World changers

As expected, yesterday was anything but humdrum! Although exhausting, the day was as fulfilling as you can get! Morning church service was very good. Our pastor is teaching on spiritual disciplines. This message focused on balance... not going to the "extreme" to prove yourself spiritual... abusing the body to prove the mind is superior. Hard to explain unless you have heard his previous teaching on the mind-body split (Plato), but it was excellent. THEN the baseball frenzy began. We left church and went straight to the field for 3 hours of parading in, hearing opening day speeches, playing a game, and having team pictures taken. Then directly back to church for the SFC kickoff rally. Let me stop here and tell you that God moved in a profound way during this service. The worship was extremely powerful, and the message that Jason McAllister preached about becoming "world changers" and saving our children had most everyone in the building in tears. Prayer at the altar after the message was deep and emotional and passionate. The love of Jesus is beyond description... Anyway, after service, we had our good friends the Loseby's over to our place for pizza and fellowship. I truly appreciate their friendship! Sure wish we lived closer to one another. Needless to say, it was a late night, and the boys didn't get to bed until 11pm (on a school night!). So they slept in this morning, and mom brought them to school. But our breakfast conversation was so wonderful, focusing on the events of the evening before. I have determined that my children will have a Godly heritage to look back on, and will not be able to deny that mom and dad gave them a solid Christian foundation while growing up. "Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it."
