NYC video

Darn. The video didn't turn out so well. Probably good enough, but I try and do the best I can when shooting and editing, so I know I need more shots.

I'm starting to meet a lot of cool people around the city whose religious outlook is surprisingly similar to mine! I now know a couple larger non-denominational youth groups that are getting together to share personal stories and experience the Gospel together. The most amazing thing is that it's all youth-organized, not part of any church!

I'm not sure if this is exactly the territory I want to get into. Part of what makes God such a stabilizing force in one's life is the presence of the tradition, the culture, the architecture, and the knowledge that men and women of the Church have devoted their lives to the Lord over the course of its entire history.

But until there's a sign of some kind, or I encounter another Christian organization that strikes me in the heart as 'THE' right way to worship and devote oneself fully to Jesus Christ, I'm thinking of taking my (borrowed) video camera and doing a little documentation.

I've been wondering about the difference between young Christians on the East Coast, and the teeming masses of the Midwest, Plains, etc. Traveling in the USA, I've never been West of Pittsburgh!!!

The obvious difference I'm thinking, and I'm not sure I want to get into it quite yet- Is political. But if there's a political divide between city and country like the media says, shouldn't shared love for the Lord be able to bridge it?

I'll shoot some clips of the Christian activities I attend in the city this month, (and maybe add in a few shots of some of my friends!) and put up links to them, so anyone reading this can share our joy! It might be cool to start a video clip exchange between Christian youth of the East Coast and whatever's West of Pittsburgh!

I'm wishing I had more multimedia to post up here right now! All this text is probably a little aggravating. But... I've got a new freelance gig, and it's off to work now, so we'll see what I can do about it this weekend!

Next update Sunday at the latest! And video clips coming by the end of the month!
