Make a Joyful Noise

For those of you who were in the CBC youth groups during the years between 1981-1999, I had a dream last night that included many of you. So many faces. It involved one of my favorite aspects of youth group (besides Tremendous Tuesdays) and that was music!

Getting fifty, eighty, one hundred teenagers to lift their voices in praise could be a daunting task, but when accomplished, by the grace, mercy, and power of the God, it was a most amazing thing. More amazing than the adults. It was something that lifted my spirit to another level.

I was allowed to visit there again last night, not back in the day but back with your children. Many of you have been posting pictures of camp pictures, VBS pictures, and other summer Christian kid activities your children are enjoying that you enjoyed as well. What a blessing to see you pass these things on to the next generation.

My heart sings with joy and is lifted in the same way it was lifted so many years ago. Thank you for blessing your children. Thank you for blessing those of us who had small parts in watching you grow.
