on drums and volunteering

Ok, So I am getting the hang of blogging. They say the hard part of blogging is getting past the first few blogs and creating that habit of it, well We will see.

Today was good, today I tried out for my church to play drums.We played for about 40 minutes or so. Different songs and a few that I werent ready for but I think the worship leader was impressed and he said that I was a great drummer and that he would add me to the roster. I have been playing drums for years and have never had the opportunity to really play for a church I wanted to stay a member of until now. So many churches are like refrigerators

anyway,
So many churches feel they need to collect all the christians in the world and save them till Yeshua(Jesus) comes back -----well maybe thats not how a church should act.
Our church isn't like that
 and I have learned a bunch from them
Maybe God doesnt want to be found in a huge church full of money and tvs and rock bands and fancy
things. Maybe God would rather be found in places like here:

All Im saying is that society says that we can only find God in a peaceful place or in a church but Maybe thats  wrong. maybe the hidden thing is that God can be found anywhere and not just in churches or on the mountaintops. 
A few weeks ago our church got to join another in washing the feet of immigrants that live in the greater Charlotte area, as well as giving them new shoes. This was an extremely humbling experience. But the most humbling part of that was to find out that the person who is in charge of that has a law degree from Georgetown and he gave up a very successful law career to help these immigrants which means making a lot less money and decreasing his standard of living substantially in order to help these immigrants. Very Humbling.
In that experience I experienced God more than I ever did at any mega super church I have been to.

Thank you for reading my posts, Shalom
