Meeting old friends for the first time

I am writing from a hotel in Palm Desert, CA. Yesterday and again later today I meet with youth pastors for coffee or lunch. 5 stops yesterday at churches and it's a repeated cycle of story, life and connection to others through student ministry.

It's like meeting someone you have known your whole life, but actually it's the first time you have ever seen them. One of my favorite parts of being a Christian (part of the body of Christ Worldwide) is these meetings. We share such a rich history because we share the burden of teaching youth, serving in the local church and trying to follow Jesus ourselves.

Anyway, it's cool! Thanks Jesse & Joe at Desert Chapel; Steve, Cameron and Ashley at Desert Springs for a great day of life together. I pray God's direction for your lives and ministry with kids. It's makes a HUGE difference.
