Jesus Jam Update

I was blown away by Justin Fatica last night! The theme of the night was "Radial Discipleship." Justin's message was that we live in a culture where the youth and young adults are tempted more than ever before. He preached that they need a strong relationship with the Lord and the support of the Church. So your thinking...."NO DUH!"

Well, let me tell you how he got this message out. He did a prayer workout where 12 or so participants volunteered to exercise and pray while others wrote out prayer requests - if you can't do it for yourself - do it for someone else. He called out people who had a poor self image (mostly ladies) and gentlemen who thought they didn't "measure up." They (and the audience) prayed for them and then he told them to go to reconciliation (the priests were all ready for them) - All of them went. His style vacillated from "in your face" to tear-jerking. His message was about loving all people no matter who they are or what they have been through.

The best part of the night was holding Leah! I had her most of the night - Thanks Monica! About 8:15 her daddy started to sing and BAM! She was out like a light! Daddy stopped singing about 8:30 and BAM! Wide awake! I was so busy with her that I didn't get a recent picture, but this is from last month:

Yes, her eyes are that big...she's not surprised!

That's all for now

Later.....
