WOW! Talk about a CRAZY day. We had 11 National Merit students in today - we had been planning on 10, which would have been crazy anyway, but we actually ended up having another student who called this morning and said that he was coming by. So, that certainly made our days exciting. It was really a lot of fun getting a chance to meet a whole bunch of students and it was neat as well because several of the students were very interested in spiritual things. I was certainly glad that I had a chance to spend a bit of extra time with Jesus this morning before work, or things might have been even more fun. God once again is faithful!

On other fun news, I got to spend some time at Key Man’s Friday and Saturday of last week. God certainly taught me a lot at the main sessions, but as usual, the best time was hanging out with these guys who have been walking with God for far longer than I have been alive! I loved Sunday at church as the emphasis was on missions - it was great to hear quite a bit from Alex Thompson and it was so neat to hear what Ronnie had to say about missions. Then, Beyond Gates of Splendor in the evening wrapped up a great day of thinking globally.

In the evening I got to hang out with some Monday night Impact folks and then got to spend some time with Kelsey, sharing things that God had taught me at Key Man’s and hearing some of the things that she has been learning recently. That was a whole lot of fun to get some good quality time with her!
