Trish and I went to The Salvation Army banquet tonight. It was an incredible experience. Here is a church, and they are a church, who is doing precisely what the church is supposed to be doing--proclaiming and living the gospel. Yeah, their theology is on the conservative side, but the thing about it is the dogma isn't what is important, the action is what is important. It's like they exist in a parallel universe to much of the Christian world. We are all arguing about theological and social issues, pigeon-holing one another. They are out loving people in the name of Jesus.

Thank you God for the experience.
