Mindless Juices

I feel like I've been nothing more than working, sleeping and watching a little TV in there. On Sunday, Sabrina and I went to the House Party music festival with friends. We sat in VIP box 65. One thing my amazing wife forgot to mention was that the proceeds from House Party go to Habitat for Humanity to build a house for a family who I believe is local. Money above and beyond that house are going to hurricane relief funds for Habitat. So, all-in-all, freakin' great cause. Also, one thing I've learned since House Party: the tickets aren't actually from Time Warner. Apparently, a guy named Chad who works at Time Warner... his father or father-in-law has this VIP box. Occasionally (from what I understand, more often than not) no one in Chad's family plans on attending. Chad usually brings them in for various groups to auction off or he gives them to various people upon request. My boss heard about these tickets for House Party and thought of me. He snagged them and offered them... I am extremely grateful. After finding this out, I realized something: I am successfully living my Christianity out-of-the-closet. I'm not hiding it. I may not be shouting from the rooftops, but I'm not ashamed of it. Moreover, my co-workers know that I listen to Christian music. That means, they've heard the Christian music I played while I'm in the office. I can only pray that some seeds may have been planted. I should note that many of my co-workers consider themselves Christians. For some, only God may truly ever know. But, many of them don't really seem to live like Christians.... not that there's a way to live, per say, but I do believe there is the Holy Spirit dwelling inside you that shines through if you truly believe Jesus is your personal saviour from sin. In some cases (like mine), I think we sometimes only let him rent a room in our heart. So, he's not really living in me like I think I want him to. Still, he has enough of a presence for others to notice and that's a new realization for me. I'm happy about it and assures me that I have not been completely stagnant in my growth.
