I keep reading in the gospels that Jesus “went up the mountain to pray”. I know that we can (and should) pray throughout our day to day lives…but there are special places that just seem to “click” for us. For Jesus it was the mountains… Do you have a “inspirational place”? A place that just naturally leads to a conversation with God? A place where the “muddled” becomes clearer..and the tension just kind of fades away?
My “inspirational place” is being behind the wheel of my old truck. Maybe it’s the oil fumes…maybe it’s the fact that I am hurtling along the interstate in a rusty old box that is only 3 inches off the ground…maybe I feel “closer to God” because every moment on the Capitol Beltway in my old truck is a “near death experience”…I’m not sure. I just know that my “mountain” was made in Germany in 1965…where’s yours?

Last week I was looking for photos online for the promo for our new “Wrecked” series. Michele laughed at me because, as she pointed out, “we have a barn full of wrecks…why are you looking for a picture online?”. I took her advise and used a photo of “Otis” my wrecked 68 VW panel van for the promo picture. (…yes we name all of our cars)
Maybe you don’t have a barn full of wrecked VW’s like I do- but I bet you have a “barn full” of wrecked dreams, relationships, and plans somewhere… We all do. Even though we may feel like everyone else is “normal” and we are “messed up” the truth is we are all in some way “wrecked”. The good news is that the Bible is filled with flawed, “messed up”, wrecked people that God chose to work through in amazing ways! Over the next four weeks we are going to “expose” the stories of an extremely dysfunctional family, a convicted murderer, a prostitute, and a disgraced leader… Starts Sunday

Merry Christmas everyone! I’m checking out until after Christmas to enjoy some time with the family. I hope everyone has a chance to do the same.
