Exploding Brain

I might be the ten thousandth person to post, blog or discuss “The Leadership Summit ’08″ this weekend.  All I want to say is that my brain might explode.  I am exhausted.  My mind can hardly process the amount of information and rich spiritual wisdom that this Thursday and Friday had to offer.  As the optimistic person that I am, I thought it was overwhelmingly awesome.  Every session and interview that was displayed via satelite (which was very awkward… “do I clap?  Everyone else at the real site is standing up and clapping, does that mean we should?”) was fruitful.

I wouldn’t say that it has totally impacted me in a way that I will forever be changed, but it has given me such an amazing example of the confidence (some people maybe cocky, but mostly confidence) that these leaders and history makers have in the Lord Almighty.  My biggest fear is that I become like them, because I know that God has called me to be Nate Johnson and not Craig Groeshcel (although that wouldn’t be a bad person to imitate).

Although it felt sometimes like the speakers were doing a shameless plug for their books (that had their opening release at that conference), something about being in a place with other hungry and thirsty leaders waiting for the Spirit’s leading in their ministry and church.

Overall, awesome two days but I must find away for my brain not to be pounding with all this information.

Trying Things Out

So this is a blog!  This a blog that I have no idea what to do with.  Now grant it, I have been reading blogs for a very long time.  At first it was my amazingly witty friends and now it has expanded to “celebrity” Christians like Crowder, Groechel, Driscoll, Chan.  Each person has their own little thing that they do on these blogs.  Crowder never capitalizes anything.  Chan carries his camera everywhere and others sound super spiritual.  I will attempt to be myself.

Here I am.  Maybe I’ll have a thing that people know me for or I’ll sound just interesting enough that people will want to read.  One thing that will probably happen is the length.  It will never be too long what so ever.  If I get tired of reading my own stuff then it is obvious what will happen to you.

I feel like (not to sound super spiritual) Noah coming off the ark for the first time when the floods have resided where he probably thought to himself, “what now?”  This gonna be weird but also very fun for me and I will try my best to make this as enjoyable for you.

Let the fun begin: I will now let you hear something that has been one of the greatest things I have ever been a part of all summer.  If you listen closely you can almost hear me.   Here You Go!
