In other news we returned to Andrew's hell, which goes by the name of Rainforest Cafe. The fear in his eyes is so real. This was his 3rd time going. He clutches to my chest like a cat over water, buries his face and plugs his ears. This time his way of coping involved falling asleep. I think his body shut down to block out the terror.
I'm reading a fantastic book called Evangelicals in the Canterbury Trail. It's about the draw to the liturgical church. I love seeing things in a new perspective. I think it's great to take a step back, look at what's "always been" take it apart, question it and figure it all out. I've been raised in a discourse that thinks only people who adhere to certain spiritual do's and don'ts go to heaven. That's pretty crazy, no? Everyone thinks their interpretation of the bible is the only one, and if you don't accept it then you're on the outs. Christianity is like a diamond, so many facets.
I like what the new pope said. He hopes there would be unity in the brotherhood. Can you imagine how awesome it would be if we (the church) actually came together as one just as Christ and God are one?

You know, I was thinking about that the other day. How big an impact we would have as Christ Followers if we weren't so consumed with the expansion of our own local church as a separate entity from the all the others. The whole "I am of Paul" and "I am of Peter" mentality on a global scale.
Also, my wife hasn't' let me take the bottle away from my Year and 8 month old when we put him to bed... is that bad?
