Overnighted in Wheeling, WV...Jacob and I got "done" (hopefully the ministry continues!) with the second week of TFC camp in Alma, Ne Friday morning...drove home...switched cars to rental and picked up Jane and Janelle...drove as far as St Louis Friday night and to here yesterday...five hours to Quakertown and my annual "Korean Kamp"...
So much has happened this summer, indeed in the last two weeks...some fantastic, some stretching, some very painful...
So many hurting people...TFC "lost" a staff member to sudden death during the first week...Ken Massey was a tender warrior for Christ...a great brother...he was an ex-state trooper...we joked about traveling as the "ex con and the ex cop"...but his travel plans were "altered" (from our perspective, but "it is appointed unto all men ONCE to die...")
So many teens I wanted to teen-nap and take home..not that I am anywhere close to a perfect parent..but they live in such hints of hell rather than the dress rehearsal for heaven that family should be...
Through the victories, through the pain, through the question marks of life...there are (more than) 10,000 reasons to thank and praise God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
