We (Garry, Char, and I) skipped the last 1/2 day of the convention. We took in a tour of the Crystal Cathedral. Wow!
The decadence is astounding! Not many could say that these people have given less than their best to God – at least when it comes to their building anyway. The Christmas set that was erected costs a million dollars to make. It was all really overwhelming
In light of Shane Claiborne’s message it all felt sickeningly gluttonous. Ironically, if Shane could he’d:
“visit the Crystal Cathedral with St. Francis... and then hitchhike to the beach to turn some somersaults and hear him preach to the seagulls.”
I digress…
Then we went to Huntington Beach and spent 1 1/2 hours in the ocean (the first time since I was 10)
We packed up and headed to the airport and ‘enjoyed’ the bumpy ride home…
Much to process…

well you know. the crystal cathedral has to be a big deal. it has to be massive, it has to have every possible wall space covered in windows, it has to spend 1 mill on a christmas set........its obvious, if it didn't have all these things i'm pretty sure God wouldn't be there on a sunday morning. ha. we were created to be like God right? well we are materialistic so that must mean that God is materialistic. hmm. you'd agree wouldn't you? oops i think i just puked in my mouth again.
