maturity is just a bus driver...

Random thought from a Rob Bell podcast this last Sunday. It is awesome!

"Spiritual maturity is when you do the right thing with or without the accompanying feelings and thoughts.
Or some of you may prefer a metaphor...
Maturity is when your convictions and beliefs drive the bus and say to your thoughts and feelings “You sit there!” "

worship

Last quarter I wrote a final paper for my "Postmodern Theology, Film, and Youth Culture" class. We had to discuss one aspect from any of the categories, or combine them if we liked, and I had some specific ideas bouncing around in my head for a while and figured this would be a good chance to try to study and sort them out. So, I wrote about worship.

I didn't put it up for a long time (it's been almost 3 months now) because I didn't know how I felt about it. It's easily the most personal paper I've ever written. I was worried that I would get marked down for my honest and open style of writing, but I had to do it that way. This is stuff that is really on my heart. I want to learn this aspect of life more than anything else. So it's hard to share that, but I guess now or never. I also don't know about it theologically, which is another reason I'm afraid to put it up. But it's what I was thinking and wrestling with at the time, and I still am.

If you wanna read it, you can get it right here. It's about 7 pages, and hopefully you will find it interesting. Please leave comments with your thoughts, good or bad. I certainly don't think I have this figured out yet, but I tried to put a little bit of form to some vague ideas... Thanks.

Something you may not have been aware of...

I highly encourage any of you who have facebook accounts to join the group so that all can be made aware of this great discovery.

Thank you.
