Wednesday insight

No pictures tonight ... I would like to focus more on actions and grace for this blog.
During this week, our youth are praying with their groups and encouraging their kids to pray. Every day, Shirley thanks God for this VBS, how awesome it is, and how much she looks forward to it every year.
Kids are bringing friends because they want them to experience this VBS and our youth.
This evening, after the service, our group gathered in a circle, put our hands on the shoulders of the person next to us, and prayed for the person to the left of us. We laughed, we rejoiced, we praised ... it was one of the most moving Appalachia experiences for me.
Our youth and leaders are devising a plan to get some of the VBS youth to spend tomorrow evening with us.
Many of them chose to spend this afternoon with some of the kids from VBS, fishing and swimming.
Tomorrow, they are choosing to do the same thing.
I preached tonight - and every one of our youth showed me gracious support.
This is what missions is all about - loving others as God has so loved us.
Keep praying!
