About that....

About the picture at the right: I am not a stalker. If you don't know who Joel Houston is, here goes... he is the lead singer/songwriter for a Christian Praise group called Hillsong United. Their target is mainly youth. They come out of Hillsong Church in Sydney. Hillsong church has birthed many beautiful worship songs like "Shout to the Lord", "I give You my heart", "Mighty to save", etc.

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Australia was church on Sunday. We could not actually get to Hillsong's main campus as it was too far away from where we were staying. We decided to go to their City Campus. We hopped on a bus and it took us right to the church's door.

We get inside the sanctuary of the church and I'm just looking around, checking things out. All of a sudden I elbowed my friend, "No flipping way! It's Joel Houston!!!" My friend, however was not completely convinced at first. "I'm serious! It's Joel Houston. Let's get a picture." She does the talking. While I feel fairly free writing about things, when it comes to talking to famous people I can't do it. (I met the lead singer of The Clash, Mick Jones, and I completely froze with thoughts of 'we're not worthy' running through my head) Anyhow, we asked Joel Houston if he would take a picture with us and he graciously agreed.

If you are wondering what happened to my friend... well let's just say that she was ruthlessly attacked by wild kangaroos and wallabies before the shot was taken! In truth, I just cropped it because I thought that it was a good picture of me (and Joel Houston of course)! Hey, I'm nothing if not real!~!

Love to you all out there, Muffinhound
