Absolutely crazy, insane four week run.  It is now, March, well almost April and the insanity is just heating up.  I have been on the campground, both in Alabama and Northern California, with over three hundred believers who were seeking God's healing and restoration in their lives.  I witnessed chains of guilt, shame, addiction, apathy, hurt, abuse, and more break off the hearts and minds of men and women.  I am witnessing marriages being restored, as well as marriages end.  I am seeing young men who have finished their Teen Challenge program pursue ministry as well as those who have chosen to go back to their former life.  So much joy and sadness in the lives of those all around us.  The truth is, however, that healing and new life is there for all.  Some choose to go back towards the pain of unhealthy behavior and others choose to live in freedom.  Choose wisely....

In the past two weeks, we have hosted two hundred people for a Seder (Passover) Meal led by my friend Mike Maher.  Incredible!  So many of our GCC friends served so graciously as we provided an atmosphere of worship and learning.  Tres Dias was, well, .... INCREDIBLE!  Now back to the normal craziness of five boys, a church, friends, life, ministry, and.....

In the course of all that, we were blessed with a visit by our daughter and grand baby.  So much joy having them with us and yet so much sadness watching them go back.  Life... Ah life.  What craziness has been part of your journey this past month?  Make sure in all the craziness you don't forget to live.  To choose life and freedom.  To enjoy those around you. To see the work of God in you and through you.  To live thankfully for all He has done, is doing, and will do. 

Have I mentioned next week is Easter?!!!......
