Alright. I kind of went into last night thinking that it was going to be just a typical, busy, Wednesday night. Then the bomb fell (figuratively). At this time, I'm just reeling back from all of it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you will. It seems like just as soon as we feel like everything is going in the right direction, something seems to happen. Now I know that this is all part of God's ultimate plan, it still scares me just the same. So now I'm really looking for direction for our church. Our church and our youth has been through so much in the last handful of years, yet we still hold on. And I'm certain that, only with God's help, that we'll make it through this as well. So here's the scripture that I'm going to latch on to. And if you are wondering what's going to happen, I encourage you to do the same.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:5-6
We have to remember that God is in total control. He does have a plan for us and our church. Through the darkest times, it seems like God performs his greatest feats. So I trust that He will point us in the direction we need to take. This anchor will still hold.
I wish this post was a lot more upbeat. Sorry. Couldn't help it. It'll all get better, God promises.

Whoa... a bomb fell??? Just kidding man, I know what you mean.I sincerely think that was a really good verse for it. And to be absolutely blunt, I think you're doing a good job of keeping the youth in the right direction. (Something 'Mr.A.D.D.' probably couldn't do!) And another thing... don't lose your joy of doing this... that's all the punk (satan) wants really... because then, it only gets worse and worse. Man, I can really ramble when I want to!
Sincerely,
