Revival Was GREAT!!!!

Ok, I don't know if anyone of you will know what I'm talking about, but when I'm sitting in church, it is SO easy for me to get distracted. I'm like the ADHD poster boy!! Seriously, it's pitiful. But for some reason tonight when I went to church I was captivated. I had never heard Terry Rice (the pastor who was doing the revival) speak before. By the time I came to Level Grove he was no longer preaching there. But anyway, he was one of the best preachers that I have ever heard.

Every time my mind even got close to drifting, he would tell a funny story or something and grasp my attention right back. It was like he knew what was going on in my head. It was crazy. His message was awesome too. It was about how we as christians don't share about salvation enough. Which is completely true. We pass by people everyday and don't know where they will be going when they die, and on some level, if we don't share, then we are enabling them to die and go to hell.

It really opened my eyes, and reminded me why I was put here on earth, and that's to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

Ok, so I'm going to get off of my soap box now, but I thought that was really cool and that I should share that.

But we went to this church and it ended up being in Commerce, GA which is roughly about 30 minutes from where I live. It wasn't to terribly long of a trip, but it wasn't short either. We went and sang, and on the way out of the building when the service was over, people kept telling me what a great voice I had. Which I thought was strange because I didn't do a solo tonight, so I was like, "How on earth do they know what I sound like?" Ok, so this is embarrasing, but it turns out I'm a loud singer!! Nobody has ever really told me, but because of my range and the higher notes that I can hit, I'm the only one on those notes (which is fine, because they are good notes) it's just that since I am the only one on them, they can pick me out of the crowd.

So that is very embarrasing. I don't know if I'm going to start singing softer or not, but it was something for me to think over. haha. I think also, it was because I'm used to singing at my church which is a big church, and this was a much smaller church. I mean, you really didn't even need a microphone. It was out in the boondocks. haha.

OH.....speaking of "Boondocks"........does anyone know the group Little Big Town?? They do that song called "Boondocks" and they're a country group?? Ok, well anyway, it's kind of cool, because the blonde headed girl in the group is my friend's sister. My friend is also the brother of my pastor's wife. So they're all related, and she actually came to church a couple weeks back. I didn't know because I was in the Dominican Republic, but I thought that was cool.

What's that game that people play?? Like, Five Levels to Fame or whatever? I don't know, but I thought, hey, I could win!!! hahaha.

But anyway, I'm getting tired and I think I might be heading off to bed soon. So I'm going for now, but I'll write some more tomorrow. Bye Y'all!!!

Live for Him,
Stephen
