Highland, Preaching, & Hip Hop

Well I found out that I'm speaking at Highland Church of Christ in Abilene, TX on Valentine's Day (February 14th for those who are feeling clueless.) I hope you'll come check it out, as I will have very depressing things to say since that day is entirely too happy. I'm just kidding, but there's a chance I may not be.

I'm not gonna lie though, I'm pretty excited about it. Not just cause I get to be in front of people. If that were the case, I would have gladly stuck to the stage. There's a great difference between acting and preaching... yes, that's right, preaching. I guess for me, and this is not to discredit the actor, I have to be in front of people with a purpose and a message. The actor, of course, has a message and a purpose, but it is one authored for him by someone other than himself. When you preach, you get to have a message and purpose that is completely unique to the design that God has formed you. That's why I like it. It gives me the opportunity to tell where I've been and how God has been there with me through all of those places, no matter how dark or dim lit they may have been.

p.s. I was trying to think of another word besides preaching, but I guess that's what it is. I feel weird now. Oh well.
