Weekend in Houston Reflection

Coming back to New York from these days down south in Texas really feels like yet another new chapter with a new depth and level of seriousness.

Spending a week with young people of all ethnic backgrounds and financial class by speaking to, performing, praying, and ministering helps you to tap in to the universal issues of today.  We touched on chastity, and good relationships as well as family, God, and things as deep as suicide.  To say the least there is truly a spiritual warfare taking place in a deep way today.

It always amazes and humbles me how I have been chosen for this work.  In so many ways I am the least qualified and yet God still keeps using me.  The hurt, pain, and brokenness universally felt by so many across the country affects me deeply and what makes it worse is the ones who have the financial means, "education", and higher seats of position really aren't doing anything about it.

I say this all to tell every young person from Christ the Good Shepherd that I love you and you are with me in my prayers. I say all of this to say that you all inspire me deeply and have moved me to go even deeper than ever before.  May the grace of God be with you to battle, and may every influence that is less than Holy be removed from your path. Amen.
