Amazing how things are orchestrated.
With an interesting turn of events – we had an absolutely awesome time at the ATF.
We were asked if we had wanted free tickets by our neighbor that works at a publishing company for the event. We said that we would love to go and that if she could, we would like 4 tickets. Done Deal. We had instructions to pick our tickets up at the will call booth. We wait in line, only to find out that there are no tickets reserved for us. I explain our situation and this awesome guy said, “Look I completely trust you, here are these VIP passes because we cannot find your name on this list.” We take the VIP passes, thank him and proceed to our section, 4 rows to the left of the stage. We had awesome seats!
Amazing how things are orchestrated.
The biggest take away from the weekend, “We’re facing an unprecedented time in our history where only 4% of this young generation will be Evangelical believers. I’m not a mathematician, but I know that’s not many. A nation with 4% is a frightening thought. You probably think so, too. Since most people follow Christ before the age of 20, we have a window of 5 to 7 years to turn this thing around. If we don’t do it, think about what our families, our schools, and our churches might look like 50 years from now. That’s not going to happen on our watch. Let’s do something about it. It doesn’t matter how young or old, how hip or uncool, how techno savvy or techno illiterate you are. You have something great from God to share and I know the students that need to hear it.”
Just something to think about…

Your post has inspired me :) We are Catholic but we haven't been very commited to going to church since we've been here in Colorado (pregnancy, deployments etc..) Excuses aside, I know my family can find one hour a week to gather to pray. Thanks for reminding me:)
