As I'm sitting here getting ready for our service in the morning, I began to play some old music from our college chorale. (Yes, Face to Face, Waymaker, Shine de Light and many others were moved from the old cassettes to my computer!!!) While this music was playing I began to see all the faces that were so present in my life at that time. I remember very clearly some things that happened in those wonderful years. I remember our first talent show and the flight of the terydactels, the chapel services and sitting out at the dorm. So many people from so many different backgrounds converging in one place with a desire to serve the Lord. Thankfully, through social media, we have been able to reconnect with so many. If you were at Kent Christian College from 88-92, you will never know what you all meant to me and my history and legacy!

Now, as we lead a great congregation of believers in a great community that needs this congregation, I am reminded that we are all a part of the kingdom of God. No matter how much time passes, how much we age or how much life changes, we were knit together and are still knit together all these years later by the Spirit of the Lord. That same Spirit has now led all of us to unite with others, and what we have done is expand the kingdom of God. So, wherever you are tomorrow, we will be there in spirit and the kingdom will advance.

I find it an honor to be accepted by the Lord in His army. I have been chosen by the grace of the Creator to serve on a kingdom team that is vast and powerful! Whenever I feel alone, I just remember those faces that were knot to my spirit so long ago and I am ready to march once again. I pray and expect that Christ's kingdom will have a powerful Sunday tomorrow!!!!
