I consider myself to be a semi creative person but this makes me feel like maybe I am not as smart as I think I am. [You will need to enlarge this to get the full effect.]
For the last 10 years I have ignored the fact that I am getting older. I am the most experienced 27 year old on the planet. I would joke that I am only having anniversaries of my last birthday. But today I have decided that it's time to face the truth, I am getting older, and that time keeps on slipping into the future. Whether I celebrate it or not my time here on Earth is getting shorter. And there is nothing I can do to stop it. But I can say this, the last 365 days have been the best of my life, only second to the next 365 days. Time is too short to pretend, to play "life", to not be who you really are. I know who I am and I am who I was created to be, I won't apologize for it, take it up with God if you don't like me. I've stopped running from who I am, and I will live out the rest of my life making full use of the gifts and talents that I have been given. To do any less is just spitting in the face of my creator.
I am always watching videos. Always watching what some of the best and the brightest are doing, so that I can learn something or just steal some great ideas that they stole from someone else.
At first I was drawn to this video for it's artistic quality. But then the message in it was so incredible. I love the attitude of always wanting empty seats. Our past history has taught us that we are only successful if the seats are always full. But if they are full then where are the ones you are trying to reach going to sit??? But for Pete Wilson and the Cross Point team it wasn't enough just to have empty seats. They realized that there are some people that will never sit in the seat you have open for them. I am very excited about this movement in God's Church today. It's time to GO where they are, to show them Love, and show them Hope, and to bring that empty seat with you.
