Salt Lake City...
Here I am, Salt Lake City. I guess these are the days for expanding ones horizons or maybe I’m just finding that my comfort zone is too small, or maybe I’m just tired of being me (the old me) and I’m turning over new leaves, left and right.
This morning (afternoon to the East Coasters) upon my arrival out here in Salt Lake, I got caught up on some work stuff (e-mails, etc) and then I headed to downtown Salt Lake, I even ventured out to find the Trax (light rail here in Salt Lake, VERY civilized McB (in case you read this) I even saw a guy give up his seat for a woman). So I wandered around Salt Lake for a while checking out the various sights, main street, LDS Temple, Tabernacle (unfortunately undergoing MAJOR renovations), Utah Statehouse (from a two block distance, if I had remembered my camera I might have gotten closer), read some history of SLC and then hit my favorite little brewery in SLC! I was pretty full from a very late lunch (on Main St) so I only had a sampler and ¾ pint of Dunkel (yes, fruity-one I tossed ¼ pint! Don’t tell the dawg!) It rained like a son of a gun while I was in the brewery, that’s why I ordered the pint, then it stopped raining so I bolted to the train, while I had the chance. I may just have to go back tomorrow night, should I get a shirt or glasses or something???
The end of vacation was good, we did some more sight-seeing around D.C. (National Archives was WAY cool!) and, much to my GREAT joy, we went to the Air & Space Museum Annex at Dulles. What a fantastic time we had. A big thanks to the folks in D.C for making our time so enjoyable AND putting up with four crazies! How you livin???
Sunday, I woke up early and composed a message to deliver at church. It was strange for me, because originally I was going to entitle the message, “My Jesus” and talk about how and why I think the church has messed up Jesus and who he was. Instead the message turned out to be “The Jesus” and it was a challenge for people to get into history so as too see who Jesus was, in his time. This will help us better understand our jobs, I think, but I’m still working through these things myself. I realize that the title is only one word different, but it took six week of wrestling with God before I would acquiesce and do what he wanted me too. Thanks to all of you who prayed, encouraged and talked me through this one. It wasn’t easy (not that any of my messages have come easily, this one was a long labor).
I think that’s good for tonight. May you never lose your temper, when you get in a bar room fight.
BS
