It has been a long but awesome week.

I was formally introduced to the congregation and charged with leading the youth ministry last Sunday. The elders placed hands on us, prayed for me, and sent me into the fields. It was a humbling and exciting moment for me.

While in the office this week, I was again struck with how awesome my job is. Not only do I get to hang-out with students, not only do I get to tell them about my Savior, and not only do I get to walk with them through their teenage years but I get paid to study the Bible. I have been planning on teaching 1 Corinthians this summer so I have loved living in and with this letter over the past 2 months. This week’s time in the Word was just wonderful! Praise God!

I have also been reading Practicing the Presence of God by Bro. Lawrence and God is Here, a modern-day commentary on Bro. Lawrence. This is now the fourth time that I have read PtPoG and I am overwhelmed with how much this little book, written 400 years ago, speaks to me. Good stuff.

One of my jobs this week was to change the church sign out front of our church. I thought, “If I’m going to do this, I want to do something that is different from your typical church sign.” So…

Other events this week included buying tickets to Dave Matthews Band in August, getting a new desk for my home office, and a trip to the movies with my teens to see Cars. A fun time was had by all.

Well folks, that was my week in review. I hope everyone has a blessed week.

Peace.
