"this is when they bring out the snakes"

Sunday night we went to Passion City Church, which has been meeting at the Cobb Energy Center. Louie Giglio is the pastor…he grew up at FBC with Andy Stanley. Music is led by Chris Tomlin, who currently has the number one Christian song in the nation. Both are quite passionate, making the service quite worshipful. Guess the church is aptly named. They’re only meeting every other week this summer, so they probably don’t care that the service lasts over two hours. Great service, just long. Crowd is younger than the North Point congregation. They just rented that big building on Garmon Circle, near Lindbergh and Piedmont.

During a short lull in the service, I was able to pull out the old line about the snakes. Unintentionally, the young lady in front of me overheard, and it touched her funny bone. She snickered for a long moment.

Not much going on with us. Anna is catching up on her art classes and helped Claire one day. Will has been driving, and is hanging out at the Normans. He is building a window seat in Anna’s room. Looks good, so far. They’re almost finished painting the bathroom.

We’re supposed to go to Rosemary Beach with the Hurts. Anna’s birthday is that week. She had wanted to go, but now everyone (except me) is having second thoughts. Ceil’s family reunion is that weekend, and they all want to go. Ceil’s not crazy about her dad driving long distances any more, so she’d rather go there. School is starting up, so there’s stuff to do for that.
