I am not sure what the deal is but I have spent the last 24 hours feeling like yesterday had to be Friday, making today Saturday. I know that isn't really the case but it sure has felt that way. It was hard to get up this morning and think of having a full work day ahead of me rather than my usual half-day Saturday. Oh well.

Three leaders from our church, along with thousands of others, are headed to the National Youth Workers Convention in Atlanta today. Let's pray that it will be a time of enjoyable renewal and refreshment for them containing lots of learning to help them better connect with and lead today's youth. When I look at the youth of our church and see where they are in comparison to where my generation was 30 years ago, and I think about how much harsher things are today, you cannot miss the fact that God is at work big time amongst them. We really are raising up a generation that is going to have a world impact.

In the meantime, I will remind myself that it is Friday and there are undoubtedly great things in store for us all today.
