You may or may not know that I'm not a very religious person. I'm open to
what anyone believes. (i.e. God, Jesus, Allah, Mohamed, Joseph
Smith....whatevs) And I absolutely believe that they believe. I also believe that whenever you get a group of people together on the same page in one room, it can be powerful.

Yesterday was my first Sunday in Oklahoma and this is a God-Fearing state. Part of my deal with staying with my sister is attending church every Sunday. She took me to Lifechurch.
Now, I don't know what the house of God was like when you all grew up, but this was a trip. You are greeted with snacks, iced tea stations, coffee stations, cocoa, etc. It feels like a concert or movie theater. The building is an acoustically perfect warehouse with rockstar lighting and the band was off the hook. Huge drum set with a 5 ft drum panel, a 5 string bass, 2 electric guitars, 1 acoustic guitar, keyboards , 2-3 back up singers at a time and 1 lead vocalist. And again, the mix was outstanding. Someone put a lot of time and dollars into this joint. Here is the kicker.....the pastor is fed in digitally! So, he simultaneously preaches to something like 15 different "campuses" at a time! This is a damn good time to be a pastor. They also make tithing available via your iphone or online.
Jesus has gone digital.
Love,
Katie
