Old School

I just finished watching the JEMS Mt. Hermon video presentation.  Who would have thought the young radicals of the 70s are now old school?

Pastor Wayne gave a good message on the permanence of God in times of crisis.  I just notice his style is now considered old school, not reading directly from a script.  The difference being between the nisei was that the opening joke was missing.

Wes Terasaki looked a bit older, voice remains the same, but the songs are no longer apart of the Asian American church.  At least down in So Cal.

There is a concern about the nisei generation passing on with their stories, but now I'm worrying about our generation.  After last year's film "Buddhahead Breakfast Club" Im realizing we are facing the same issue.  Even with all our technology, we are still not documenting the stories of our generation from our perspective.  no offense to my offspring, but that generation view on life is a little scary.  And I'm reminded that I'm old.  And I agree.  But what is wrong with that?

What kicked this off?  I found out last night Rod Yee passed away in April.  He is our generation.  I hope his life story, his story of ministry and what drove him is preserved.  It would be presumptuous of me to think I am one of the few wanting to document lives.  But it is causing sleepless nights.
