Really nice weekend at ol' Xroads - or St. Awesome's as a few of my friends and I have taken to calling it, don't ask me why. I had the privilege of volunteering on the video team this weekend so I got to observe three different crowds celebrating what God's been doing in people's lives throughout the last three years.
It was really awesome to hear Glen read the letters that people have sent him regarding how being a part of the Above and Beyond campaign has affected their lives.
I figured it's possible that maybe some of you have stories that, for whatever reason, you didn't email to Glen but still might like to share. Or maybe after being in the service this weekend you were touched and have something on your heart you'd like people to hear. If so, this is your place.
Just look down at the bottom of this post and you'll see the word "comments." That's a link to the blog's comment section. Just click it and a little box will open where you can type in a message - or read messages other people have left.

Patrick,
OK-I'll be the first to comment about this weekend. What I remember and treasure is that the couple sitting with my husband and I are 2 of the people whose names I wrote on that stage, and they have since been coming with us off and on. This Sunday they both sat there , obviously emotional and affected by the message. The wife went up to write someone's name on the panel. I still haven't told them that their names are up there, but one day I will. We're about to go on vacation together so maybe God will give me a time to tell them on the trip.
Thanks Karen. It's nice how all of that came full circle.
Patrick,
Micah put his grandads name, a man who is in his 80's and very bitter about life and God, I wrote my father-in-law, a heartbroken man who just didn't want to believe in a God. Both have come to know Christ in the time since we put their names on the stage, even though they both live far away, God heard our cries for them and put people in their lives to lead them home. After seeing our prayer for them come to fruition, we both went crazy writing names of friend and neighbors on the sound panels (it's like magic).
