Just another day in New Orleans

Well, I'd like to come to you today via video blog, but I was unable to record anything last night, due to my roommate being here on the phone all night. But that's cool, I actually want to talk about a couple of things that, with the thin-ness of these walls, are better left typed.

I spoke at the FCA breakfast yesterday, and though I only had a few minutes (closely guarded by Coach Weis and a watch), I was able to speak a short message about an eternal perspective on life, much like my post two days ago. As well as the breakfast went, and as cool as the immediate response was, I'd like to take a moment to address the response I've had since then, for it's a matter for which continual prayer is needed.

I've always been "that guy." I've been the guy that people write off because I don't partake in a lot of the activities that my friends do. Now, don't get me wrong, I probably have at one point or another, but I choose not to do them now. A lot of people take everything I say with a grain of salt and I feel the impact of my words is very limited.

But today is a new day. I have several members of my team that I see as tough sells when it comes to my faith...A few atheists, members of other religions, and even some Christians that don't hold my same values. But in the short time I've been awake today, these tough sells have come and responded in ways I could have never before predicted. Now, thousands haven't accepted Christ in the past day, but people truly heard what God had to say yesterday morning, and young men I see every day are asking questions.

I'm really excited about what's going on, now. I'm pumped. I hope you'll join me in praying that, during this time of the new year, people set aside their New Year's Resolution and get to make a New Year's REVOLUTION, with Christ changing everything about them. And lets not forget our own revolutions as believers. We need to be changing every day to be more like the One who made us!!

Get fired up!
