highway to hell

road trip!! i headed over to canton, georgia at 2:45 this morning to visit gary lamb and the gang at ridgestone church. these guys start setting up for a 10am service at 5:30! these "stoners" are hard core servants. they bring in staging and lighting - a 40 foot truss up on two lifts and a couple of stand up trusses on stage - plus full production. i needed to see this so i can prepare for truenorth's move to north augusta high school gymnasium in september when we bring in portable staging and lighting. everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. i had a large time. gary was preaching on hell - and tim may and the band rocked out ac/dc's "highway to hell"! it was a great message - one that is not spoken about often but we need to acknowledge. it struck me on the way home this afternoon how many people are on that highway - and think it's cool. ain't nothin' cool about hell! i think many of us feel hell may be or may not be real. well it is real and some place we should work to keep ourselves and others out of. thanks gary and all of the cool cats at ridgestone!
as much as i enjoyed ridgestone, i equally missed our services at truenorth. every since going back to two services memorial day weekend you can feel the tnc vibe is reverberating - ripples of energy. i love that energy. peace
