Freedom

It is late and I am tired, but tonight we had a great night. When at church this past Sunday we were encouraged to go to a youth rally called Freedom. It is a Tuesday night gathering of Christians excited for Christ. We walked in to the old theater that is now the site of the rally, took our place in one of the many sofas lining the aisle, watched a Christian musical performance and listened to a sermon given by the pastor (Nate) who spearheads this gathering.

I have to admit that I was bogged down today and hardly excited to go to a gathering... With a lot of work to do, I did not want to be around other people. Turns out that other people were exactly what I needed. I had the chance to visit with Nate and Davin (another member of the worship team) before the show started about what they did there.



It was energizing to be around excited people. It was also nice to turn give my mind away to worship for a couple hours and then return later to processing what is happening here in Idaho. Back at the house, now, I am on fire to write to loved ones, and so am staying up late to finish letters to friends and my 4 brothers.

An old lesson that never gets too old for me: "Do it anyway."
