Cornerstone and Stuff. / 07.10.08, 09:41 AM
Oh dear. It’s been far too long since I updated. Apologies all around.
Last week I had the opportunity to attend Cornerstone Fest in Bushnell Illinois to do recruiting for Mission Year. I’d wanted to go to Cornerstone since I was like 15 so I was more than excited to go. There was much recruiting. There were great bands (Revolution Radio, mewithoutYou, the psalters, The Last Hope, O.C.D., Flatfoot 56, Sleeping Giant) and good times in general. I got to hang with swell folks like Samantha Herod and Chris Lahr and meet all kinds of stellar people.
Sam and I got a ride back and had quite a time once we got back into the city. We dropped off our newfound Australian friend, Belinda at the hostel downtown. As we were pulling away our car scratched against a parked car. There were police “stationed” on the corner for Taste of Chicago and they saw the whole mess.
We backed up and they said they’d have to call for a car because none of them had any reports one them. No sweat. After about 15 minutes the one officer comes over and says “it’s gonna take a while, they’re real busy. This is not a big deal though. Seriously.” The same thing happened another 20 minutes or so later. One of the officers even went as far to hit on the driver of our car…
Long story short, we ended up driving to the station to file our info there and get a report. The officer at the station said “just leave a note on the car.” So we go back to leave the note and the guys say “we didn’t think you were coming back.” I’d venture to suggest that Jesus would sit and put up with all the running around and come and go back to wherever he was told even when it wasn’t necessary. I was pretty stoked when I thought of it, as I’d been praying throughout the whole ordeal as to how I could be like Jesus when I was getting played by cops. Thanks you Jesus.
Interesting developments in my life: I don’t think I’ve ever been too good at having “vision” or whatever. Knowing this has prevented me from doing things I want to do and am good at doing and kept me in places where I don’t feel useful because I’m not good at whatever it is I’m doing. I now know this and am going to work against it. More on that in the coming weeks…
Peace.
