I Just Crapped My Pants

Sex God and March Madness

I'm sitting at Panera right now sipping an I.C. Mocha while reading and watching the March Madness scores update on my laptop. The scores always have to be ridiculously close in the tournament, so I'm sitting here looking like a complete freak as I cringe and dramatically react to the updating on my screen. Who cares though? I'm also reading an amazing book right now by Rob Bell called Sex God. Only a chapter into it, but so far it's really opening my heart and challenging me. I just read about bringing heaven to earth. At one point he says, "How you treat the creation reflects how you feel about the creator." I love that. What a beautiful challenge. I want to live more like that, treating people the way I want to be treated, and more importantly, the way God wants all of us to be treated. I want to bring what Jesus teaches to this earth and actually live it in a raw and genuine way.

Also, I can't say enough about Bloc Party's new album, A Weekend In The City. This stuff shakes me and leaves me hoping to wake up tomorrow as a drummer. Lately, I'm the guy in the car who is beating his dashboard like a drum set and looking like a complete dork. I don't care though. You would be too if you were listening. Pick up this album. Absolutely beautiful.

Can't Get Enough...
