The Challenger is the big one for me. Growing up in Florida, we used to go outside the front yard, and you can see them launch from our house, even 150+ miles south... I was in 2nd grade, and the 3rd grade class got to watch it live. I think I must have gone to the bathroom, and a girl came running down the hall yelling, "The Challenger exploded!!"

My mom was at home, watching it on TV, she took a picture of the TV screen, of the vapor trails going in not the right directions.

My grandparents were flying home to Michigan from our house in S Florida, so they were literally in the air, with the shuttle when it happened. The story is that they could see it out the plane window and I think there was a minister/priest/rabbi/man of the cloth on the plane, and he led the plane in prayer b/c they were kinda uncertain as to what exactly happened.

So my church is boring, name of where I live, etc.. But I work in churches, and get to visit LOTS! My recent favorite was a church that apparently just went through a name change... It's now called Living Hope Baptist Church, but it was located on LITTLE HOPE road... so finally I asked, and lo and behold, yes, at one point, it had been a church that was called Little Hope.... sounds encouraging, huh?

The town I went to college in, Lakeland, Florida, had two of the most awesome names of churches...

*MIracle Deliverance Church #2
(don't quite know where that one falls in naming, but we always felt the #2 part was significant, especially since we never saw #1)

and, a forever favorite,

*First Baptist Church at the Mall (definitely a GPS name)

Add me to the list of "What? Joel McHale, at Christian Conference?!?!" I never knew! Apparently there's lots of us who missed out on that one!

It's funny, actually, this sort of thing happened to me the other day. I was with my aunt and cousin, and we had mentioned the Double Rainbow guy, and my aunt hadn't seen it, so we explained it to her (didn't have the video on hand b/c we were out) and explained that it had already become viral, and became made into a song, so it's been out a while, as well as the guy who's sister got attacked ("Run and tell that, homeboy") and IT was made into a song, too... and then not 3 hours later, we were sitting, painting pottery, and these two teenage girls were yakkin' up a storm, and one mentioned the Double Rainbow, and the other was clueless, and to the first one, it's like it just happened YESTERDAY!!

We laughed, to ourselves, for quite a long time.. See, we could do that, tho, b/c we didn't know them! lol

reread the tweet before sending, you never know what "help" your fancy schmancy auto spell check has given you!

Sometimes I don't get to follow in close to real time, so going back over the day, there's nothing more frustrating than seeing someone who's tweeted something like, "Oh, forget that last tweet, I meant blah blah blah" and then a slew more of replies that are like, "Oh, yeah, @closebuddyjim I can't believe I did that!!! yeah, that was SO embarassing, forgive me ya'll" And then I can't figure it out b/c they've deleted the embarassing one.. I wanna know!

Either check so it doesn't happen, leave it and be embarassed, or delete and pretend like it never happened!!

I'm just sayin'.

I mostly follow, but, i'm @staciatague

How awesome for you!! I'm sure you and the family will love it here!

As a welcome present, here's someplace you need to discover if you haven't already.... Sweet CeCe's.. It's right on the corner in downtown Franklin.. It's across from the Starbucks, and if that's the one you've been at, you may know about it already. It's the most awesome frozen yogurt EVER!!

But congratulations on the new job, I can't wait to see what God's got in store for you next!!!!

dcTalk DID write Jesus Freak.

The new Newsboys album has a cover of it, with KJ-52... but the original is most definitely dcTalk!!

Is there some sort of contract being negotiated with Christian radio stations that says that now that you've got custody of Tait, they are required to play TobyMac immediately before or after playing Born Again? Cause, I swear, every station I'm hearing is doing that and it's kinda weird!!

Real question tho, What was behind the decision to record Jesus Freak with KJ-52? Isn't that kinda risky? It's so iconic to dcTalk and CCM in general, why take 1/3 of the original, add some other stuff and try again?

Jon, you know God works through you, right? Cause today's just proof of that even more.

Today marks one year since I was basically kicked out of my dream job.

I miss it, i miss it terribly.... today's been a day of reflection, seeing where the last year has gone, wondering what I'm supposed to be doing with my life, b/c I've since taken a job solely to keep afloat, and I don't have a clue what I even think I want to do.

You know how they say to do what you love, or find a job that you love, instead of one just to make ends meet? I don't even know where to start looking for that job, I feel really just sort of clueless.

I'm also not seeking God the way I should be. My quiet time is non-existent. I don't have a place to fellowship with other believers or find accountability. This is partially due to my job b/c it's a traveling position.

i feel lost b/c I'm afraid of seeking God's will for me b/c it scares me. I feel like a blank canvas afraid of the artist and what he'll paint on me.
