saddleback: christian disneyland (day1)

i have a ton to say, good, bad, and diet (see picture at the end of post).

so we're here at the Purpose Driven Worship Conference. chris tomlin will be here friday, along with louie giglio, and i can't wait to hear both of them again. this is my first time to saddleback, and my wife and i have decided that it is muy sweet, and you can tell that a lot of it is fake, but it's still really sweet. like disneyland. not so sure exactly how i feel about the whole, "i'm in so-cal so it's in to be fake" feeling, but i'll try to pin down my feelings by this weekend. maybe i'll get to talk to more people tomorrow and that will make everything a little less touristy. i did talk to one kid with an underoath shirt on, but he was apalled once he heard that i had yet to purchase define the great line. also, maybe it was just my feeling, but i thought that with that many worship leaders in one room, there would be a lot less clapping for every song as if we're here to hear the rick muchow band.

sidenote: after the final worship session tonight, i'm lining up at my urinal, and rick muchow steps up next to me and says, "aah, blessed relief." so i asked him if he wanted to race. he told me that i'd probably win, and that was the end of the conversation. but if it's anyone's business, i did win, and i had a button fly. booyah.

more tomorrow.
