easter: random rants & thoughts

This year was a first of many for me..

my first christmas, and my first easter away from my family. I missed my family a TON yesterday (and more and more every day) but especially yesterday. Although i was terribly homesick, Easter took on a whole new light for me this year, and possibly was the best Easter of my entire life. It ROCKED.

The truth never changed, the story is the same, but i received it with open eyes and a willing heart.

Here’s my thought process:

Marietta Vineyard was intense this morning..and during worship some people of the church did cardboard testimonies.. if you’ve never seen those here’s a video from another church:

stinkin cool huh?

Midtown was amazing as always. We had baptisms at Buddy’s house after church, in the hot tub in his back yard. I’ve never witnessed baptisms like that ever before. Tons of people got baptized.. shared their stories with us, and everyone just crowded around and encouraged each other. It was ridiculous. And the coolest part was you could see the Atlanta skyline RIGHT behind this hot tub.. people dying & raising again with christ and ready to change this city. ROCK ON!
