Odds and ends

Just a few random things from my weekend.

I went hiking with some of the youth yesterday and it was a blast. The weather was warm and sunny, but there was still ice all over the falls.

The kids, myself included, climbed all over the rocks and ended up about half of a mile downstream. Which, of course, meant that we had to hike back upstream to get back to the trail.

What a great bunch of people in our student ministry, students and leaders alike. There really is no shortage of love in the J3Gen group.

Friday night was really cool. We did an exercise to get ourselves thinking about how well we love. In short, we wrote our names down and put them in the shoeboxes of those people that we know love us. It was very eye-opening to find out just who feels loved by us. The exercise has already borne fruit in some conversations and I look forward to hearing more on it in the near future.

The Walk with Jesus Weekend is coming up and will be awesome. There is a big crowd going and we all look forward to hearing world-renowned speaker Dave Cross bring the word. Pray that God falls on us all and changes hearts this weekend.

Finally, I saw this video today and cracked up. It's about a Starbuck's Church. I send it out to someone (you know who you are) that would love to join this church and would probably be sitting on the front row every Sunday.

I will now gloat just a bit. I'm off work all week. Just some time to relax and recharge. I have no plans other than a trip to see Spenarah on Tuesday. If I can do anything for any of you this week, consider me available. I'm easy to reach.

Have a great Monday.
