Reflections on culture, faith and the good news of Jesus as the kingdom of God comes to Oxford and Ole Miss. "For Christ's love compels us..." II Corinthians 5:14

Philadelphia...Mississippi that is!

The mission of God is sending us to Philadelphia, Mississippi this weekend. Sorry Katie...not Philly, PA! :) Our family, Logan, Micah, and Marlon are headed to Betsy's house tonight. We'll be with Betsy and her home church Sunday morning.

Betsy is one of those students you love to have on your side in anything (basketball and pharmacy group projects come to mind), but especially in campus ministry. One of my favorite memories of her is Welcome Week two years ago. I somehow convinced her and Abbey to walk the halls of the girls' dorm handing out pizza and inviting them to be part of Rebels for Christ. And Betsy was a freshman herself! Those girls must have thought Abbey and Betsy were strange...but good strange! The light of Christ is always "good strange" in our culture.

It will be neat to be with her family and the church that helped shape her into the disciple of Jesus she is today. I'm glad we have her for a couple more years, Lord willing. Thank you, Lord, for Betsy!
