (I hope) record part of the journey. So many potential amazing things may be ahead. Lean transformation at work, the search for fellowship in this city, learning to live out the Gospel day by day, and looking for where God is leading me next. Where will I be on June 24th, 2007?
