Tomorrow my wife and I take off for Kansas! We're helping our dear friend move back there after her year long hiatus here in St. Louis. We will miss her, but we are also very certain this is whats best for her; so in that, we are happy. Would appreciate a prayer or 2 for her as she starts over, and for us along the way. If you've ever driven from one end of Kansas to the other, you'd know why we need the prayers!
Monday, our summer intern started. As we were talking about his goals, I could see he was worried about how to get his 'summer charges' to see how God wanted them to work together and glorify Him at the same time. (His main goal is to start a youth praise band using 6th & 7th graders.) As we talked, I asked him to tell me how a piano works. Pretty soon, he was making spiritual connections about how the piano represents our life and the life of the church. One key, repeating itself, while maybe in tune, is still not music and after a while quite annoying. Takes us all working together, being stretched, to make a sound that glorifies Him.
Anyway, he spent the next 6 hours at that piano figuring out life lessons it held that he could teach. It was pretty cool, and exactly how God loves to work. Showing us in simple ways the lessons of life that will change us for eternity. Thanks for listening.
