The Revolve Tour
To all the ladies that went to Revolve: It was awesome! The speakers were uplifting, the drama was amazing... And HN is MY BFF! I can't wait 'til next year. Don't forget what you learned. Treasure or target... which one are you? See you all Saturday. We are thanking God in advance for a wonderful year in Higher Ground.

Picnics and such.
So, we went to fellowship with the church yesterday afternoon after service.
Great time, and we had tons of fun. We had Sharpie, whose folks were off dropping her siblings at school, serving as our Navigator.
Not the smartest move.
Sharpie took us over, under, around, everywhere... before we finally got to the park. It was quite funny, but hey, we didn't know where we were, and we would not have found it without her.
Well, when we got there, Babetta asked that we drive and get some salad as our contribution. So, we turn out of the park, make a left on Bishop, and find ourselves on Euclid, literally almost visible from Regal!
The food was good, time with the church family even better. The impromptu balloon fight had Babetta and I harboring decidedly unChristian thoughts of revenge.
The highlight of my day was playing wiffle ball with my youth and stealing into third base Pete Rose-style. I do feel the pain now, but who cares?

His Favorite Song of All
Luke 15:4-7
I am extremely happy to say that one of my favorite people has made a very important decision, a decision that literally brings tear of joy to my eyes.
Stephen made the decision to accept Christ in his life!!!
It's the best call I have received in a while.
We have been praying for Stephen, and the Lord saw it fit to prepare his heart. Praise God!!!
In the end, it's all about moments like this. It's all about developing hearts already in pursuit of God while simultaneously being a rendezvous point for our young people just starting the journey.
Please join us in praying for our new brother. Stephen, words cannot express how proud I am of you. You are an inspiration to me.
I wanna dedicate the paraphrased lyrics of the song below to Stephen. It is one of my favorites.
He loves to hear the wind sing
As it whistles through the pines on mountain peaks
He loves to hear the raindrops
As they splash to the ground in a magic melody
He smiles in sweet approval
As the waves crash to the rocks in harmony
Creation joins in unity to sing in majestic symphonies
But His favorite song of all
Is the song of the redeemed
When lost sinners now made clean
Lift their voices loud and strong
When those purchased by His blood
Lift to Him a song of love
Nothing more He'd rather hear
Nor so pleasing to His ear
As His favorite song of all
He loves to hear the angels as they sing
"Holy, holy is the Lamb"
(Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb)
Heaven's choirs sing in harmony
Lift up praises to the great "I Am"
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
But He lifts His hands for silence
When the weakest saved by grace begins to sing
And a million angels listen as a newborn soul sings
"I have been redeemed"
It's not just melodies and harmonies
that catches His attention
It's not clever lines and phrases
that cause Him to stop and listen
But when any heart set free
Washed and bought by Calvary begins to sing
Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

encore
I would LOVE to see an encore presentation of all you have learned because I missed it all :-(
I was in the nursery on Sunday and I am happy that by being there, sooo many parents got to enjoy and see and hear the gospel (there were ALOT of babies on Sunday!) but I would really love to see what you learned so anytime you want to do it again I will be your audience!

YWAM
Gotta say YWAM was a blast!. I had so much fun I was beginning to forget my age!
All in all, it was a great idea to have them. They were literally young people on a mission, and I was proud to make their acquaintance.
Anyhoo, seeing my young people dance to Mary, Mary was refreshing. All three mini-performances were phenomenal, and were made more unique by the fact that the routines were learned in less than 48 hours. Kudos to the teachers and the students.
I was looking up some stuff on YWAM. They are truly a global institution! There are even bases in Nigeria (check 'em out at www.ywam-nigeria.org. Truly, truly awesome!
And, Dave M. looks great in purple!
