- We had two great services today. The attendance this morning was higher than usual, but it's only going to get better. Wednesday, at InterMission, I'm going to announce an attendance goal that's going to be through the roof! Beyond the attendance, what was really encouraging about today's services was to see people seeking God with all their hearts. That's what our services should be about.
- Once again, the Mega Sports Camp was outstanding this year! We had more children than ever, the workers were diligent in doing their jobs, and God's Word was taught in fresh and relevant ways. Thanks to everyone who worked hard this past week, especially to the Mega Sports Camp director, Bernice. It's not an easy job, but once again, she did it in an outstanding manner. Solid Rock Church is blessed to have her, as well as everyone else who worked so hard. I'll put up some pictures of from the camp later this week.
- I'm really excited about this month's InterMission, which will be held this Wednesday at 7:00 PM. I will be talking about our fall campaign, Nothing's Too Hard for God, and sharing some things that God has placed on my heart. Don't miss it!
- Have a great week. Pray for rain!

My sister-in-law, Sandy, and her six-year-old daughter, Araceli, were in a room across the hall. I hardly slept that night. I would doze off and suddenly wake up to my father crying and calling out my brother’s name. My brother was dead. Osiel had collapsed that morning while his h...
