Saturday!

There's an old 90's song by Marcy Playground called "Saturday". Typing the title of this post reminded me of that. Good stuff. I wonder if they're still around. Anywho...

I had a very good night last night going around door-to-door in the Manawa area. There's so much excitement around the neighborhood about this project. It's fantastic. I can't wait to get the doors open and get some serious ministry going.

Not too much going on today. I'm working through a Bible study I found online that takes you through the gospel of Mark on very simple terms. I really like it. There's several others by the same team that are quite similar - one goes through Acts, one talks about conversion of sin, and three or four others focus pretty seriously on the life and times of Jesus. I'm really considering printing all of them off and turning it into a year-long discussion about the Bible down at the campus. Maybe a once-a-week thing where we meet for an hour and work through a chunk of this massive study at a time.

Today's homework is to check out Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture" on YouTube. You can find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo . The video is over an hour long, but at least watch the first few minutes and give it some thought. Really deep stuff put quite simply. I dig it.

Today's tracklist is the live album "Lamentations" by the Swedish death metal band Opeth. It's a fantastic collection of some of their greatest works. These guys write huge, sweeping epics of songs that range from acoustic guitars and beautiful vocals to thrashing drums and deep, guttural screams. I've been listening through it this morning. There's something quite spiritual about metal - I'll write more about my thoughts on the theology of metal later.

All for now.
