Yesterday was great. We had an awesome day. We started the day off at breakfast with everyone surprisingly awake. I wouldnt have been surprised to find several of them slowly nodding off into they cereal bowl. Everyone was still very excited for what was about to happen.
We had two great meetings yesterday where we looked at Jesus being our King and our Lover. It was great to hear some of these guys articulating why they needed a king and why they needed a lover! So funny. However, our speaker, Jason Mitchell is doing a great job moving through each of these different characteristics of Jesus. Last night we learned about John, the disciple who Jesus loved. John was a drop out, a failure and a deserter. Jesus loves the dropout, the failure and the deserter. There have been times spiritually when we have all been dropouts, failures and deserters. I am axious for what Gpd is going to teach us today.
By far my favorite memory of yesterday was late last night we met to be together and talk with each other, debrief and think about the rest of the week. We talked about what has made past keswick weeks so great. We thought about how we could make this one a memorable one so that three years from now we say, ‘remember when…’ we are working as a group on our relationships with one another. I asked them Gor some practical ways that we can build better relationships with each other this week. Then after we thought about it all the challenge is to actually make it happen starting today! I am proud of our group an love each one of them. I believe that God is going to do some great things with our group. Pray for unity and for each of us to be growing closer with each other and with the Lord.

After teaching this amazing group over the past couple of months, I can truly say, I wish I was there with you…As i travel to Atlanta and Dallas this week, please know that I praying that the Holy Spirit will meet individually with each of the group and knit you tightly into a tapestry of unity and love. I am also praying that ears are open and that the crazy call of God will explode in the hearts of many…And that many will have the courage to respond to the voice and be doers of the word as well…May Jesus the King reign mightily in the hearts of all! God bless and keep the blogging going…It’s a real encouragement! Blessings….
