No "deep thoughts" today.
Since it's raining this morning, I thought I would post something that reflects that in the XS blog:
This is too hilarious! This is two of our youth girls (who will remain nameless) singing in the shower while we were at the Quest retreat. (There's nothing inappropriate, you just hear them singing) Gotta love modern technology! Enjoy.

Quest
"Therefore tell the people: This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Return to me,' declares the LORD Almighty, 'and I will return to you,' says the LORD Almighty." Zachariah 1:3
First off, I want to say that the Quest retreat was amazing. We have the best group of kids on the planet and it is such an honor to serve them. The first night, we spent four hours in the Presence of God. Two of the hours was spent in worship, and two was spent in the Word. Those kids did not even move or fidget. Don't tell me kids can't pay attention for very long. Ours can. I believe this weekend was a turning point. XS is at a turning point right now. We have to cultivate and protect our relationship with God. We have to make sure we use this weekend as fuel to keep us always moving forward and never backward. Now that we've seen what God can do, there's no turning back. God is more real to our kids now than ever before in their lives. I can't wait to see what comes out of this. God is so cool!
Be blessed
