PPDD: Post - PassionDC Dilemma

so everyone's been asking "how was Passion?" and all i can honestly answer with is "it was.... ." i didnt have an answer. altho ive spent some post-passion time reflecting, i couldnt figure out what i had 'gotten' from it. cus the 'thoughts' that came to me at Passion seemed to get 'unconfirmed' from post-passion til now. like in the moment, it was like "yeahh!! that's what im gunna do." or "that's the answer!" but it really was an in the moment thing. so i still dont know.. .but there's one thing i do know. i realized i missed the comfort of worshipping like that, with so many others. genuinely worship, ppl so passionate, not caring about what the person next to them is doing. its great knowing that 3000 others around you are there and focused on God. i crave that type of atmosphere. its like glimpses of heaven =). ACF's been different this year. i dont know what it is, but its just not the type of fellowshiping i desire. SCAC? not even close. Passion? thats more like it! one particular thing i really enjoyed about passion07 was the community/family groups. its amazing how our family groups were made of up approx 8-10 ppl who didnt know each other at all, from all over the US (or the world), but we could share openly with each other. actually, its even MORE open than with ppl you know. cus we'll highly likely never see these ppl on Earth again. and plus we've all got one thing in common, and that is God. and as we shared more and more, we all had similar troubles/questions/concerns. we're not alone. ooooh!! they touched on that at PassionDC. for some ppl, they were the only one from their campus. but at Passion, we saw that we weren't alone. there with us, was 3000 others and we're all part of God's army. =) that was a great reminder. cus i kinda feel like im the 'only one' from scac. well, not the ONLY one, but the amount of hot ppl is small enough in what i would consider a lukewarm church. and i admit, im lukewarm at times myself.

Francis also spoke about the lukewarm church at Passion07. actually, that was the message that touched me the most. "its not that i so big. its you so small!" im not all that spiritual. its just that you're NOT. in fact, i might even go as far as saying "im lukewarm. you're COLD". thats honestly how i feel about scac. its like their coldness rubs off and discourages me. but i dont think ive ever been spiritually fed at scac. my spiritual growth source has always been outside of scac. thruout high school, i guess its been TC and other christian events. last year, it was ACF. this year, its been personal devos and searching... mostly online.
now the question is... how can scac become hot? how to become that match that lights up? it can be a tiny flame, but hey... light trumps darkness! and the Eternal flame will keep us going =)

another thing... a lot of ppl seem to comment David Crowder Band's worship leading as concert like. really? i dont know about that. if anything, i'd say its a reminder that you can have fun while worshiping! yes, he brings out the keytar or guitar hero guitar, or he busts out a hoedown or incorporates super mario bros theme... but the focus and glory still goes back to God. and if anything, his call and response style (me first!) encourages the crowd to participate. its a different style of worship. and i like it =)

oh yeah.. dcb wasnt at passiondc. i was just refering back to passion07 and been watching dcb stuff on youtube and such. haha... and i've found this which made me laugh pretty hard! its from Charlie Hall and band recording their cd. the pianist (dunno name) starts playing the piano part for Closer. then Dustin starts singing other stuff, then others join in. then Kendall's expression is just priceless! Brian's highpitchedness is also LOL-worthy. =P

just proves that they're human, have a sense of humour, and similar to many of us. like how Tomlin, Giglio, Redman, Francis Chan, and Crowder constantly made fun of each other this past weekend and in the podcasts. hahaha!!

Redman: i like wordplay. like how Britney Spears is an anagram of presbyterians. an anagram is when you mix up the letters
giglio: what do you get outta Chris Tomlin?
Redman: a tiny little Texan... if you add an X!

HAHAHAHA
and if you find Francis Chan's youtube vlog, you'll find some hilarious videos!


but anyways, thats it for now about PassionDC. once again, like my blog description over there ----->
i cant do a one post summary of the conference. i guess it'll be noticed over time. time to be a fruitcake! =)



12:30am (next day) edit:
oh yeah. there's a nudge telling me to share about Do Something Now with scac. how should i go about doing this? as in... obviously, share about DSN from passion07 and passionDC.. which ones from passion07 should i share about? and after sharing, it would only make sense to initiate a DSN at scac. suggestions? towels/socks? oneverse? Passion world tour? Bibles Unbound?
