man - what a great day. church went well - week 2 in the bag - even helped lead the 1st service! whoo hoo - watchout now. we had the privilege of having richard devylder, the deputy director of the california department of rehabilitation, as our guest this morning. what an amazing man and an amazing story. check out the video my dogg dan did for this morning:
after a lunch with some folks from arcade it was back home to plan songs for flood. i helped lead tonight because ry was speaking. he did a great job (you need to teach more often bro!) communicating and it was fun to play there. both sets today i did the ben lee tune ‘we’re all in this together’. loving that song right now…
after i got back amanda had an excellent dinner prepared and we grubbed down!! YUM!! then we proceeded down J st and hung a right on 10th to hang at temple for a post dinner sweet treat. now its back to 800 J to chill out and relax.
good night world.

yep, she made the switch! another wordpress convert.make sure you change your rss readers and continue to follow amanda’s story here: tomorrow a NEW point of view…
so i must say that being in sacramento for me has redeemed my thoughts on the hope of ‘the church’ and i really feel a huge sense of calling and renewed passion for who i am and what God has called me to be. these past few days in the office and around arcade have been amazing. it is new, fresh feeling at the same time filled with feelings of home, love and comfort. amanda asked me how my day was today and i told her that i felt like i am back to ‘normal’. and maybe it is just the newness of it all - but i sense and deeper sense of peace and wholeness - of amanda and i being put back together. as soon as i said i feel normal again she said ‘me too!’ it is hard to describe right now and i dont know if this is making sense at all…i guess all that to say we are so thankful for where God has us right now and we look forward to moving ahead! one of our biggest prayers was that we would experience healing while we are here and i must say God is doing that…and i breathe him in and out tonight…
