Today was a thrill.
OK, so the weird migraine where I can't see out of my left eye very well hasn't been a thrill.
The continued stabbing pain in my face is also not a thrill.
The rest of the list of yuckiness that is too boring to type has also not been a thrill.
But....
I got to teach about how Jesus is the ONLY way. He's the ONLY way to bridge the separation between us and God. He's the ONLY way. And any time I get to teach about that, it's a thrill.
I look at these precious kids and feel such an urgency, such a need to tell them that it is ultimate tragedy to be separated from God. There is only loneliness, deep fear, blackness. Light, music, friends, family, joy, laughter, beauty--it will be gone. Forever.
So I told them again today as I have with so many groups of kids over the years.
It's all about Jesus.
And I prayed.
And I'm still praying.
I don't want one of them to choose against Jesus.

A place I created to collect and share some of my journey as a child of God and a follower of Jesus Christ mostly because I don't get to share nearly enough of it on a daily basis with those I love.
There, peeping above the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up and out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. J.R.R. Tolkien

- I am on the journey of life which right now involves raising 2 boys, being married to my highschool sweetheart (who is still a sweetheart), homeschooling, and teaching whoever will listen. Mostly I am learning what it means to be loved by Jesus and learning to love him back.
