Here are a few reasons I thought tonight was a particularly good Light Force.
- We’ve got a mojo right now. While we are not, and never will be, "the coolest hippest thing in town" we do have a good feel. Environmentally, I think it’s a good mix of chaos/control and inquisitive/talkative.
- Solid, simple games. We’ve been doing old school, Scooby-style favorites and they are classics because they are classic.
- Content. I am decidedly uncool, but God’s word is always cool. I think that Bible teaching is one of our strongest points.
- Solid leaders. I can’t say enough about the crew we have. They are calm, helpful, caring, dedicated… I could go on forever.
- A level playing field. While we aren’t all the same, I think we do a good job establishing that we are all a big mess just trying to find Jesus, chase after him, and sit at his feet.
- Worship. We all know this is an area we need to grow in… but just like everyone else, I am waiting for God to do something. But for now… the worship team is right on. Looking back 2 years, it is clear this has been a growth area. Even though our worship has never been perfect… we still do it because we know, and I beleive strongly, that our act of obedience in worship releases God’s power among us.
- Fresh faces. Seems like every week there is someone new. Maybe they don’t always come back… but they are checking us out and that adds a fresh flavor.
- We are still not a "dating group." I’ve never been anti-dating but I am pro not dating. I think one of the cool vibes we have going is that it isn’t a meat market.
- Different people. I got to spend time tonight with some students that I’ve always really like but never really connected that well with. Personally, that made my day.
- That would have been nice and round to have 10 wouldn’t it of…. but I only have 9. So take that!
