"This is the day of Jubilee!!"

I just got back from the AR jubilee. it was awesome. there wasnt as many people, but there was still good representation from all of the COGs. i cannot begin to explain how good it was. i mean...every meeting people say that. but it was something about this meeting that was just "umph". you know? the messages were truly on a more mature level. as were the testimonies. i did buy some of the tapes. and im sure your local tape ministry will either have the tapes or can request them. on the last night we all gathered at kevin and sharonda's house (which is quickly becoming "da spot"!...do they know that?) for games. ok, so if you remember playing the question game at lana's house..imagine that with about 25-30 people PLUS the sharon saints (who are hilarious by themselves) PLUS bro. neal and bro. tierre. CRAZY! and then we played not one but two rounds. TWO rounds of the question game. it was a long night. i think we left there about 3am ish. oh well, it was definitely worth it.

in other news, school has started. actually it started last week. im enjoying it. im teaching 3rd this year instead of 2nd. i requested to be moved (not b/c of the kids, though.) i must say it's been a nice change. i luv my partner teachers. they're quick and smart (those of yall who know me, will understand that comment.) so, im satisfied.

we are a blessed people, as pastor jones preached on. truly. :)

Well. I didnt make game night, but I WAS able to drive 300 miles back the next morning! :)

Hey - it was truly an awesome meeting, and I still say it was like an 20-somethings or 30-somethings meeting. It was nice to have attention paid to our demographic for once - its not like we know everything. We dont have it all figured out, and even though we are older and mature enough to mentor the "young people," I often feel like some things we need to hear about - some of out insecurities - they get lost in the shuffle. Not that that's bad, because God knows the need at all times, and meets it. It was just very special that He saw fit this time to carve out a less "teenager-y" theme, and talk to young adults.
