You're Beautiful

While I'm still not that keen on the Dallas campus, that's my home. The community here is sweet and so much more important than my preference of style. (ok, not that it's THAT much different from the HV campus, but there are several small things that I miss)
 I'm one of those people who just loves the worship time. Matt seems to think that most guys don't dig the singing, but honestly that's probably my favorite part.
    I love corporate worship so much. I love hearing all the voices so loudly and passionately singing to Jesus. I love that all pretenses and worries and concerns about our life here are thrown away and our hearts' focus is cast on Jesus. It becomes all about Him, as it should be. I love those moments in my own life where nothing matters but Jesus, but I love it even more when we're all gathering one echoing the same sentiment. Blows me up.
   
 We've been singing this Phil Wickham song lately that I just absolutely love. It's a gorgeous song. Almost haunting. But my eyeballs go all wonky when we all sing together:

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing... You’re Beautiful

Oh that just kills me! I love being united in Christ and singing to Him about His glory. I love that sweet thought of eternity. 

In other news, Mercy Me recorded Bleeker's song "Glorious Day" and apparently it's getting a lot of airtime on the radio. I haven't heard their version yet because you couldn't pay me to listen to KLTY, but his version is one of my favorite songs ever. Oh mercy I love that song! I mean, I loooooove that song! I'm happy for him! Glad that little gem is on the airwaves.

ok i'm done being gay. bye bye.
