And I'll become even more undignified than this~
I LOVE that song. I've loved it for years, I always get excited when that song is played at church.
So, yesterday was a blast, my youth group and I went to Unite Maine, and it was essentially like a mini Acquire the Fire. I also got to play scooter basketball and wrestle in a sumo suit. (Video coming soon to a youtube near you.)
Best part? I felt God's love stronger than I have in years. It was so great, I was nearly in tears. I was jumping and clapping and yelling along with the loud music. I had been clapping and psudo-jumping to the songs beforehand, and my hands and calves were sooooore, but the second I really felt God, I didn't even notice it at all. Yay! :D Ah, wow, that was amazing.
Also, the sermon was about people's view of God, and some of them were hilarious.
Star Wars God: That big God that is somewhere out in the universe, who really isn't a person, but is a glowing orb or something. "May the Force be with you."
OnStar God: If you're ever driving down the road of life, and you need to find the closest Dunkin Donuts, well, press a button and the OnStar God is there to give you direction, but as soon as you find it, you go about your business alone.
Grandpa God: That old guy who isn't really relavant to your life, he's old and always tells you to speak up. He's also got a walker and he doesn't really understand anything about these days. If he tells you to do something strang, you just say, "Oookay grandpa," and you roll your eyes and walk away.
Ebay God: If you ever need something, Ebay God has everything, you just ask away. He's also there if you need to get rid of some junk and stuff, but after all that you're off spending the money you earned or playing with the toy you bought.
Scorekeeper God: He's always watching. You lie, -15 points. Oh, you read your bible? +20 points. Came to Church? +40. And at the end of your life, you have to be above a certain amount of points to get into heaven. (This is one of the biggest misconceptions of Christianity.)
Stained Glass God: That God who lives at church, you visit him every Sunday, listen to the sermon, pray the prayers, then you go back home and play Xbox. He never really leaves church.
Average Joe God: ("Jesus is my Homeboy" shirt was shown.) He's your buddy, you're on the same level, he's just as bad as the rest of us and stuff. Personally, I'd have trouble worshipping someone who was my equal.
Doomsday God: The God who is all about FIRE, DAMNATION AND HELL. He's just waiting for you to mess up so he can send you to hell.
No God God: God doesn't exist.
Politically Correct God: God is whoever you choose him to be. Everybody is right. It's kinda like the salad bar. Hmm, I think I'll have a little bit of Ebay God, I've got some stuff I need, and a little bit of Stained Glass God, cause I don't want to be bothered during the week... Ooh! OnStar God sounds nice. Oh, and I want a little bit of Doomsday God, except for her. -points-
Politically Correct God, (PC God) bothers me. >.<
Quotes!
AJ's Dad, (who is a HUGE flirt. This takes place after we witnessed him constantly flirting with a waitress): "Yeah, I could effectively flirt with a dead woman. Problem is that I get the same results from the living.
Us: -obnoxious-
Mrs Archer: I can't wait to own my own island...
Corey: Oh! Can I own it with you?
Mrs. Archer: That would defeat the purpose!! D:
Ben: My grandma is bigger than your grandma!
Mrs. Archer: Well, my grandma's dead, so, yeah.
Mrs. Archer: That will leave you enough time to get your hairdid.
Us: Hairdid?
Mrs. Archer: Hairdid.

I will dance, I will sing,
To be mad for my King,
Nothing Lord is hindering,
This passion in my soul!
And I'll become even more undignified than this,
Some may say it's foolishness,
But I'll become even more undignified than this,
Leave my pride by my side,
And I'll become even more undignified than this,
Some may say it's foolishness,
But I'll become even more undignified than this!
It's all for You my Lord!
