Chaos for Jesus
We had no shortage of activity at our church last night. The last Wednesday of each month is designated “Family Night.” Our “FN” last night consisted of:
1. Yours (aka “The Old Guy”) truly grilling hamburgers and hotdogs for over 100 folks.
2. The Via de Cristo (http://www.hofvdc.org/) folks setting up shop inside our building for their Fall Women’s session. This would include all that is needed for sleeping, eating, bathing, studying, and praying for both the candidates and the workers for Thursday through Sunday afternoon.
3. Our annual “Trunk or Treat.” “ToT” keeps getting bigger every year. This year’s version included a number of kids from a poorer / crime ridden area of Cocoa. They were brought over in our church bus courtesy of some outstanding “ministry on the ground” efforts by a number of our members that our being very missional in their walk for the Lord.
There were many times when it seemed that all 3 activities were running into each other. Chaos if you will but you know what? I’ll take Chaos for Jesus over dull, ordered, and dead any day of the week.
Happy Thursday.

I love it when we get "busy" for Jesus...and use our buildings instead of preserving them...
Sure wish I lived close enough to be at your church.
