Oh Good... Oh No!

Well the last few days have had some exciting circumstances.  My Kids have been praying for snow since Christmas.  They assumed that since it was Christmas time that it would snow.  I mean half of the Christmas songs they would sing had to do with snow... so naturally they think Christmas has to have snow.

So they have been praying for snow for weeks.  Being the faith believing dad that I am, I've been trying to tell them that just because they pray for it doesn't mean that they are going to get it. And we don't always get snow... ya know, just trying to help God out...

But yesterday we got some cool news... Winter Mix was coming our way.  It was cool to hear my kids talk about the possibility of snow... and honestly I'm a little kid too... I love it when it snows.

So we heard of snow - and hear it was coming. 

That was the OH GOOD...
Now the OH NO!

So last night was to start a new series at THRIVE... our student ministry service.
Well we didn't want students driving here and then having to drive home in those conditions...
so we had to cancel the evening...

OH NO... how do you let 150 students know that there is no THRIVE?

Leave it up to text messages, emails, and small group leaders... and with much success - the word got out and the evening was ok...

OH GOOD - It works... connecting I mean... it's amazing how well word can spread.

Here is the cool part - students have an amazing ability to network and communicate... and so does God... he wants us to communicate, network, develop relationships - they are important to him.

So enjoy the snow... stay warm and stay in touch!

We'll see you next week!
