cool stuff on a hot day

It was awesome again to see all those kids all over the church property learning together, laughing, and (hopefully) making strong commitments to God. Lots of those families are new to us, and I am hoping that some of them partner up with us to followJesus. Way to go Rick and Alicia and that huge, wonderful team of volunteers. They show up cheerfully in the blazing heat to make a difference in the life of sports minded kids.

I also loved sitting in on (6 minutes of) Adam Ritter's sermon. He is becoming a real man of God and I love the prospect of partnering up with him to affect lives for eternity through our student ministries and Gettysburg Master's Commission. He's the real deal and an anointed communicator. I love that awesome youth ministry these days!

I personally have so much to learn about leadership. Recently I have become painfully aware at how our ability to affect our counties with the gospel is so hampered by my smallness. Please pray that God will open my mind and teach me so much more about leading people to their Creator-God.

thank you God

I had a breakthrough today for which I am very thankful to God. It was less difficult to put on joy today than it has been and I want to take time to appreciate that. I also want to thank God for a great time with my family on vacation this week, for a 4 wonderful kids and an incredible wife.

This evening, I am praying about the possibility of new leadership getting involved in the recording studion, and reclaiming lost ground in that ministry. I am asking God for help to get an addition built on our house, and for blessing and protection for my son away at Student Council Leadership Camp.

Thanks for praying my friends! I love you guys.
