The Fray
There is a new song out by The Fray called You found me. The song makes me think of the psalms. The first line of the song starts off "I found God on the corner of First and Amistad" and from there the singer goes on to talk about some of the struggles he has had when he needed people in his life and they weren't there. When you look at the psalms you need to keep in mind that the writer weren't just trying to write the bible they were pouring there feelings out in poetry to God. Sometimes it can get downright violent and mean because the author was angry at the time. Look at psalm 74:1 the author is questioning what God is doing. Yet if you continue reading you look at the first line of Psalm 75 is giving thanks to God for his wondrous deeds. It's so interesting to me that in the bible we have a vast array of emotions in one section of the bible. I guess you could call it top 40 section of the bible. See everyone on Sunday.

Upcoming things and other thoughts
So the other night I had this crazy dream where I thought I was being hit by something and I couldn't feel my arm anymore. Well I was sleeping on it funny and I had cut off the blood flow. Anyway I woke up and was scared and just about pushed Stephanie out of the bed onto the floor. Fortunately she was so asleep (heavy sleeper!!!) that she didn't notice so make sure you don't tell her if you see her. Speaking of my wife I was telling her what days I was going to be gone on trips this summer and she told me she might be able to go with us to Catholic Heart Work Camp in Chicago this summer. I was so excited if she comes it will be extra awesome I promise! Ok so it is official we got the weeks I wanted for both summer trips. So just as a reminder it will be June 7th through 13th for CHWC and June 26th-30th for One Bread One Cup. check these websites for info on each. http://oboc.saintmeinrad.edu/ for OBOC and http://www.heartworkcamp.com/ for CHWC. We have forms for each of these trips up on our website www.saintchristopherparish.org. Fill out that basic form and turn it with your deposit and your spot will be saved! I'll leave you with two things first is a reminder that if we get 25 people to go to NCYC that I will let you shave my hair in a mohawk for the trip. the second thing is this link to youtube with one of my current favorite videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzRH3iTQPrk More blogging later!
