American Idol - They Didn't Get It!

Yes, I know, I'm going to talk about Danny's performance tonight, singing Jesus Take The Wheel.

He did an awesome job on that song! It was absolutely BRILLIANT!

The judges, well, they didn't get the beginning, where he sang it softer, gentler, more tentatively.

I got it. Danny, I got it!

Just as in the song, she's driving, things aren't perfect, she's leading her own life. When we run our own lives, it's always going to be more tentative, just like a woman driving a car on a cold winter night, not knowing if she's going to make it home.

And then she loses control of the car on the ice and cries out to Jesus.

And when Danny was singing the song, when he cried out to Jesus, he BLEW!!

I'm telling you, when Jesus takes charge, there's nothing tentative about it, He brings us up and out and way past our comfort zone -- and it's all good, it's His Perfect Will.

He takes our poor little lives in His Hands and puts us on His Path, His road Home. We will make it Home.

American Idol - they didn't get it.

But Danny, I got it and it brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you, my brother in Christ.

Thank you.

The Spirit Fills The Space

The building may be tiny, but the Spirit fills the space.

This is a great website about tiny churches. I am really amazed at the creativity of the builders, who realized that big and ostentatious isn't what He was about.

Jesus wasn't about big displays, He was all about the little man, the poor, the weak, the disenfranchised.

I believe that He appreciates the work put into such tiny space. So many people set up a little prayer corner, a little alter in their homes, but for the builders of these churches, a corner just wasn't enough. They needed more, just like God always expects more.

More faith, more love, more power.

There is a true Love for the Lord that's put into building a tiny church. It's about worshiping Him -- a personal statement of Faith.

I wish I had a tiny church where I could retreat from the world and just worship Him.

No matter how small, His Spirit fills the space.
