Just so you know. . .

I thought it would be a good idea to post if for no other reason than to prove that I am still in fact alive. It seems like every day goes by so fast but I really don’t do a whole lot. I mean, I look back at what I did this week end and I can tell you what I spent my time on, but it just seems like it was just Friday. I must be getting old!

Church tonight at Vintage was ok. I’m always a little worried about getting more attached to a specific pastor/worship leader combo cause that isn’t why you should go to a church, but dang it, it’s just not the same when Dan doesn’t preach and Josh doesn’t do music. It’s kind of like getting tickets to a concert by your favorite band but when you get there you find out it is a cover band instead. They may still be good and the music may still be the same, but it’s not what you were wanting. I think it has been like 3-4 weeks since Dan gave the sermon and that does bother me a little bit. Obviously with my Dad being a pastor I know it’s not like he isn’t doing anything, but he is the pastor of the church. I also have nothing against lay ministry and I believe it is a good resource to use, but it bothers me having so many un-ordained people delivering the sermon. The last couple of weeks have felt more like support group meetings for AA or overeater’s anonymous or something than church services. *sigh* I just don’t want to swing back into that feeling of church is not for me. I feel like I finally found a church that I do really like but I don’t know if that is the service I will get when I show up. Anyway. . .

So it was like totally hot here today. I was sweating sitting in church! It is supposed to be toasty again tomorrow. Good BBQ weather!

Anyway, I think that is about it for now. Peace!

  • about me

    My name is Jonathan Assink.

    I'm a writer, photographer, baseball nut, foodie & lover of indie bands you've probably never heard of. I wrote a theology of justice for artists & love to talk about the intersection of art, faith & social justice. I am passionate about words & images. I have a heart for the city, for the church (in whatever form it takes) & for artists.

    Though inspired & influenced by many different people and experiences my words here are my own & do not represent the views of any organization I might be involved in.
