the origins experience was incredible......there is way too much to even try to begin to share......it's time for action.......i saw action......there was an energy out there.....an energy i have never felt in any church......the people of mosaic take the unlovable.....the broken......the rejected......the hopeless...............and love them like jesus does........and then the broken become whole.........the rejected become accepted and the hopeless are filled with hope...........i know because i was one of those....broken, rejected and hopeless...........real christianity in action does something to you when you see it and when you take part in it.........

we are in los angeles right now....dale and i.......i have met some of the most amazing people i have ever met in my life here and this is why........i have seen more christlike joy......passion for the lost......love for people......hospitality for strangers......oh the list goes on......real christianity in action......it is so refreshing......so inspiring.........the amazing thing is that many of the people here for this conference are in transition like we are.......their lives in limbo.....many don't know where they will be living next week......many have lost jobs.......most have been wounded by the church........but yet, still that unwavering love and joy......selfless love........

it's only day two........and even after my day of hollywood boulevard, beverly hills and rodeo drive.......the richness and amazement in my life right now comes only from the people i have met.......no souvenir can compare to that..........

more to come.......
