God is good? all the time! And all the time? God is good!

Yesterday, the Mississippi Missionaries had several "reunions" of sorts! First of all, Barb, Ron and Tim shared the proclamation of the preached word with me. They offered their awakenings, insights and epiphanies to the glory of God before the congregation. Each spoke with heartfelt conviction and passion.

Barb spoke about God's absolute ability to work through human error to bring about a miracle. And that we find our deepest joy when we help each other. Tim reflected that we can participate in God's mission wherever we find ourselves, whether we are 90 feet or 900 miles from Trinity. Distance doesn't matter. Ron shared with us each of us belongs to the body of Christ and therefore we are called to serve our sisters and brothers in Christ.

Between the 8am and 10 am services, The Mississippi Missionaries hosted a forum on the work-trip. Approximately 75 people attended. A powerpoint presentation was shown highlighting the devastation of the area. There was good natured ribbing and compassionate sharing. Twenty-three people indicated interest in returning to Christus Victor in January 2007! About half went on our first trip!

The unforgettable moment of yesterday happened when I couldn't find my sermon! I praised God to the heavens when I found it. Hallelujah!

The Sweets, Nancy and Bill, open their hearts and home to the Mississippi Missionaries for a delectable brunch. The food was great and the company was fabulous. We shared pictures and traded anedoctal stories. It was a special time.
