This morning, our team visited Austin Stone Community Church to attend Sunday service - popularly known as the home of Chris Tomlin. I was surprised to see that the church that birthed today's arguably most recognized CCM artist still held their services in a high school auditorium. Instead of walking into the classic mega-church building with high ceilings, plasma screens, and plush auditorium seating, I was greeted with fold-up chairs and lockers lining the hallway. This morning was a gentle reminder that the extent to which God can use the church does not depend on the size, grandeur, or, even, the existence of a church building.

(Although, as you can see, they still managed to have the giant plasma screens... How do they set those babies up every week?)
Although Chris was out of town on yet another one of his world tours, worship was still excellent as his fellow lead worshiper, Andy Melvin, led the band and the people. The music was great, mixing was perfect, PVP didn't crash, and the sermon was touching. I was satisfied with my experience until, on my way out, I tripped on something and lost my balance a bit. I looked down only to see this:
yeah. imagine if i fell? i was the only asian woman (besides jen) in that auditorium... it's bad enough they think im a bad driver, but clumsy on top of that? =/
