Jack is Back

Many props and high kicks to 24 and the people who have created all of its glory. Tonight I witnessed probably the most intense scene I have ever seen on televesion. Jack Bauer bit a man's jugular and then spit it out because that is how much a man he truly is. The show was back in it's splendor. It's got a new feel for it but I like the way that it went in these first two hours. I know a spoiler tomorrow for the season premiere finale and I can't wait to see the events unfold.

What is really cool about the 24 premiere is that it was just that much better to enjoy it after one of the best if not the best Ignite's that we have had. I really mean it. Last week we talked about what we could do step it up and make it even better than what we had been doing. Last semester was highly successful, and last week we all would say was just as good as many Ignite's that we had done last semester. But that's just it. We are a group of people who aren't content with being just as good as we have been. We want to move forward, challenge the youth more, and make our environment just that much more enjoyable and welcoming to the world. Nick delivered his message well, I mean really well. God spoke through him and the students were connecting. We did a really cool "initiative" in which we split up into two huge teams and and everyone actually worked well together. It told me that we have a group of youth who already know how to work together and aren't selfish, there were two teams of 30 moving as one. That's exactly what we are called to do, to be the body of Christ, not just parts. Take the brain for example, it's able to control all of your bodily functions somehow, it's incredible what all your brain can do and supposedly we can only use like 20% of it. But without a body, the brain can't do anything at all. Or look at a guy like Wade Joye. I would say Wade is quite the amazing guy and no doubt he is willing to do whatever God calls him to. I'm not hating on Wade, but what if he tried to run the entire Ignite on his own. If he tried to be the entire band, run lights, run sound, put words on the screen to follow along, then act in a video that he would have to film on his own and then edit, then prepare a talk to give to everyone, be at the welcome table, do a game, and so on. It couldn't work or if he did do it would you want to be a part of something that is being made totally exclusive? Jesus came and picked 12 men to be with him as his "team" so to speak. Even the greatest man ever worked with people.

I'm so happy to have a passion to work with the group at Ignite. They are a challenging bunch, and it's so amazing to see what God does through this group.
