Just when I thought the gathering couldn't be anymore amazing and beautiful, it was. To see Jesus in everyone and everything is simply wonderful.

simpleness?
This was inspired by the phrase "keep it simple" that Chad mentioned in his last blog...
When we left middle school, to go to high school, do you remember thinking back about how simple middle school was? But when we were in middle school, we were terrified of high school because we couldn't imagine anything much harder. Then when we graduated high school the same thing takes place; we look back and realize how simple it was. We thought it was such a big deal when we were there, in the midst of it, but once we were passed it, it was really, almost nothing. I haven't graduated college yet, but I can see a trend here.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm kinda reaching a point in my life, where I'm beyond this life, so to speak. I know that sounds weird but I guess I have just realized how simple this life of ours was meant to be, and I can really see the bigger picture. God's creation was meant to be simple. When it was conflicted with sin God sent his Son to make it simple once again. A verse that has influenced this thought is Colossians 1:16. It says that everything was created by God, and for God
This passage is clear, to the point and simple
...and awesome

The Edge
Once upon a time a young lad was born without a belly button. In its place was a golden screw. All the doctors told his mother that there was nothing they could do. He would have to live with it.
The years passed, and they were hard for the boy, as everyone who saw the screw made fun of him. Then one day, when he was fully grown, a mysterious stranger saw his belly and told him of a swami in Tibet who could get rid of the screw for him. The man was thrilled. They next day he took his life savings and bought a ticket to Tibet.
After several days of climbing up steep cliffs, he came upon a huge monastery. The swami knew exactly why he had come. He told the man to sleep in the highest tower of the monastery and the following day when he awoke, the screw would have been removed.
That night the man went to the room and fell asleep. While he slept, a purple fog floated in through an open window bearing in its mist a golden screwdriver. In just moments, the screwdriver removed the screw and disappeared out of the window.
The next morning when he woke, the man saw the golden screw laing on the pillow next to him. Reaching down, he felt his navel. The screw was gone! Jubilant, he leaped out of bed and his butt fell off.
