Well, it was an amazing week in Greek Ministry here at USC.
It was standing-room only in the ADPi house as students laughed, learned and fell more deeply in love with the Lord.
I’ve never heard Joel speak more powerfully, helping the students see how they could have their identity in Christ.
Here’s a video he used in the middle of his talk. It helped the students relate with their peers who have all been transformed by Christ since college…praise God! I could go on for hours sharing with you these students stories…but here’s a quick glimpse!
Since it's nearing 1 AM I will just give you a taste of our night...
Standing room only, tons of laughter, tons of Truth. Praying for tons of life-change.
Well, I had hoped otherwise, but it was only a matter of time before our life got back in the fast lane of ministry.
Truly, it's a praise because God is doing so many great things that we literally can't keep track of it all. (No matter how hard my Type-A self tries.)
Today was a hilarious mix of a staff leadership ...

Earlier this summer, Joel and I were blown away when we heard about a church in Birmingham signing up to foster every orphan in their entire city.
The pastor of the Church at Brook Hills recounted going to a local foster care office in Birmingham and asking them how many families they would need to care for ...
"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."

Campus life is in FULL swing.
Yesterday, we were on the Horseshoe with 5,000 other people watching sorority Bid Day. (Now THAT is a hilariously interesting experience...another post for another day.)
Once upon a time we used to have time for Home Repair Projects.
Here's a quick "Before & After" shot of our deck that Joel and his brother stained this summer.

Today was a challenging day on campus. Yet, I am so encouraged by this devotional excerpt from a blog I really enjoy...
"God never place us in any position in which we can not grow. We may fancy that He does. We may fear we are so impeded by fretting, petty cares that we are gaining nothing; but when we are ...
Is the amount of time it takes to hand out 1200 Popsicles to a bunch of sweaty college students.
During the heat of the day we got to give people a sweet, frozen treat and an invitation to Campus Crusade for Christ's weekly meeting. It will be tomorrow night at 8pm in the Capstone Campus Room, for all you locals!
Please pray ...
