I've moved into the ranks of being a "Semi-Professional Christian."
I not getting paid but I'm doing the work.
Actually Sarah's doing most of the work and will likely achieve the title of "Preacher's Wife" ... which is a lot like being taken for granted the rest of your life ... which is what Church's do to Preacher's Wives.
Nevertheless, we're pretty excited about it.
It's not the traditional "GOD IN A BOX" stuff that mostly happens.
It's God in a Bar.
The first miracle Jesus performed was turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana ... which just goes to prove the more wine there is at a wedding the better the ceremony.
Bar Church started 5 years ago and Sarah and I were both drawn in during the early days and we brought other friends too.
Like Churches everywhere, it's gone through it's ups and downs but it has constantly let people know there's a place where they can be accepted as they are.
Dressing up is discouraged.
Flip-flops, smokers, hungry and hung over people ... the widow, the orphan, the Sojourner ... are all welcome.
Sometimes its a Zoo without cages.
But every single time, there's something special and Holy that happens.
So we're investing what we got in special and Holy.
We got a feeling ... a feeling deep inside ... all Hell's getting ready to break loose!
