Back from Sacramento

Pastor JD & Ace at Discovery Church

I got in late last night from Sacramento. The church services at Discovery went really well and I got to meet a lot of nice people like Karen Marshal, who took me to church, lunch and then to the airport. She has two kids around my age.

The music was really loud and rocking during services 2 and 3---Guitars with heavy crunch distortion and soloing. The earlier, first service was their "unplugged" version and it was much quieter. It was interesting to see how the same material was altered from service to service, including the questions and answers of my onstage interview!

On the plane, I met a woman in her early 50s and a guy my age. We talked about politics, music and eventually, religion. The woman's father had just died. I suspected they weren't believers, although they said they came from Christian backgrounds. I was surpised when the guy asked if we could pray together for the woman and her family's loss. So we did. It was kind of cool to pray with strangers on the plane.

On the way home, the shuttle van hit something on the freeway and got a flat tire! Thank God for keeping us safe. We got off the freeway and the driver changed the tire in about 20 minutes. Then I finally got to come home to Christine and Jojo. It was so nice to be home.

I was so tierd last night. I was in transit for a long time yesterday and I needed a lot of sleep!
