I wish I could get inside Tate's head. He woke up this morning and said, "Dad, are we going to the church today?" I answered him, "No, not today". Then I saw a huge disappointed look on his face. Now, I'm sure he will be just fine once our day gets started, but for a moment he was looking forward to being in God's house. I say, mission accomplished! I remember when I was his age, and most of my memories revolved around going to church. I don't regret that at all. It is part of my heritage. It is the foundation to my life.
My idea of our little summer tour was mostly to have some time with the boys, "away from the norm", and hopefully be able to show them another side of God's Kingdom and ministry. We are finding out that everyone, everywhere is not the same. All churches are different in some way. It doesn't matter where we are or how many show up to hear us play. All that matters is that we find God's presence and help lead others to Him. Every person counts, they have a soul. Everyone needs God in their lives. And regardless of a person may be in their relationship with Christ, there needs to be a solid foundation. I've looked forward to this summer with the boys because I knew it would be a time we could begin a new foundation for the plans that God wants to build in our lives. It is an exciting time!
