The theme of the weekend is tired and traffic; I’ve seen plenty of both. But I’ve also seen a lot of love and grace.
6,300 of us met up again in the morning. Beth Moore took a special offering for the Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims, and her term “hilarity of giving” was an understatement.
Beth talked about us as a culture of people not willing to yield. She encouraged us to be with people when we are with people instead of buried in an electronic gadget. She pointed out that us stepping back can allow others to use their gifts, that God doesn’t value security and sameness the way we do, and that we often have to hold strong about people who think they know God’s will for us. I loved that she pointed out that there are nine times more “go’s” in the Bible than “stops” – our God isn’t the God of don’ts.
Also enjoyed birthday brownies and a great visit with G&G before the long trip homeward…
