So for those of you who missed Tuesday night's study, here's what you missed:
1. American Idol. I'll get in to more details in a future "What I Watch," but in short, I was a fan of the Lambert last night. Everyone was lame in picking songs from the year they were born. I sat on iTunes and looked at the iTunes Essentials for each year, and there was so much goodness to be sung, (3 of the Top 8 born in 1985 and NO ONE sang "We Are the World"??? WHAT?!?!)* yet no one took advantage of it. I've been pulling for Danny Gokey the whole time, but he sang "Stand By Me." Sorry, guy, just because someone did a cover in 1980 doesn't mean you get to sing it. Anyway, Lambert sang some song I'd never heard of, but it was really good. The last note was way off, but overall, I was definitely loving it. The first song he's sung, including his audition, that I did not hate.
2. CrazyLove. We will begin going through Francis Chan's book CrazyLove for the next 3 months. You can buy your own copy, which is available wherever books are sold, or I can do a mass order. Let me know if you want a copy. Francis is the pastor of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, CA, and my Asian American hero. You really DO NOT want to miss being a part of this study.
3. Washington Capitals. I was watching the end of the game, no one else really was. If Stacie V. were there, she'd have gotten angry because she DVRs games and watches them all a day later. I don't get that, but whatever, she's been to more games than me this year and even shared the gospel with Center Nick Backstrom--so who am i?
4. Forgiveness. It was turning out to be a relatively light night spiritually, but towards the end, I made an off-hand comment about an event that occurred in the ministry about 4 years ago, and it touched off a very important revelation and a discussion about the necessity to forgive. It was a powerful time to pray for a friend and speak truth into their life. I was blown away by the power of the Holy Spirit to ordain the events of the evening to lead to that moment so naturally. I truly believe that healing will come from this. Even though I'm being intentionally vague, allow the Spirit to prompt you in joining in with this prayer for this situation.
So there you go. You gotta come to Home Group. Don't make me post anymore of these!
*That was a joke. "We Are the World" is good for the unintentional comedy of the video only. The greatest superstars in music of that day-Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Bono, Bob Dylan...and there's actor Dan Akroyd in the back row.
