Signs that I just found my new church home:
1. They meet in an elementary school gym.
2. Their name seems eerily similar to Imago Dei, or at least in the trendy Latin category.
3. A guy was wearing a Vote for Pedro shirt when I walked in the doorway (I happened to be wearing my "I (Heart) Tater Tots" one myself).
4. The sermon included an excerpt from The Matrix (sadly, almost a cliche since I've seen in done a few times before, but whatever).
5. The lead pastor seems like a Christian version of Dwight from NBC's The Office.
6. One of the first people I met was the cutest girl on earth, blue eyed, brunette, named Molly - two years old, of course, but still, I think she liked me.
7. They expressed the desire for a mandolin player during worship.
8. One of the core personalities is Bubna-esque, speaking Portugese and being tall and long-haired and pretty funny.
9. It's not a mile from my house.
10. It's less than forty people presently, full of candles and strange paintings, and was labled by one of the first people I met as "a church for people who don't like church".
So I guess I'm trendy now. It's like I get to do the whole Emergent thing, and I'm not twenty miles from Don Miller's church. It was kinda weird wrapping mic cords again, putting away a sound board and stacking chairs, stuff I haven't done in a church setting for three years. It made me miss the quirky people at the River. Ah, maybe it's not for me. What times are services at Bethlehem Baptist? Sorry I won't catch you guys at Malone's wedding. Just can't swing out, really until Wakefield gets married. Let's plan for everybody to swing down to Omaha in June, deal? Sweet. Heck yes I just said that!

Wouldn't miss Wakefield's for the world. See you in O-Town.
In other news, I made my first trip in about a year and a half to Quizno's yesterday. Got the honey mustard chicken sub, no tomatoes. Pretty good but dang expensive, even with my student discount of $1. Just thought I'd share.
