A friend performed at a coffeehouse last night at the Huntington Street Cafe. They called the night "music of faith." It was really fairly cool to hear spiritual music, music that lifted up the name of Christ in a setting like this particular pub. It was their first try at it and it seems to have real potential. As my friend sat on his stool bookended by hand drawn pictures of Neil Young and Carlos Santana, and sang Third Day Songs and songs of his own composition I couldn't help but be excited about the future of the "music of faith" night and how God might use it.

I saw an old acquaintance from high school there. She ran amongst the popular elite of our class. I nodded and smiled to her across the room. I never did go over to say 'what have you been up to since high school?' or anything else clever like that. And as I thought about it on the way home, I realized I am still intimidated by her. I don't know who she is now, or what she does now. It's like I was back in the cafeteria at high school.

I recently read something by Erwin McManus that said "Pride is the determination to be seen as bigger than we are." I was concerned that this old high school acquaintance see me as something bigger than I am. I am incredibly prideful.
