Day 24

I had a random day today. I spent most of day trying to focus on God. To realign my thinking. Read some of Pastor Bill's book "The Supernatural Power of the Transformed Mind". Which was very helpful. At around 6:00pm I was checking facebook and I saw my friend Doug Addison post that he was in NYC and going to be filming at TBN studios starting at 7:00pm. I used to work with Doug and his wife Linda when I lived in LA over 6 years ago. He is this amazing Prophetic Evangelist who God is using in amazing new ways. One of the ways is prophetic tattoo interpretation. Which is two if my favorite things the prophetic and tattoos!! :)

Anyways, I have never really seen a TBN show so I did not know what to expect. Luckily the studio was pretty close to my apartment and I was able to get ready and be there before the show started. Then all of a sudden Carmen came onto the stage. If you who don't know who Carmen is... well you are young, and also thanks for reading. I grew on watching and listening to Carmen. He is a Christian music artist with such songs/videos as Radically Saved, the Champion, Satan Bite the Dust, and of course Witches Invitation. I used to love watching the VHS tapes of his concerts and music videos. Again, young people a VHS tape is what movies used to be on before DVD's.

It started off a little awkward. Because they are taping the show at the beginning everyone has to stand the clap for what seemed like a good 5 min. Then Carmen sang a few songs to start the show. Doug was the first guess and Carmen introduced him as the Tattoo Prophet. When Doug came onto the stage, I don't think people where expecting him to look... well like Rod Stewart. Doug did great as he talked about what tattoo interpretation looked like and how it has opened up doors to people who normally would not be opened.

There were some great other guess as well. There was this german lady named Rose Marie Hackenberg who had written a book about her life from prostitution, drug and alcohol abuse to her meeting Jesus. She came onto the stage looking so proper and polished but let me tell you she had a fire in her that had that place on its feet. There was also these 2 guys who started a church in Deer Park, Long Island called Sound of Heaven ... oh did I mention that there are professional wrestlers. Their ministry sounded just as unique as Doug's.

Afterwards I got to walk and chat with Doug a little. It was really good to see him.

I love fun randomness with God!
