xavier

i heard xavier rudd was coming to edmonton. i was excited. i had heard some of his stuff and decided right aways even though i didn't know all the words to all of his songs this was a concert i had to see. but one that needed to be enjoy in a group. i bought 6 tickets-third row-awesome. now to find people. i think the group changed around 4 times. a wave of yeses and nos. somewhat stressful but it turned out wonderful. i sat there in our third row seats before we all rushed the stage looking beside me at the other five faces sitting beside me: charissa, sharon, steven, brice, and krista. i could not have asked for a better bunch. great show, great opener (joshua radin - check him out), GREAT concert, great people, great night.

favorite moment explaining to the six year old that 'boys are stinky' when she smelled the weed that was sparked in the winsper centre! getting high at her very first concert.

xavier rudd. wow.

time. space. slipping. life. sigh.

alone

loneliness is something that happens to us, but i think it is somethingwe can move ourselves out of. i think a person who is lonely should dig into a community, give himself to a community, humble himself before his friends, initiate community, teach people to care for each other, love each other. Jesus does not want us floating through space or sitting in front of our televisions. Jesus wants us interacting, eating together, laughing together, praying together. loneliness is something that came with the fall.
