One for the kingdom

So, end of week one. It was great. I'm tired, but not as much as I expected. Kids Club was intense. Logan is kind of inner city WV, but it's kind of just the WV culture. The kids are fighters...with their words, with their trust, and sometimes physically. They settled down a bit as the week went on, and they'll soften as the summer goes. Monday two of them had a sing off with gospel music. I liked that. Morgan was my favorite. He is eight, small, and kinda stand offish at first. He had the greatest expressions. The youth participants really stepped out of their comfort zones. We wouldn't have known that they were doing anything out of the ordinary if it hadn't been for the adult leaders telling us. They were stretched, and they did great. Youth were loved, they served, they saw God in new ways. I didn't get to be as involved as I'd like in hearing about how this week changed them, but their leaders can see, and they're the ones who will help them press on when they go home! Time to load some paint...peace.

Sounds like you are having a good time; just take care of yourself, too. You know we worry about you; that's our parents' prerogative. :-)

Love, Mom
