This looks like just a crappy webcam photo from the back of a room with lots of people in it. And that it is. But it’s also an awesome picture.
This weekend is the MD/DC Fall Retreat. I have to admit that I usually think that planned worship times that are planned to not have a planned end time are a little hokey. But they always end up great.
At the beginning of this one I got a call from one of the students who wasn’t able to come this weekend. This student struggles with some pretty heinous depression and had gone to the hospital because of how bad it was tonight. I promised to pray for him (and did), and then shared it with the other students from his school then we (myself and the students from his school) had the idea of having all 250+ of us pray for him.
We did.
They did.
It was great.
This is a picture of about a quarter of the room – the prayer warriors of DC/MD Cru! Aren’t they beautiful?
Can you pray for him too? Thanks.
For as much time as I spend on here, you’d think I’d update my own blog pretty often. Wrong.
I’d love to. One of my goals for the year was to post something of substance on here every other day. Didn’t happen. Not even close.
Since August 27th, huh? I mean, “Ride the Snake” doesn’t really do anything to update you on me does it? Other than the fact that I love that sketch.
The semester has started crazy, good and crazygood. It’s also been enormously hard. I’ve been working mostly at American University and have been loving working with the three guys that God has put in my path so far as well as leading a small group discussion on some of the less “fluffy” teachings of Jesus – “Eat my flesh and drink my blood if you want to go to Heaven.” (And that was just the first week.)
We’ve had fall retreat and I’ve been working on websites (hosting and designing). I am still planning on voting for Obama.
I’ve been twittering a ton and perhaps that will help me think of what I should update you on (I just want to point out that I am at 600 “tweets” even)…
That’s a decent bullet-point summary of the last few weeks. I have also been reading Star Wars novels and I am not ashamed. Okay maybe I am a little.
This week I am taking a personal retreat and getting alone with God for 5 days. Me in a house/cabin alone – 5 days. Not a vacation, a retreat. Pray for me that it will go well and that I will hear pretty powerfully from God.
