a couple of cool things

So every year my friend Scott Mangene plays a Christmas gig at the HUB at Penn State. Scott's a local musician who has become a follower of Christ over the past several years, and he leads worship at Calvary off and on. Usually the Christmas gig is, well, Christmasy.

But this year he's invited a few other musicians to join him, and we're going to do an hour of worship songs. In the HUB. At Penn State. At noon. Tomorrow.

Scott is more excited (and a little nervous) than I've ever seen him. He is sure that this is the opportunity to let his light shine for Jesus that he's been asking God for.

I love it when people get pumped about using their talents to honor the Lord! God probably thinks that it's pretty cool, too.

And cool thing #2: My 12 year old son (Levi) is has organized a "Steeler Shirt Friday" at his school tomorrow to give the Steelers a little something extra for their upcoming game against the undefeated Patriots. I'm thinking that he puts the "fan" in "fanatic!"
