Cut off

I will be spending two whole days with no email or internet… Will I survive? Will I return with some kind of a facial “tick”? Will I break down in the middle of the night and drive to some all-night Truckstop/Intenet Cafe?

Do I rely on this technology too much? I think maybe… I’m about to find out…

Go Joey!

19-year old kid, always coming in close to last…

Joey Logano was down one lap and came back to make just the right move at just the right time, hoping it would start to rain and cut the race short… and it worked. We watched the whole race!

Hard work and perseverance and constant improvement and patience and all those great qualities that turn someone into a winner… Go Joey!

So… I’m tweeting…

…but I can’t figure out why.

It seems everybody in the world is on twitter these days, and I have to say, even though I try and keep my entries here short, what on earth does anybody care about following somebody else’s every move through the day in 140-character blocks. I’ll try and stay with it for a while (I do it from my computer, though, not my phone), and I’ll follow some friends…

…but somebody help me out here, is this just one of those things like CB radios in everybody’s car that we’re just going to laugh at in 20 years? I think maybe…

I don’t even know how to post a “follow me on twitter” link. If you “tweet”, I’m peterhamm.

Stop.

Okay, stop what you’re doing.

For anybody who reads this space who doesn’t own the latest Charlie Hall CD, “The Bright Sadness”. Stop.

Right now.

Go here and buy it.

I just got a chance today at the Willow Creek Arts Conference to spend some time in a seminar with Charlie and then in the evening to attend a small acoustic worship event. Charlie doesn’t connect me with Charlie. And it’s not just that his songs are amazing and that the passion in his voice and instrument are insanely inspired. It’s that Charlie connects me to this guy who gave everything so that I could be part of God’s plan on earth, this guy named Jesus.

I can’t recommend Charlie’s music enough. No other songwriter or worship leader since Rich Mullins connects me to God quite the way Charlie does. Just in case you google yourself, Charlie… THANK YOU!
