Green Peanuts, Water Aerobics, Pics & Crusades

So we went searching for green boiled peanuts yesterday after me and mom went to water aerobics. That was fun; never done that before. But anyway, Wal-mart was out. We ended up finding some at Publix. I freaked out when we found them cause I been craving some real boiled fresh green peanuts. So that's what I've been eating for the last 2 days : )

We're headed off to the concert in the park in downtown Woodstock tonight. A band called Shanendoah is going to be there. I hear they're pretty big, but I've never heard of them. Sam says their a girl band. That should be interesting. But we're all taking the girls, and mom and dad will be there. So it should be fun.

This morning we had a breakfast meeting with a pastor out of Atlanta that's from Nigeria. He wants RPM to be his house band for monthly crusades he's hosting starting in September. He has already booked a 2000 seat auditorium in Atlanta until Dec. 2010, and has already signed a contract with several radio stations. I may be doing some advertising for him as well. So we're pretty excited about that. But before we left this morning, mom did a photo shoot with me, Shawn and Caitlyn. The pictures are so cute!! Below is one that she's already edited. She's still working on them right now, but they'll soon be on my facebook for everyone to see, yay! We really needed some new family pics, so she did a really great job, as always!!

Motley Crue Concert Experience

How do you know that you're behind and stale? You go to something that's comparable to what you do and you watch. Yesterday, Lauren got free tickets through her work for the Motley Crue concert at the BI-LO Center last night. Motley Crue makes no bones about it - they're a satanic worship group. And those of you reading this know we are worship leaders also; we're just on the other side. So I quickly jumped at the chance of going. Once there, I was really uncomfortable. Especially during their hit song, Shout at the Devil. Let me say, Motley Crue didn't come on till 9pm so for the 3 hours prior, the bands were decent. But what started out to be a heavy metal concert turned into a satanic worship environment in less than 3 seconds. From the pentagrams to the cross of Jesus turned upside down to the red and fire everywhere to the chants of the band and audience, this was a full fledge worship service. Sound was probably 140db and they probably spent between 3-5 million on their light show alone. They started the show out with a very vulgar and difiant slam on heaven. And the lead singer even showed off his latest sex toy as he had incorporated it into his attire for the night.

With all of this going on, I couldn't help but to think about the state of the church. In churches all across the nation, worship leaders are refused the chance to tap into their creativity because the light can't strobe for more than 15 seconds or the sound can't be over 80db or "you just can't wear that." I witnessed probably 15,000 people participate in this satanic worship service and no one cared that the lead singer had a sex toy tied around his waist. The sad part is you could feel the demonic activity increase with the start of every song because of the unity. The church of America is hung on that issue right there - unity. If we could ever get unity in the house of God, satanic worship would come to a standstill. Instead, we as a church forfeit our power for the temperature - or the loudness of - or even what the pastor wears, leaving the church useless and irrelevant.

You want to see true revival? I'm not talking about the ones churches do to pad their accounts so they can pay the bills. I'm talking about those encounters with God that leave us empowered to change the world around us. If this is you, I challenge you to focus your life and line it up with God. Don't be worried about this or that. Focus on the people that need your help, and one by one, we can change this world.

HECK YEAH!!! Free Concert...for me anyway!!!

So there's perks to my job : ) I got free tickets to a Motley Crue concert for tomorrow night. Heck yeah!! Never been a fan, but hey, they're free tickets. So we gonna go jam!! Well, Shawn will be a little late, but hopefully Chris and Nikki are gonna make it. I did say though, that if they start doing Satanic crap, I'm out the door...lol...

But I've really been wanting to go to a concert here lately, just to go do something different and act like a retard...yellin and screamin!! Pressure release I guess : ) I really wanna go see Rihanna in concert but I don't know if she does the whole half naked thing...just not into that...and I don't want my husband into that either...lol, but I love her music for some reason. That stinks about her and Chris Brown. I hope she sues the fool outta him...I wouldn't let no crazy person lay a hand on me.
