New Direction

I don't even know how to start this one guys. First of all, it has just become very clear to me that these blogs are going to be about something totally different then i thought. I just need to go back and explain where everything thats flying around in my head is coming from.
Got home from shopping earlier and started watching the Sugar Bowl, then the internet started working again so i ran and got my computer so i could watch the Passion session from this morning. Tomlin and Christy and Kristian and their fantastic back up band are playing and its amazing. Then Louie comes out because he's speaking at this last session. The general theme of his talk was about going out and spreading your passion wherever. Literally wherever you think you need to go. Who cares where, if thats where your lead, go. Then he says something that just like throws me for like, the biggest loop ever. "We are the ones who have to carry his name. And i know you know how to carry a name, because when you guys leave here, you'll be telling your friends about the great music you heard from Tomlin and Crowder. You wont be talking about how great Jesus is because he just IS!" of course he said with a lot more eloquence then i ever could, but the point of it all...WE ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE TO CARRY His NAME!!! Do you understand what that means?! If we don't, it doesn't happen, end of story! Another thing that threw me. "Carrying God's name with a capital G is great too, but if your sharing with a Muslim and you say ""Isn't God great?" they're going to say yes, but if you say "Yeah, Jesus, hes just great isnt he!""     silence.    Do you see the difference? Its so hard for me to put it into words like he did, but carrying the name of God isn't the same as carrying the name of Jesus. 


So, the new direction of these blogs. It was originally supposed to be about me sharing personal things about me, but honestly, the only personal thing about me that you need to know about me that truly matters is that I love Jesus, and this is going to be the tool i use to carry His name. 


I don't know if this is legal or not, but i'm going to end this with some lyrics from one of Chris Tomlin's songs from Passion2011.


"Open the heavens, come Living Water, all my fountains are in You"
