Dude. This May 2008 A.D. has just kept on giving. It's like the month that overtook its neighbors April and June both. I think I've put over ten-thousand miles on my "new to me" Chevy Impala. We've been to El Paso, Lubbock, Abilene, Rockdale and all over Austin. FYI it is six hundred miles from Hutto to El Paso - one way.
May is a month of graduations you know. Between family, former youth group students, and the homeschool community, Dede and I get an extra dose of blessings. We attended a wedding and a deacon ordination in April, before May even began. There was a revival meeting in Rockdale; three National Day of Prayer events, Police Chaplain training and a Discipleship Seminar. There were also the homeschool events of a blessing dinner, an athletic banquet, the formal dinner/dance and graduation. The actual dates are just a blur now, but the memories will last forever.
The blessing is seeing the smiling faces of teenagers, former and active duty. They're making their way in life, getting married, graduating, working hard and serving the Lord. Seeing the faithfulness and dedication is awesome. Seeing the smiles and hearing the stories first hand is most excellent.
A real highlight came for me tonight. Several years ago a young teenager asked permission to lead worship at our youth service on Saturday night, we called it TWiST (Teens Worshipping in Spirit & Truth). That small beginning is still growing and strengthening Christ' church. While TWiST is no more, Tyler Murphy and Kevin Gibbs are still serving whole heartedly. They continue pointing young people to Christ, the glory of God, and doing it very well.
Tonight they held a Release Party for their new CD, Speechless, which was really another great worship service; it was very clear that Christ is the King of Price Hill. You can check them out on myspace or facebook.
