Hump day gone

So yesterday was an interesting hump day for sure. It was payday for me at the BGH so that always adds a little sunshine to the day. I spent some time driving around dropping off calendars, visiting with administrators at the schools I was giving the calendars to and even visiting with a few students from the church at a few of the campuses. It's always interesting that if you show up with a gift in your hand, or are making some sort of contribution they listen to you. A school that I have never been able to get a conversation in with listened to me as I pitched my bullying presentations to them. Funny how that works.
That got me thinking, what way can we do that for people so we can have an audience with them and tell them about the Gospel and invite them to church? I'm working on that along with some others whom I have confided in.
Last night we had a little bit smaller group than I am used to at youth, but we had a great time. We had one extra visitor with us. It seems that we have a few mice in our youth house. One appeared to Tara and Kyle as they were opening up the youth house, and another showed up as I was giving teh lesson. I heard a screech and saw people turn pail as it apparently started accross the kitchen floor. WE never found him, but he's in there somewhere. It's funny how many people are afraid of mice and roaches, look at the size differential. Last night when one of the kids spotted the mouse our largest kid Brad, was on top of his chair when I turned back around.
It's outreach time at Freedom and there's no way I can sit around any longer and just do the reaching. It's time for a challenge and I am working on that as we speak. So pray for us as we endeavor to start growing God's church there on 207!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
