friday the 13th. beware.
we are being pelted by various & asundry raindrops coming in from hurricanes named bonnie & charley. what hideous names even for hurricanes.
last night after the worst of the storms came through, i headed to vintage for a worship night. on the way there i saw a portion of a rainbow, save for the middle which was covered by the trees. when i pulled into the lot, everyone was outside staring up at the sky. i got out of my car, turned around & saw the most spectacular rainbow i've ever seen. ever. everevereverever. from that viewing spot you could see a full & brilliant rainbow. i had not camera with me although sarah managed to snap a cheesy pic of it with her disposable that was in the car. when i get a copy & a scanner of same, it shall be posted for the enjoyment of all.
our worship service was quite unique. since we're doing renovations to "muck" up our very corporate building (such a change from our previous loft & industrial & funkeclectic feel of before), we focused on God as a foundation. part of the service was taking names of God & writing them directly on the exposed skeleton walls that are up now. i picked "rose of sharon" for some strange reason.
after that, we wrote on additional 2x4s with names of friends, family & those who we desire to have community. as i was thinking of all those smaller communities i have in my life (raleigh, richmond, family, college, childhood, church, work, internet) the names & faces of plenty of people swooped through my mind. so many of you got prayered last night. & your names are inscribed in permanant black marker to be used as part of the foundation at vintage. it's like a piece of you is right there next to me every sunday.
i'm such a sentimental sap sometimes. find your community - love your community & tell me how that works out for you.

Rainbows...ah, I love them.
I've never heard of writing on building frames. That's really cool.
