Prestonwood: the mega experience
Well, last night we went to Prestonwood Baptist Church to see their 2003 Dallas Christmas celebration.
I am a mixed bag of feelings on the entire event, mostly because I have reservations about mega-churches. Let’s put it this way: rougly 1,000 volunteers contributed time and effort to this. There was a nearly full orchestra, Santa in a rocketship, Frosty the Snowman on roller blades, a “five year old” making a slightly misogynistic joke about her mom’s cooking abilities, a flying cowboy in a white suit, a barroom brawl, and the complete story of Jesus, from birth to resurrection (with lasers!).
I’ve still got to ruminate a bit more on the whole experience. Right now I’m in class for automated testing, just like I’ve been every Saturday for a while. The classes are good, but it’s a time consuming affair.
Gotta run and blow up another test.
