I often spend Tuesday night listening to a band and a speaker. Being with a community that spends time singing and learning together is a natural rhythm in my week. But last night was a bit different.
The lesson by Patric included a game of human checkers and wrapping people in tinfoil. The band was JayJ Mattot and Dan Garza who inspired howling by the children during the songs and concluded with all of the kids holding hands and swaying to the music. They were delighted to meet the band and get thier autographs on posters.
At the end of the night I stepped outside and watched the sunset for a moment before going off to a leadership meeting. It was a good Tuesday night. I am grateful and humbled to be a part of a community that gives itself for the sake of these children.
Grace and peace to you.

Uncle Mac, you will be pleased to know that Chip still managed to throw you under the bus this week at TNL even while you weren't there. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if camp is going really well thus far. Know that you are all loved, and that your hard work and love can be felt even though the medium of this blog. We will keep praying for you all, and for each of the kids whose lives you are impacting.
