Ihop... not the pancakes...

It was kind of spurr of the moment but it was a first time for Alison and I going to the International House of Prayer in Jacksonville. I just thought about the weirdest things the whole entire time. I liked it... I get some sort of high off my imagination.

-First of all I found hiliraity in that for the longest time a Kenny Rogers look-a-like was singing praise to God. I mean Kenny Rogers and his look-a-like can praise God but man it was all I was focused on for the longest time.
-I wrote down.. "Do I need to be more serious? Why do things appear to be serious all the time?" and then I opened up my bible to read a header that said...'It Pays to Take Life Seriously.' Humor much God?
-I was sitting next to someone who I thought was highlighting every single line in the Bible... but I mean the whole Bible is the living breathing word of God so shouldn't we highlight all of it?
-Then I actually wrote something more worth reading..
The Kenny Rogers look-a-like is singing, "Take the coal off the Altar God and touch my lips and purify my heart." I take almost everything literal. If I were to take this literally you'd have a severe burn wound on an area of your body where there are a lot of nerve endings. I'd forever have a speech impediment. I'd have to go out and make disciples of all nations with my hands. I don't have the patience to learn sign language, so I'd have to literally express the greates love with my actions because I couldn't express it any other way. (Then today I read Matthew 8:4 out of The Message and it says, 'Your cleansed and grateful life, not your words, will bear witness to what I have done.')
-There was another guy who went with us and I was sitting on the floor and he was sitting on a chair in front of me. He placed his bible and communion cup underneath his chair. His communion was on top of his bible and I was just watching him the whole entire time and thinking of how he's going to spill it when he reaches under there. So what happens when he reaches for his bible? He spills it and I thought about it.... What happens when we spill the blood of Jesus? I mean that stuff stains. Should we leave it or in consideration to uniform should we soak it up? I mean if we soak it all up it seems selfish, we should leave it for others to soak up as well. But we can't have Jesus stained carpets everywhere....

It wasn't all seriousness... in between these thoughts I also wrote down..
-Can anyone stand still with their eyes closed?
-Is wearing underwear always necessary?
-I feel like sometimes I might be being brain washed.
-I like to look at people's wrinkles.
-I want his shoes.. no not his.. his...
-I like to sit on floors more than I like to sit on furniture.
-Watching people is one of my favorites.
