Brian Heasley is the infamous 24-7 Prayer man in Ibiza. I appreciate how honestly and hilariously he blogs about following Jesus in Europe. He’s originally from the UK, but now he walks out a life of prayer, community, and creative mission in Europe’s wildest party isle. You can read about 24-7 Prayer Ibiza here.
Brian just returned from speaking at a conference in D.C. called Awaken the Dawn. The line-up included other outstanding folks like Heidi Baker (Iris Ministries), Lou Engle (JHOP + The Cause), and Allen Hood (IHOP). (I would’ve really liked to go, if I hadn’t been on the left coast.) Now that he’s back, Brian’s just posted a quick list of his reflections on America. His list is great stuff.
Here are 8 of my favorites:
+ It’s big
+ You could get fat living there
+ Not many people walk anywhere
+ JFK airport is crap
+ There is a hunger for God
+ We have lots of generalisations about America, many of which are wrong
+ Venison in lasagne works
+ Don’t mention the war
Lol, don’t mention the war.
Oh Jenelle, I wish you were in my international politics class, if only to discuss things with you, of which I have so many questions.
It is really tough to change backgrounds. Believe me, I spent about 30 minutes trying to find one today, and theyr’e all too dark. You should email me a good (light) photo for it. Or some art.
Death Cab’s Transatlanticism is a really true song I think.
“The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row, it seems farther than ever before, and I need you so much closer…”
I miss you Nelly. Maybe we can meet in Frisco or Georgia in May. Maybe you can come to the granola PacNW this summer. Spring is coming, don’t lose hope.
love
I am glad you like lists, ”ill do some more.
Cari,
That “Transatlanticism” song is one of my favorites. It has been the soundtrack of shoddy movies I’ve made. I miss you, too. I’m holding out for spring.
Brian,
Please make me s’more lists. I do enjoy them so. cheers.
Excellent stuff Jenelle. “Don’t mention the war” hahaha
