Why I love Blogs

Last Canadian Thanksgiving this was a REAL conversation around the REAL water cooler at work:

MC: I'm going to Atlanta for the weekend.
Me: Have you ever heard of Buckhead Church?
MC: Yea it's not too far from where I'm staying!

Keep in mind WE WERE IN ONTARIO CANADA. I was amazed!

I told MC about this blog I've been reading of this worship pastor who moved from California to Atlanta. I had clicked on it from a blog because the word "ragamuffin" caught my eye. It was a word we occasionally used. And I was hooked. From the adoption videos in Korea to the worship confessional (I sang at church for years) to the "fat ragamuffin" inspiration (let's just say "I qualify"). I kid that I watch Ragamuffin TV.

MC said she would go to Buckhead and get a picture with him. And she did.

This week he posted a picture and story about being on stage for Easter and seeing this:

It was a moment that stands out above all else in my 11 years of leading worship.

His wife who has a blog too said she was changed forever by this scene.

Sometimes I wonder why I read blogs. Sometimes I'm annoyed. Sometimes I'm inspired. Sometimes I disagree. Sometimes I agree. I guess it's the inspiration. Seeing someone live in faith, sharing family times, traveling to Uganda with Compassion International...You gotta watch the "Throwing Rocks at my BooDaddy" mini series.

I think this Buckhead Church sounds like a very special place. And that's why I love blogs. They take me places I've never been before.
