So many things are at the launching point…
The children are nestled all snug in their beds, alarm clocks set for BJWU (before Jesus wakes up) so they can join me ’round the table for some family Bible time before school. That’s one of the things that I am most looking forward to about the start of another school year. I love the fact that we start our days together, in God’s word. I hope that God uses that time to shape our hearts.
Levi is a senior. Yeah…3 kids in high school, 3 in middle school this year. We’ve pretty much got a youth group in our house. I am excited and hopeful especially for Levi. I think this could be a great year for him. He is growing into a fine young man, with lots of promise and potential. I hope that he shines this year.
Youth ministry is about to kick in to full-swing at Calvary. We have meetings for parents and students this week for both middle school and high school. We have a lot of work to do–building teams, personal invites to students…I can hardly wait!
There’s a crisp feeling in the air tonight. It’s actually felt like football season for a couple of weeks now. While no one really cares about the NFL preseason, our fantasy football league draft was tonight. I wasn’t even paying attention, so the auto-draft feature kicked in. I had the first pick, which means that Adrian Peterson is a proud member of the Houserville Hamsters.
Penn State students have returned to town. There’s no food left on the shelves of the grocery stores, Walmart is stripped of all housewares, and you have to exercise great caution when driving downtown lest you run over a wandering freshman. On the upside, attendance at midtown doubled yesterday! Yep, there are lots of college students who want to worship Jesus.
PSU football coach Bill O’Brien stopped by the Blue Band camp the other day. Check this out.
