With the mission trip over, I don’t want to keep talking about myself, but yesterday was a pretty big Sunday.
7am-Shaved the travel beard. I hadn’t shaved since before leaving the States and had two months of nastiness to get rid of.
8:15am- Littleton Church of Christ, where I was priviledged to hear ACU’s young preaching prodigy Colin Packer.
12pm- Called my old friend Jeff Cole, only to find out he’s left Colorado for Fuller’s big campus in Pasadena.
2pm- Grandma’s 80th birthday. 3 generations of church of Christ leadership from across Denver showed of to celebrated. Good woman.
5pm- Met up with my old friend Michael Hannegan at Adullam. Had just enough time to shake hands with Hugh Halter and steal some food.
6:30pm- Mike and I arrived at the Castle Rock church of Christ in time to catch the last few minutes of the Angola Team‘s presentation.
7:30pm- Hugged friends and people who had a huge influence on me that I hadn’t seen since High School. Teared up thinking of some really good times.
8:30pm- Heard the story behind my good, dear friends Robert and Teague‘s choices to go to Angola and to adopt to sibling boys from Ethiopia. Prayed together.
10:30pm- Drove Mike to his car and the discussed quandry of remaining loyal to the churches of our youth in a post-denominational America.
Today was a bigger blessing than I could have asked for. I am so thankful for what God is doing in my life right now (although many days it is miserable), and the chances I get to see his work around the world. I am also incredibly grateful to cross paths with those who meant so much to me when I was younger, and see them in dedicated service to our Lord.
