A Religious Experience

Amen Corner - The Master's officially starts today. Golf doesn't get any better than this week in Augusta, Georgia. Of course, to many, golf couldn't get any worse...it is kinda like talking about NASCAR, oh wait, that is popular. There is something about the mastery of golf in the context of tradition & grandeur, shrouded in the quiet contemplation of walking about acres of beauty surrounded by tens of thousands, yet hearing your own pulse beat in you chest. Cathedral, pilgrimage, great cloud of witnesses, anointed one, forgiveness and redemption...this church has it all. "SHHHHH, quiet please."

2100 Woodward Ave. - Did you know that there is a church here? Tomorrow there will be over 40,000 in attendance, and I will be one of them. I can't wait. I heard this morning that Matt Giraud is singing. Mayor Dave Bing will be there, too. Chris Chelios is hosting us for lunch. "What a day that will be." Of course, they really do need to get the parking fees under control.

Two Of The Biggies - This week's Christian Standard lists two Michigan Churches that rank in the largest congregations of our fellowship. Both were planted by New Churches of Christ Evangelism, whom we support. How appropriate that NCCE will be our guest this weekend. I hope you will come and hear Ron Scott share about this incredible ministry that we partner with.

Ample Parking - God has given each of us unique passions and interests, that we have gotten SERIOUS about. But He has also given us some common assignments to get serious about. This is shaping up to be a monumental weekend. Don't miss out.
