and I'm at home because of my stupid stomach. Well, I guess I'm the stupid one for eating so much last night. Boo. Anyway, I know a list has been requested, but I will have to get to that later. I was reading Megan's blog and saw her link to the Rick & Bubba website. There, I found links to Rick's message at his son's funeral. Wow. Paul and I have been somewhat done with Rick & Bubba - we listened to them every morning for a while, and got to a point where we really felt like they were just about themselves and their stories, and that although they were Christians, they were so closed minded that it was hard to listen.
However. After hearing his message, my mind has been changed. Do I still think they're somewhat closed minded? Sure. But do I know for a fact that the Holy Spirit is all over them (well, at least Rick)? YES. I know that God can and will use anyone to speak his Word, but this was horrifically special. To know that God can give strength to someone who just suffered a horrendous tragedy to speak so fervently about his faith is an awesome reminder of who God is. So even though I wasn't at church this morning, I had church here on my couch - I worry so much about this life, but when you are able to put things into perspective like that, all the crap I worry about is meaningless. Once again, it's God's gentle reminder that I'm not in control, and life would suck even more on this earth if I were.
