I managed to catch a shot of the almost sunrise.  The sun rises around 5am, but I got this one at 6:

We were very excited to go and check out Sagebrush Community Church today.  It’s a church plant out of Albuquerque, NM.  Whit thinks they must have been to the “Drive” conference at Northpoint because it’s so similar in format to our church.  They meet in the movie theatre, and truly, thank GOD, it is air conditioned because it was a brutally hot still day today.

The sermon was fantastic.  The pastor is the son of a Baptist preacher (sound familiar?), so there was a Baptist feel, with a contemporary vibe.  I have to say, I walked out of there full of the spirit!  Look up the writings of JC Ryle on “A Zealous Man burns for one thing.”  Woo doggy, I need that sucker printed on a poster.

After church, what else but to go to Starbucks…oh I mean MARBUCKS, for a frappacino.

I’m happy to say that Whit arrived safely today, so we’ll get to add him to our adventures tomorrow!
