The night before school starts back....

It is hard to believe I have not written on this for 8 months. It's also impossible for me to say all that has happened, and I wonder if anyone reads this anyway. We recently returned from a great beach retreat where our students were challenged to reach out to those who need Christ, pray for them, and speak to them, a 3 day challenge. I am praying tonight that God will use the 70+ students who accepted this challenge to help reach people for him and change their schools.
This summer our theme was THE IDENTITY PROJECT as we tried to help students discover who they are in Christ by focusing on the fruits of the spirit. If you are reading this, how are you doing in those areas....love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self control, and one other one I can't think of...it's late as I write....tomorrow I have a daughter that starts 10th grade, one that starts 3rd grade, and one who has already begun her sophomore year of college. WHERE does the time go? Will you pray for my mother, Frances? She is not doing well and it's hard to watch her these days. I know God is in control, He has been teaching me that all year long. God is at work in my life, teaching me so much these last hot days of summer. Life is precious....our daughter Alana's pastor's wife, Tammy Litton in Mobile, Alabama was killed in a car accident this week, and she was our age. Every day is a gift, but we treat each day as if we deserve to live it. If you are reading this, stop and thank God for the people he has placed in your life, because believe me, they will not always be there. It's hard to say goodbye....
Keep Believing!
